These expressions to compute the component values have been
simplified for ease of presentation.  Some variables related to
parasitic elements have been ignored.
If any of the results are not satisfactory, choose different
standard values for the resistors or a different voltage for the
Zener diode.  Gross deviations from the desired results may
require different values for the parameters chosen at the
beginning of this step, since some sets of parameters may not be
compatible.
Step 16.  Calculate values for resistors in optional external
under-voltage lockout circuit.
The resistor network that determines the characteristics of the
external duty ratio limit sets the minimum voltage where the
converter begins to operate.  The contributions of current from
the bias voltage create too much hysteresis for the circuit to be
useful as an under-voltage detector after the converter begins to
operate.  Therefore, the external under-voltage circuit in
Figure 9 is recommended for applications where a positive turn-
off threshold is desired.
Choose a value V
 for the turn-off threshold and a value
