Hi,
It is suggested to start with 100 kΩ for the value of the upper resistor of the FB divider.
Disregarding efficiency and values that are obviously too low, is there any reason why the value can't be below 100 kΩ?
For instance, a divider made with a 2.49 kΩ and a 332 Ω resistor should set the output voltage to 5 V.
This would result with about 1.8 mA and 9 mW lost trough the resistors.
Thanks,
Richard
