All circuits of this series are capable of driving a 1.0A load with excellent line and load regulation. These devices are available in fixed output voltages of 3.3V, 5.0V, 12V, 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 TC2575 are offered by several different inductor manufacturers. Since the TC2575 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 is so low, that no heatsinking is required or its size can be reduced dramatically. The TC2575 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 80µA (typical) standby current. The output switch includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting, as well as thermal shutdown for full protection under fault conditions.

TC2575-1 3/13/00 3 1.0A Step-Down Switching Regulator TC2575 PIN DESCRIPTION Pin No. 5-Pin TO-220 Symbol 1 VIN 2 Output 3 GND 4 Feedback 5 ON/OFF Description This pin is the positive input supply for the TC2575 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 1.0V. 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 boad layout. 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 TC2575 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. It allows the switching regulator circuit to be shut down using logic level signals, thus dropping the total input supply current to approximately 80µA. The threshold voltage is typically 1.4V. Applying a voltage above this value (up to +VIN) shuts the regulator off. If the voltage applied to this pin is lower than 1.4V or if this pin is left open, the regulator will be in the "on" condition.

Typical Test Circuit TC2575-1 3/13/00 5 1.0A Step-Down Switching Regulator TC2575 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 the catch diode. 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: PCB LAYOUT GUIDELINES 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 2, 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. On the other hand, the PCB area connected to the Pin 2 (emitter of the internal switch) of the TC2575 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 TC2575 regulator. (VOUT – VD ) tOFF L 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: IL (OFF) = d = tON , where T is the period of switching. T For the buck converter with ideal components, the duty cycle can also be described as: d = VOUT VIN DESIGN PROCEDURE Buck Converter Basics Figure 4 shows the buck converter idealized waveforms of the catch diode voltage and the inductor current. The TC2575 is a “Buck” or Step–Down Converter which is the most elementary forward–mode converter. Its basic schematic can be seen in Figure 3. 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: Diode Voltage VON (SW) Power Switch Off Power Switch On Power Switch Off Power Switch On Time (VIN – VOUT ) tON L 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.

Basic Buck Converter TC2575-1 3/13/00 6 1.0A Step-Down Switching Regulator TC2575 Procedure (Fixed Output Voltage Version) In order to simplify the switching regulator design, a step-by-step design procedure and some examples are provided. Procedure Example Given Parameters: VOUT = Regulated Output Voltage (3.3V, 5.0V or 12V) VIN(max) = Maximum DC Input Voltage ILOAD(max) = Maximum Load Current 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. 2. Input Capacitor Selection (CIN ) To prevent large voltage transients from appearing at the input and for stable operation of the converter, an aluminum 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. 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 TC2575 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. 4. Inductor Selection (L1) A. According to the required working conditions, select the correct inductor value using the selection guide from Figures 32 to 36. B. From the appropriate inductor selection guide, identify the inductance region intersected by the Maximum Input Voltage line and the Maximum Load Current line. Each region is identified by an inductance value and an inductor code. C. Select an appropriate inductor from the several different manufacturers part numbers listed in Table 1 or Table 2 When using Table 2 for selecting the right inductor, the designer must realize that the inductor current rating must be higher than the maximum peak current flowing through the inductor. This maximum peak current can be calculated as follows: IP(max) = ILOAD (max)+ (VIN – VOUT ) tON 2L where tON is the "on" time of the power switch and tON = VOUT VIN 1.0 x fOSC For additional information about the inductor, see the inductor section in the “EXTERNAL COMPONENTS” section of this data sheet. TC2575-1 3/13/00 7 Given Parameters: VOUT = 5.0V VIN (max) = 20V ILOAD (max) = 0.8A 1. Controller IC Selection According to the required input voltage, output voltage, current polarity and current value, use the TC2575 (5V) controller IC. 2. Input Capacitor Selection (CIN ) A 47µF, 25V 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 1.0A B. Use a 30V 1N5818 Schottky diode, or any of the suggested fast recovery diodes shown in Table 4. 4. Inductor Selection (L1) A. Use the inductor selection guide shown in Figure 32 to 36. B. From the selection guide, the inductance area intersected by the 20V line and 0.8A line is L300. C. Inductor value required is 300µH. From Table 1, or Table 2, choose an inductor from any of the listed manufacturers. 1.0A Step-Down Switching Regulator TC2575 Procedure (Fixed Output Voltage Version) (Continued) In order to simplify the switching regulator design, a step-by-step design procedure and examples are provided. Procedure Example 5. Output Capacitor Selection (COUT ) A. COUT = 100µF to 470µF standard aluminium electrolytic. 5. Output Capacitor Selection (COUT) A. Since the TC2575 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 100µF and 470µF 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 5.0V regulator, a rating at least 8.0V is appropriate, and a 10Vor 16V rating is recommended. B. Capacitor voltage rating = 16V. Procedure (Adjustable Output Version: TC2575-ADJ) Procedure Example Given Parameters: VOUT = Regulated Output Voltage VIN (max) = Maximum DC Input Voltage ILOAD (max) = Maximum Load Current Given Parameters: VOUT = 8.0V VIN (max) = 12V ILOAD (max) = 1.0V 1. Programming Output Voltage To select the right programming resistor R1 and R2 value (see Figure 2) use the following formula: 1. Programming Output Voltage (selecting R1 and R2) Select R1 and R2 R2 VOUT = 1.23 1.0 + Select R1 = 1.8kΩ R1 ( VOUT = VREF 1.0 + R2 R1 ) where V REF ( = 1.23V R2 = R1 ( VV OUT REF Resistor R1 can be between 1.0kΩ and 5.0kΩ. (For best temperature coefficient and stability with time, use 1% metal film resitors). VOUT R2 = R1 –1 VREF ( 8.0V ) = 1.08k ( 1.23V – 1.0 ) –1 R1 = 9.91kΩ, choose a 9.88kΩ metal film resistor. ) 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. For additional information see input capacitor section in the “EXTERNAL COMPONENTS” section of this data sheet. TC2575-1 3/13/00 ) 2. Input Capacitor Selection (CIN ) A 100µF, aluminium electrolytic capacitor located near the input and ground pin provides sufficient bypassing. 8 1.0A Step-Down Switching Regulator TC2575 Procedure (Adjustable Output Version: TC2575-ADJ) (Continued) Procedure Example 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 TC2575 to be able to with stand 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 3.0A current rating is adequate. 4. Inductor Selection (L1) A. Use the following formula to calculate the inductor Volt x microsecond [V x µs] constant: 4. Inductor Selection (L1) A. Calculate E x T [V x µsec] constant: B. Use a 20V IN5820 or MBR320 Schottky diode or any suggested fast recovery diodes in Table 4. E x T = ( 12 – 8.0) x 6 E x T = ( VIN – VOUT) VOUT 10 x [V x µsec] VIN F[Hz] B. E x T = 51 [V x µsec] 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 37. 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 35. D. From the inductor code, identify the inductor value. Then select an appropriate inductor from Table 1 or Table 2. The inductor chosen must be rated for a switching frequency of 52kHz and for a current rating of 1.15 x ILOAD . The inductor current rating can also be determined by calculating the inductor peak current: C. ILOAD(max) = 1.0A Inductance Region = L220 D. Proper inductor value = 220µH Choose the inductor from Table 1 or Table 2 (VIN – VOUT) tON 2L IP (max) = ILOAD(max) + where tON is the "on" time of the power switch and tON = (VOUT VIN 1.0 ) x fOSC For additional information about the inductor, see the inductor section in the “External Components” section of this data sheet.

Output Capacitor Selection (COUT ) A. 12 COUT ≥ 7.785 = 53µF 8 x 220 5. Output Capacitor Selection (COUT ) A. Since the TC2575 is a forward–mode switching regulator with voltage mode control, its open loop 2–pole–1–zero frequency characteristic has the dominant pole–pair determined by the output capacitor and inductor values. To achieve an acceptable ripple voltage, select COUT 100µF electrolytic capacitor. For stable operation, the capacitor must satisfy the following requirement: COUT ≥ 7.785 VIN(max) [µF] VOUT x L [µF] B. Capacitor values between 10µF and 2000µF 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 5.0V regulator, a rating of at least 8.0V is appropriate, and a 10V or 16V rating is recommended. Table 1.

Often capacitors with much higher voltage ratings may be needed to provide low ESR values, that are required for low output ripple voltage. EXTERNAL COMPONENTS Input Capacitor (CIN) The Input Capacitor Should Have a Low ESR 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. 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 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. 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 52kHz 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 consequences of operating an electrolytic capacitor beyond 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 IRMS > 1.2 x d x ILOAD Locate the Catch Diode Close to the TC2575 The TC2575 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 TC2575 using short leads and short printed circuit traces to avoid EMI problems. where d is the duty cycle, for a buck regulator t V d = ON = OUT T VIN and d = tON IVOUT I = for a buck-boost regulator. T IVOUTI + VIN 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. 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. TC2575-1 3/13/00 13 1.0A Step-Down Switching Regulator TC2575 values to keep the inductor current flowing continuously, especially at low output load currents and/orhigh input voltages. To simplify the inductor selection process, an inductor selection guide for the TC2575 regulator was added to this data sheet (Figures 32 through 36). 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 200mA) 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. Table 4 provides a list of suitable diodes for the TC2575 regulator. Standard 50/60Hz rectifier diodes, such as the 1N4001 series or 1N5400 series are NOT suitable. 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 have 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. Selecting the Right Inductor Style POWER SWITCH CURRENT (A) Some important considerations when selecting a coretype are core material, cost, the output power of the powersupply, the physical volume the inductor must fit within, and the 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 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. 1.0 0 0.1 0 1.0 INDUCTOR CURRENT (A) INDUCTOR CURRENT (A) POWER SWITCH CURRENT (A) Continuous and Discontinuous Mode of Operation. The TC2575 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 5 and Figure 6). 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 0 0 HORIZONTAL TIME BASE: 5.0µsec/DIV HORIZONTAL TIME BASE: 5.0µsec/DIV Figure 5. Continuous Mode Switching Current Waveforms TC2575-1 3/13/00 0.1 Figure 6. Discontinuous Mode Switching Current Waveforms 14 1.0A Step-Down Switching Regulator TC2575 must be kept short. The importance of quality printed circuit board layout design should also be highlighted. This type of inductor generates more EMI due to the fact that its core is open, and the magnetic flux is not 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. Voltage spikes caused by switching action of the output switch and the parasitic inductance of the output capacitor UNFILITERED OUTPUT VOLTAGE Do Not Operate an Inductor Beyond its Maximum Rated Current VERTICAL RESOLUTION: 20mV/DIV 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 TC2575 internal switch into cycle-bycycle current limit, thus reducing the DC output load current. This can also result in overheating of the inductor and/or the TC2575. Different inductor types have different saturation characteristics, and this should be kept in mind when selecting an inductor. FILITERED OUTPUT VOLTAGE HORIZONTAL TIME BASE: 10µsec/DIV Figure 7. 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 (20µH, 100µF), that can be added to the output (see Figure 16) 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 7 shows the difference between filtered and unfiltered output waveforms of the regulator shown in Figure 16. 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. GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS Output Voltage Ripple and Transients Source of the Output Ripple Since the TC2575 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. Heatsinking and Thermal Considerations The Through-Hole-Package TO-220 The TC2575 is available in a 5-Pin TO-220 package. There are many applications that require no heatsink to keep the TC2575 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 heat sinking, 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 7). 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 TC2575-1 3/13/00 15 1.0A Step-Down Switching Regulator TC2575 Thermal Analysis and Design The following procedure must be performed to determine whether or not a heatsink will be required.

TJ (max) – maximum allowed junction temperature (125°C for the TC2575). 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 8. Inverting Buck-Boost Regulator Using the TC2575 (12V) Develops –12V @ 0.35A The dynamic switching losses during turn–on and turn– off can be neglected if a proper type catch diode is used. 4. ΘJC – package thermal resistance junction–case. Packages (Free–Standing) For a free–standing application when no heatsink is used, the junction temperature can be determined by the following expression: 5. Θ JA – package thermal resistance junction– ambient. (Refer to Absolute Maximum Ratings on this data sheet or ΘJC and ΘJA values). TJ = (ΘJA ) (PD ) + TA where (ΘJA )(PD ) represents the junction temperature rise caused by the dissipated power and TA is the maximum ambient temperature. The following formula is to calculate the approximate total power dissipated by the TC2575: PD = (VIN x IQ ) + d x ILOAD x VSAT Some Aspects That can Influence Thermal Design where d is the duty cycle and for buck converter d= 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. tON VOUT = T VIN IQ (quiescent current) and VSAT can be found in the TC2575 data sheet, VIN is minimum input voltage applied, VOUT is the regulator output voltage, ILOAD is the load current. TC2575-1 3/13/00 16 1.0A Step-Down Switching Regulator TC2575 ADDITIONAL APPLICATIONS Inverting Regulator select an inductor with an appropriate current rating, the inductor peak current has to be calculated. An inverting buck–boost regulator using the TC2575 (12V) is shown in Figure 8. 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 TC2575 (12V) is used to generate a 12V output. The maximum input voltage in this case cannot exceed 28V 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 40V. This circuit configuration is able to deliver approximately 0.35A to the output when the input voltage is 12V or higher. At lighter loads the minimum input voltage required drops to approximately 4.7V, 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 1.5A. Such an amount of input start-up current is needed for at least 2.0msec 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. 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. The following formula is used to obtain the peak inductor current: IPEAK ≈ where tON ≈ ILOAD (VIN – IVOUTI) VIN x tON + VIN 2L1 IVOUTI VIN + IVOUTI 1.0 , and fOSC = 52kHz. fOSC Under normal continuous inductor current operating conditions, the worst case occurs when VIN is minimal. Note that the voltage appearing across the regulator is the absolute sum of the input and output voltage, and must not exceed 40V. 12 to 25V Unregulated DC Input CIN 100µF /50V Feedback L1 4 Output 100µH +VIN TC2575 (12V) 1 C1 0.1µF 2 5 R1 47k ON/OFF 3 D1 1N5819 GND COUT 1800µF/16V R2 47k –12V @ 0.35A Regulated Output Figure 9. Inverting Buck-Boost Regulator with Delayed Startup It has been already mentioned above, that in some situations, the delayed startup or the undervoltge lockout features could be very useful. A delayed startup circuit applied to a buck-boost converter is shown in Figure 9. Figure 15 in the "Undervoltage Lockout" section describes an undervoltage lockout feature for the same converter topology. +VIN +VIN TC2575 1 Design Recommendations: CIN R1 100µF 47 k 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 what 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 68µH and 220 µH.

Inverting Buck-Boost Regulator Shutdown Circuit Using an Optocoupler 17 1.0A Step-Down Switching Regulator TC2575 With the inverting configuration, the use of the ON/OFF pin requires some level shifting techniques. This is caused by the fact, that the ground pin of the converter IC is no longer at ground. Now, the ON/OFF pin threshold voltage (1.4V approximately) has to be related to the negative output voltage level. There are many different possible shutdown methods, two of them are shown in Figures 10 and 11. +V 0 Off 4 +VIN 1 CIN 100µF/ 50V 5 GND 2 ON/OFF L1 VIN R2 5.6 k Unregulated DC Input –VIN = –5.0V to –12V +VIN 1 TC2575 CIN 100µF Q1 2N3906 150µH D1 1N5819 Regulated Output VOUT = –12V Load Current from 200mA for VIN = –5.2V to 500mA for VIN –7.0V Figure 12. Negative Boost Regulator Design Recommendations 5 ON/OFF 3 R1 12k GND The same design rules as for the previous inverting buck–boost converter can be applied. The output capacitor COUT must be chosen larger than what 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 any 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. –VOUT NOTE: This picture does not show the complete circuit. Figure 11. Inverting Buck-Boost Regulator Shutdown Circuit Using a PNP Transistor Negative Boost Regulator This example is a variation of the buck–boost topology and it is called 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 12 shows the negative boost configuration. The input voltage in this application ranges from –5.0 to –12V and provides a regulated –12V output. If the input voltage is greater than –12V, the output will rise above –12 V accordingly, but will not damage the regulator. TC2575-1 3/13/00 Output 3 COUT 1000µF/16V Feedback Shutdown Input On +VIN TC2575 (12V) Delayed Startup There are some applications, like the inverting regulator already mentioned above, which require a higher amount of start-up current. In such cases, if the input power source is limited, this delayed start-up feature becomes very useful. To provide a time delay between the time when the input voltage is applied and the time when the output voltage comes up, the circuit in Figure 13 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. It reduces the power supply noise sensitivity, and also limits the capacitor C1 discharge current, but its use is not mandatory. When a high 50Hz or 60Hz (100Hz or 120Hz respectively) ripple voltage exists, a long delay time can cause some problems by coupling the ripple into the ON/OFF pin, the regulator could be switched periodically on and off with the line (or double) frequency. 18 1.0A Step-Down Switching Regulator TC2575 Adjustable Output, Low-Ripple Power Supply +VIN +VIN C1 0.1 µF A 1.0A output current capability power supply that features an adjustable output voltage is shown in Figure 16.
