NCP1608 Design Spreadsheet

Rev. 2.0 - Skyler Covington June 2009

This spreadsheet aids in the design of a boost converter using the NCP1608 (details of the equations are in the datasheet).
Note that this is a general tool to assist designers in using the controller; the output is a guideline and does not guarantee the success
of a particular system design.
