ETC LM2575D2T-15R

LM2575
1.0 A, Adjustable Output
Voltage, Step-Down
Switching Regulator
The LM2575 series of regulators are monolithic integrated circuits
ideally suited for easy and convenient design of a step–down
switching regulator (buck converter). All circuits of this series are
capable of driving a 1.0 A load with excellent line and load regulation.
These devices are available in fixed output voltages of 3.3 V, 5.0 V,
12 V, 15 V, and an adjustable output version.
These regulators were designed to minimize the number of external
components to simplify the power supply design. Standard series of
inductors optimized for use with the LM2575 are offered by several
different inductor manufacturers.
Since the LM2575 converter is a switch–mode power supply, its
efficiency is significantly higher in comparison with popular
three–terminal linear regulators, especially with higher input voltages.
In many cases, the power dissipated by the LM2575 regulator is so
low, that no heatsink is required or its size could be reduced
dramatically.
The LM2575 features include a guaranteed ±4% tolerance on output
voltage within specified input voltages and output load conditions, and
±10% on the oscillator frequency (±2% over 0°C to 125°C). External
shutdown is included, featuring 80 µA typical standby current. The
output switch includes cycle–by–cycle current limiting, as well as
thermal shutdown for full protection under fault conditions.

3. The oscillator frequency reduces to approximately 18 kHz in the event of an output short or an overload which causes the regulated output
voltage to drop approximately 40% from the nominal output voltage. This self protection feature lowers the average dissipation of the IC by

PCB LAYOUT GUIDELINES
On the other hand, the PCB area connected to the Pin 2
(emitter of the internal switch) of the LM2575 should be
kept to a minimum in order to minimize coupling to sensitive
circuitry.
Another sensitive part of the circuit is the feedback. It is
important to keep the sensitive feedback wiring short. To
assure this, physically locate the programming resistors near
to the regulator, when using the adjustable version of the
LM2575 regulator.
As in any switching regulator, the layout of the printed
circuit board is very important. Rapidly switching currents
associated with wiring inductance, stray capacitance and
parasitic inductance of the printed circuit board traces can
generate voltage transients which can generate
electromagnetic interferences (EMI) and affect the desired
operation. As indicated in the Figure 14, to minimize
inductance and ground loops, the length of the leads
indicated by heavy lines should be kept as short as possible.
For best results, single–point grounding (as indicated) or
ground plane construction should be used.

Feedback
This pin senses regulated output voltage to complete the feedback loop. The signal is divided by the
internal resistor divider network R2, R1 and applied to the non–inverting input of the internal error amplifier.
In the Adjustable version of the LM2575 switching regulator this pin is the direct input of the error amplifier
and the resistor network R2, R1 is connected externally to allow programming of the output voltage.

ON/OFF
It allows the switching regulator circuit to be shut down using logic level signals, thus dropping the total
input supply current to approximately 80 µA. The input threshold voltage is typically 1.4 V. Applying a
voltage above this value (up to +Vin) shuts the regulator off. If the voltage applied to this pin is lower than
1.4 V or if this pin is connected to ground, the regulator will be in the “on” condition.
Description (Refer to Figure 1)
This pin is the positive input supply for the LM2575 step–down switching regulator. In order to minimize
voltage transients and to supply the switching currents needed by the regulator, a suitable input bypass
capacitor must be present (Cin in Figure 1).
This is the emitter of the internal switch. The saturation voltage Vsat of this output switch is typically 1.0 V.
It should be kept in mind that the PCB area connected to this pin should be kept to a minimum in order to
minimize coupling to sensitive circuitry.
Circuit ground pin. See the information about the printed circuit board layout.
DESIGN PROCEDURE
Buck Converter Basics
The LM2575 is a “Buck” or Step–Down Converter which
is the most elementary forward–mode converter. Its basic
schematic can be seen in Figure 15.
The operation of this regulator topology has two distinct
time periods. The first one occurs when the series switch is
on, the input voltage is connected to the input of the inductor.
The output of the inductor is the output voltage, and the
rectifier (or catch diode) is reverse biased. During this
period, since there is a constant voltage source connected
across the inductor, the inductor current begins to linearly
ramp upwards, as described by the following equation:
I
L(on)
I
For the buck converter with ideal components, the duty
cycle can also be described as:

This period ends when the power switch is once again
turned on. Regulation of the converter is accomplished by
varying the duty cycle of the power switch. It is possible to
describe the duty cycle as follows:
During this “on” period, energy is stored within the core
material in the form of magnetic flux. If the inductor is
properly designed, there is sufficient energy stored to carry
the requirements of the load during the “off” period.

L(off)
Figure 15. Basic Buck Converter
The next period is the “off” period of the power switch.
When the power switch turns off, the voltage across the
inductor reverses its polarity and is clamped at one diode
voltage drop below ground by catch dioded. Current now
flows through the catch diode thus maintaining the load
current loop. This removes the stored energy from the
inductor. The inductor current during this time is:

Procedure (Fixed Output Voltage Version) In order to simplify the switching regulator design, a step–by–step
design procedure and example is provided.
Procedure
Example
Given Parameters:
Vout = Regulated Output Voltage (3.3 V, 5.0 V, 12 V or 15 V)
Vin(max) = Maximum DC Input Voltage
ILoad(max) = Maximum Load Current
Given Parameters:
Vout = 5.0 V
Vin(max) = 20 V
ILoad(max) = 0.8 A
1. Controller IC Selection
According to the required input voltage, output voltage and
current, select the appropriate type of the controller IC output
voltage version.
1. Controller IC Selection
According to the required input voltage, output voltage,
current polarity and current value, use the LM2575–5
controller IC
2. Input Capacitor Selection (Cin)
To prevent large voltage transients from appearing at the input
and for stable operation of the converter, an aluminium or
tantalum electrolytic bypass capacitor is needed between the
input pin +Vin and ground pin Gnd. This capacitor should be
located close to the IC using short leads. This capacitor should
have a low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) value.
2. Input Capacitor Selection (Cin)
A 47 µF, 25 V aluminium electrolytic capacitor located near
to the input and ground pins provides sufficient bypassing.
3. Catch Diode Selection (D1)
A. For this example the current rating of the diode is 1.0 A.
3. Catch Diode Selection (D1)
A. Since the diode maximum peak current exceeds the
regulator maximum load current the catch diode current
rating must be at least 1.2 times greater than the maximum
load current. For a robust design the diode should have a
current rating equal to the maximum current limit of the
LM2575 to be able to withstand a continuous output short
B. The reverse voltage rating of the diode should be at least
1.25 times the maximum input voltage.
B. Use a 30 V 1N5818 Schottky diode, or any of the
suggested fast recovery diodes shown in the Table 4.
4. Inductor Selection (L1)

correct inductor value using the selection guide from
Figures 17 to 21.

C. Select an appropriate inductor from the several different
manufacturers part numbers listed in Table 1 or Table 2.

LM2575
Procedure (Fixed Output Voltage Version) (continued)In order to simplify the switching regulator design, a step–by–step
design procedure and example is provided.
Procedure
Example
5. Output Capacitor Selection (Cout)
A. Since the LM2575 is a forward–mode switching regulator
with voltage mode control, its open loop 2–pole–2–zero
frequency characteristic has the dominant pole–pair
determined by the output capacitor and inductor values. For
stable operation and an acceptable ripple voltage,
(approximately 1% of the output voltage) a value between
100 µF and 470 µF is recommended.
B. Due to the fact that the higher voltage electrolytic capacitors
generally have lower ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance)
numbers, the output capacitor’s voltage rating should be at
least 1.5 times greater than the output voltage. For a 5.0 V
regulator, a rating at least 8V is appropriate, and a 10 V or
16 V rating is recommended.
5. Output Capacitor Selection (Cout)
A. Cout = 100 µF to 470 µF standard aluminium electrolytic.
B. Capacitor voltage rating = 16 V.
Procedure (Adjustable Output Version: LM2575–Adj)
Procedure
Example
Given Parameters:
Vout = Regulated Output Voltage
Vin(max) = Maximum DC Input Voltage
ILoad(max) = Maximum Load Current
Given Parameters:
Vout = 8.0 V
Vin(max) = 12 V
ILoad(max) = 1.0 A
1. Programming Output Voltage
To select the right programming resistor R1 and R2 value (see
Figure 14) use the following formula:

2. Input Capacitor Selection (Cin)
To prevent large voltage transients from appearing at the input
and for stable operation of the converter, an aluminium or
tantalum electrolytic bypass capacitor is needed between the
input pin +Vin and ground pin Gnd This capacitor should be
located close to the IC using short leads. This capacitor should
have a low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) value.
2. Input Capacitor Selection (Cin)
A 100 µF aluminium electrolytic capacitor located near the
input and ground pin provides sufficient bypassing.
For additional information see input capacitor section in the
“External Components” section of this data sheet.
3. Catch Diode Selection (D1)
A. Since the diode maximum peak current exceeds the
regulator maximum load current the catch diode current
rating must be at least 1.2 times greater than the maximum
load current. For a robust design, the diode should have a
current rating equal to the maximum current limit of the
LM2575 to be able to withstand a continuous output short.
B. The reverse voltage rating of the diode should be at least
1.25 times the maximum input voltage.
3. Catch Diode Selection (D1)
A. For this example, a 3.0 A current rating is adequate.
B. Use a 20 V 1N5820 or MBR320 Schottky diode or any
suggested fast recovery diode in the Table 4.

B. E x T = 51 [V x µs]
B. Match the calculated E x T value with the corresponding
number on the vertical axis of the Inductor Value Selection
Guide shown in Figure 21. This E x T constant is a measure
of the energy handling capability of an inductor and is
dependent upon the type of core, the core area, the number
of turns, and the duty cycle.
C. Next step is to identify the inductance region intersected by
the E x T value and the maximum load current value on the
horizontal axis shown in Figure 21.
D. From the inductor code, identify the inductor value. Then
select an appropriate inductor from the Table 1 or Table 2.
The inductor chosen must be rated for a switching
frequency of 52 kHz and for a current rating of 1.15 x IIoad.
The inductor current rating can also be determined by
calculating the inductor peak current:

For stable operation, the capacitor must satisfy the
following requirement:

B. Capacitor values between 10 µF and 2000 µF will satisfy
the loop requirements for stable operation. To achieve an
acceptable output ripple voltage and transient response, the
output capacitor may need to be several times larger than
the above formula yields.
C. Due to the fact that the higher voltage electrolytic capacitors
generally have lower ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance)
numbers, the output capacitor’s voltage rating should be at
least 1.5 times greater than the output voltage. For a 5.0 V
regulator, a rating of at least 8V is appropriate, and a 10 V
or 16 V rating is recommended.

EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
Input Capacitor (Cin)
The Input Capacitor Should Have a Low ESR
loop, resulting in oscillation at the output. This situation can
occur when a tantalum capacitor, that can have a very low
ESR, is used as the only output capacitor.
For stable operation of the switch mode converter a low
ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) aluminium or solid
tantalum bypass capacitor is needed between the input pin
and the ground pin to prevent large voltage transients from
appearing at the input. It must be located near the regulator
and use short leads. With most electrolytic capacitors, the
capacitance value decreases and the ESR increases with
lower temperatures. For reliable operation in temperatures
below –25°C larger values of the input capacitor may be
needed. Also paralleling a ceramic or solid tantalum
capacitor will increase the regulator stability at cold
temperatures.
At Low Temperatures, Put in Parallel Aluminium
Electrolytic Capacitors with Tantalum Capacitors
Electrolytic capacitors are not recommended for
temperatures below –25°C. The ESR rises dramatically at
cold temperatures and typically rises 3 times at –25°C and
as much as 10 times at –40°C. Solid tantalum capacitors
have much better ESR spec at cold temperatures and are
recommended for temperatures below –25°C. They can be
also used in parallel with aluminium electrolytics. The value
of the tantalum capacitor should be about 10% or 20% of the
total capacitance. The output capacitor should have at least
50% higher RMS ripple current rating at 52 kHz than the
peak–to–peak inductor ripple current.
RMS Current Rating of Cin
The important parameter of the input capacitor is the RMS
current rating. Capacitors that are physically large and have
large surface area will typically have higher RMS current
ratings. For a given capacitor value, a higher voltage
electrolytic capacitor will be physically larger than a lower
voltage capacitor, and thus be able to dissipate more heat to
the surrounding air, and therefore will have a higher RMS
current rating. The consequence of operating an electrolytic
capacitor above the RMS current rating is a shortened
operating life. In order to assure maximum capacitor
operating lifetime, the capacitor’s RMS ripple current rating
should be:
Catch Diode
Locate the Catch Diode Close to the LM2575
The LM2575 is a step–down buck converter; it requires a
fast diode to provide a return path for the inductor current
when the switch turns off. This diode must be located close
to the LM2575 using short leads and short printed circuit
traces to avoid EMI problems.
Use a Schottky or a Soft Switching
Ultra–Fast Recovery Diode
Since the rectifier diodes are very significant source of
losses within switching power supplies, choosing the
rectifier that best fits into the converter design is an
important process. Schottky diodes provide the best
performance because of their fast switching speed and low
forward voltage drop.
They provide the best efficiency especially in low output
voltage applications (5.0 V and lower). Another choice
could be Fast–Recovery, or Ultra–Fast Recovery diodes. It
has to be noted, that some types of these diodes with an
abrupt turnoff characteristic may cause instability or EMI
troubles.
A fast–recovery diode with soft recovery characteristics
can better fulfill a quality, low noise design requirements.
Table 4 provides a list of suitable diodes for the LM2575
regulator. Standard 50/60 Hz rectifier diodes such as the
1N4001 series or 1N5400 series are NOT suitable.

Output Capacitor (Cout)
For low output ripple voltage and good stability, low ESR
output capacitors are recommended. An output capacitor
has two main functions: it filters the output and provides
regulator loop stability. The ESR of the output capacitor and
the peak–to–peak value of the inductor ripple current are the
main factors contributing to the output ripple voltage value.
Standard aluminium electrolytics could be adequate for
some applications but for quality design low ESR types are
recommended.
An aluminium electrolytic capacitor’s ESR value is
related to many factors such as the capacitance value, the
voltage rating, the physical size and the type of construction.
In most cases, the higher voltage electrolytic capacitors have
lower ESR value. Often capacitors with much higher
voltage ratings may be needed to provide low ESR values
that are required for low output ripple voltage.
Inductor
The magnetic components are the cornerstone of all
switching power supply designs. The style of the core and
the winding technique used in the magnetic component’s
design has a great influence on the reliability of the overall
power supply.
Using an improper or poorly designed inductor can cause
high voltage spikes generated by the rate of transitions in
current within the switching power supply, and the
possibility of core saturation can arise during an abnormal
operational mode. Voltage spikes can cause the
semiconductors to enter avalanche breakdown and the part
can instantly fail if enough energy is applied. It can also
cause significant RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) and
EMI (Electro–Magnetic Interference) problems.
The Output Capacitor Requires an ESR Value
That Has an Upper and Lower Limit
As mentioned above, a low ESR value is needed for low
output ripple voltage, typically 1% to 2% of the output
voltage. But if the selected capacitor’s ESR is extremely low
(below 0.05 Ω), there is a possibility of an unstable feedback
http://onsemi.com

LM2575
Continuous and Discontinuous Mode of Operation
amount of EMI (Electro–Magnetic Interference) shielding
that the core must provide. The inductor selection guide
covers different styles of inductors, such as pot core, E–core,
toroid and bobbin core, as well as different core materials
such as ferrites and powdered iron from different
manufacturers.
For high quality design regulators the toroid core seems to
be the best choice. Since the magnetic flux is completely
contained within the core, it generates less EMI, reducing
noise problems in sensitive circuits. The least expensive is
the bobbin core type, which consists of wire wound on a
ferrite rod core. This type of inductor generates more EMI
due to the fact that its core is open, and the magnetic flux is
not completely contained within the core.
When multiple switching regulators are located on the
same printed circuit board, open core magnetics can cause
interference between two or more of the regulator circuits,
especially at high currents due to mutual coupling. A toroid,
pot core or E–core (closed magnetic structure) should be
used in such applications.
Do Not Operate an Inductor Beyond its
Maximum Rated Current
Exceeding an inductor’s maximum current rating may
cause the inductor to overheat because of the copper wire
losses, or the core may saturate. Core saturation occurs when
the flux density is too high and consequently the cross
sectional area of the core can no longer support additional
lines of magnetic flux.
This causes the permeability of the core to drop, the
inductance value decreases rapidly and the inductor begins
to look mainly resistive. It has only the dc resistance of the
winding. This can cause the switch current to rise very
rapidly and force the LM2575 internal switch into
cycle–by–cycle current limit, thus reducing the dc output
load current. This can also result in overheating of the
inductor and/or the LM2575. Different inductor types have
different saturation characteristics, and this should be kept
in mind when selecting an inductor.

The LM2575 step–down converter can operate in both the
continuous and the discontinuous modes of operation. The
regulator works in the continuous mode when loads are
relatively heavy, the current flows through the inductor
continuously and never falls to zero. Under light load
conditions, the circuit will be forced to the discontinuous
mode when inductor current falls to zero for certain period
of time (see Figure 22 and Figure 23). Each mode has
distinctively different operating characteristics, which can
affect the regulator performance and requirements. In many
cases the preferred mode of operation is the continuous
mode. It offers greater output power, lower peak currents in
the switch, inductor and diode, and can have a lower output
ripple voltage. On the other hand it does require larger
inductor values to keep the inductor current flowing
continuously, especially at low output load currents and/or
high input voltages.
To simplify the inductor selection process, an inductor
selection guide for the LM2575 regulator was added to this
data sheet (Figures 17 through 21). This guide assumes that
the regulator is operating in the continuous mode, and
selects an inductor that will allow a peak–to–peak inductor
ripple current to be a certain percentage of the maximum
design load current. This percentage is allowed to change as
different design load currents are selected. For light loads
(less than approximately 200 mA) it may be desirable to
operate the regulator in the discontinuous mode, because the
inductor value and size can be kept relatively low.
Consequently, the percentage of inductor peak–to–peak
current increases. This discontinuous mode of operation is
perfectly acceptable for this type of switching converter.
Any buck regulator will be forced to enter discontinuous
mode if the load current is light enough.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
Output Voltage Ripple and Transients
Source of the Output Ripple
Heatsinking and Thermal Considerations
The Through–Hole Package TO–220
Since the LM2575 is a switch mode power supply
regulator, its output voltage, if left unfiltered, will contain a
sawtooth ripple voltage at the switching frequency. The
output ripple voltage value ranges from 0.5% to 3% of the
output voltage. It is caused mainly by the inductor sawtooth
ripple current multiplied by the ESR of the output capacitor.
The LM2575 is available in two packages, a 5–pin
TO–220(T, TV) and a 5–pin surface mount D2PAK(D2T).
There are many applications that require no heatsink to keep
the LM2575 junction temperature within the allowed
operating range. The TO–220 package can be used without
a heatsink for ambient temperatures up to approximately
50°C (depending on the output voltage and load current).
Higher ambient temperatures require some heatsinking,
either to the printed circuit (PC) board or an external
heatsink.
Short Voltage Spikes and How to Reduce Them
The regulator output voltage may also contain short
voltage spikes at the peaks of the sawtooth waveform (see
Figure 24). These voltage spikes are present because of the
fast switching action of the output switch, and the parasitic
inductance of the output filter capacitor. There are some
other important factors such as wiring inductance, stray
capacitance, as well as the scope probe used to evaluate these
transients, all these contribute to the amplitude of these
spikes. To minimize these voltage spikes, low inductance
capacitors should be used, and their lead lengths must be
kept short. The importance of quality printed circuit board
layout design should also be highlighted.
The Surface Mount Package D 2PAK and its
Heatsinking
The other type of package, the surface mount D2PAK, is
designed to be soldered to the copper on the PC board. The
copper and the board are the heatsink for this package and
the other heat producing components, such as the catch
diode and inductor. The PC board copper area that the
package is soldered to should be at least 0.4 in2 (or 100 mm2)
and ideally should have 2 or more square inches (1300 mm2)
of 0.0028 inch copper. Additional increasing of copper area
beyond approximately 3.0 in2 (2000 mm2) will not improve
heat dissipation significantly. If further thermal
improvements are needed, double sided or multilayer PC
boards with large copper areas should be considered.

switch and the parasitic inductance of the output capacitor

Thermal Analysis and Design
The following procedure must be performed to determine
whether or not a heatsink will be required. First determine:
1. PD(max) maximum regulator power dissipation in
the application.
2. TA(max) maximum ambient temperature in the
application.
3. TJ(max)
maximum allowed junction temperature
(125°C for the LM2575). For a conservative
design, the maximum junction temperature
should not exceed 110°C to assure safe
operation. For every additional 10°C
temperature rise that the junction must
withstand, the estimated operating lifetime
of the component is halved.

Figure 24. Output Ripple Voltage Waveforms
Minimizing the Output Ripple
In order to minimize the output ripple voltage it is possible
to enlarge the inductance value of the inductor L1 and/or to
use a larger value output capacitor. There is also another way
to smooth the output by means of an additional LC filter
(20 µH, 100 µF), that can be added to the output (see
Figure 33) to further reduce the amount of output ripple and
transients. With such a filter it is possible to reduce the
output ripple voltage transients 10 times or more. Figure 24
shows the difference between filtered and unfiltered output
waveforms of the regulator shown in Figure 33.
The upper waveform is from the normal unfiltered output
of the converter, while the lower waveform shows the output
ripple voltage filtered by an additional LC filter.
The following formula is to calculate the total power
dissipated by the LM2575:

ADDITIONAL APPLICATIONS
Inverting Regulator
TJ = (RθJA) (PD) + TA
An inverting buck–boost regulator using the LM2575–12
is shown in Figure 25. This circuit converts a positive input
voltage to a negative output voltage with a common ground
by bootstrapping the regulators ground to the negative
output voltage. By grounding the feedback pin, the regulator
senses the inverted output voltage and regulates it.
In this example the LM2575–12 is used to generate a
–12 V output. The maximum input voltage in this case
cannot exceed +28 V because the maximum voltage
appearing across the regulator is the absolute sum of the
input and output voltages and this must be limited to a
maximum of 40 V.
This circuit configuration is able to deliver approximately
0.35 A to the output when the input voltage is 12 V or higher.
At lighter loads the minimum input voltage required drops
to approximately 4.7 V, because the buck–boost regulator
topology can produce an output voltage that, in its absolute
value, is either greater or less than the input voltage.
Since the switch currents in this buck–boost configuration
are higher than in the standard buck converter topology, the
available output current is lower.
This type of buck–boost inverting regulator can also
require a larger amount of startup input current, even for
light loads. This may overload an input power source with
a current limit less than 1.5 A.
Such an amount of input startup current is needed for at
least 2.0 ms or more. The actual time depends on the output
voltage and size of the output capacitor.
Because of the relatively high startup currents required by
this inverting regulator topology, the use of a delayed startup
or an undervoltage lockout circuit is recommended.
where (RθJA)(PD) represents the junction temperature rise
caused by the dissipated power and TA is the maximum
ambient temperature.
Packages on a Heatsink
If the actual operating junction temperature is greater than
the selected safe operating junction temperature determined
in step 3, than a heatsink is required. The junction
temperature will be calculated as follows:
TJ = PD (RθJA + RθCS + RθSA) + TA
where
L1
100 µH
RθJC is the thermal resistance junction–case,
RθCS is the thermal resistance case–heatsink,
RθSA is the thermal resistance heatsink–ambient.
If the actual operating temperature is greater than the
selected safe operating junction temperature, then a larger
heatsink is required.
Some Aspects That can Influence Thermal Design
It should be noted that the package thermal resistance and
the junction temperature rise numbers are all approximate,
and there are many factors that will affect these numbers,
such as PC board size, shape, thickness, physical position,
location, board temperature, as well as whether the
surrounding air is moving or still.
Other factors are trace width, total printed circuit copper
area, copper thickness, single– or double–sided, multilayer
board, the amount of solder on the board or even color of the
traces.
The size, quantity and spacing of other components on
the board can also influence its effectiveness to dissipate
the heat.

Using a delayed startup arrangement, the input capacitor
can charge up to a higher voltage before the switch–mode
regulator begins to operate.
The high input current needed for startup is now partially
supplied by the input capacitor Cin.
+Vin
Shutdown
Input
5.0 V
The inverting regulator operates in a different manner
than the buck converter and so a different design procedure
has to be used to select the inductor L1 or the output
capacitor Cout.
The output capacitor values must be larger than is
normally required for buck converter designs. Low input
voltages or high output currents require a large value output
capacitor (in the range of thousands of µF).
The recommended range of inductor values for the
inverting converter design is between 68 µH and 220 µH. To
select an inductor with an appropriate current rating, the
inductor peak current has to be calculated.
The following formula is used to obtain the peak inductor
current:

With the inverting configuration, the use of the ON/OFF

by the fact, that the ground pin of the converter IC is no
longer at ground. Now, the ON/OFF pin threshold voltage
(1.4 V approximately) has to be related to the negative
output voltage level. There are many different possible shut
down methods, two of them are shown in Figures 27 and 28.

Negative Boost Regulator
This example is a variation of the buck–boost topology
and is called a negative boost regulator. This regulator
experiences relatively high switch current, especially at low
input voltages. The internal switch current limiting results in
lower output load current capability.
The circuit in Figure 29 shows the negative boost
configuration. The input voltage in this application ranges
from –5.0 V to –12 V and provides a regulated –12 V output.
It has been already mentioned above, that in some
situations, the delayed startup or the undervoltage lockout
features could be very useful. A delayed startup circuit
applied to a buck–boost converter is shown in Figure 26.

Figure 30. Delayed Startup Circuitry
Figure 29. Negative Boost Regulator
Undervoltage Lockout
Design Recommendations:
Some applications require the regulator to remain off until
the input voltage reaches a certain threshold level. Figure 31
shows an undervoltage lockout circuit applied to a buck
regulator. A version of this circuit for buck–boost converter
is shown in Figure 32. Resistor R3 pulls the ON/OFF pin
high and keeps the regulator off until the input voltage
reaches a predetermined threshold level, which is
determined by the following expression:
The same design rules as for the previous inverting
buck–boost converter can be applied. The output capacitor
Cout must be chosen larger than would be required for a
standard buck converter. Low input voltages or high output
currents require a large value output capacitor (in the range
of thousands of µF). The recommended range of inductor
values for the negative boost regulator is the same as for
inverting converter design.
Another important point is that these negative boost
converters cannot provide current limiting load protection in
the event of a short in the output so some other means, such
as a fuse, may be necessary to provide the load protection.

Delayed Startup
1
There are some applications, like the inverting regulator
already mentioned above, which require a higher amount of
startup current. In such cases, if the input power source is
limited, this delayed startup feature becomes very useful.
To provide a time delay between the time the input voltage
is applied and the time when the output voltage comes up,
the circuit in Figure 30 can be used. As the input voltage is
applied, the capacitor C1 charges up, and the voltage across
the resistor R2 falls down. When the voltage on the ON/OFF
pin falls below the threshold value 1.4 V, the regulator starts
up. Resistor R1 is included to limit the maximum voltage
applied to the ON/OFF pin, reduces the power supply noise
sensitivity, and also limits the capacitor C1 discharge
current, but its use is not mandatory.
When a high 50 Hz or 60 Hz (100 Hz or 120 Hz
respectively) ripple voltage exists, a long delay time can
