NSC LM2585S-3.3 Simple switcherâ® 3a flyback regulator Datasheet

LM2585
SIMPLE SWITCHER® 3A Flyback Regulator
General Description
Features
The LM2585 series of regulators are monolithic integrated
circuits specifically designed for flyback, step-up (boost), and
forward converter applications. The device is available in 4
different output voltage versions: 3.3V, 5.0V, 12V, and adjustable.
Requiring a minimum number of external components, these
regulators are cost effective, and simple to use. Included in
the datasheet are typical circuits of boost and flyback regulators. Also listed are selector guides for diodes and capacitors
and a family of standard inductors and flyback transformers
designed to work with these switching regulators.
The power switch is a 3.0A NPN device that can stand-off
65V. Protecting the power switch are current and thermal limiting circuits, and an undervoltage lockout circuit. This IC
contains a 100 kHz fixed-frequency internal oscillator that
permits the use of small magnetics. Other features include
soft start mode to reduce in-rush current during start up, current mode control for improved rejection of input voltage and
output load transients and cycle-by-cycle current limiting. An
output voltage tolerance of ±4%, within specified input voltages and output load conditions, is guaranteed for the power
supply system.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating ratings indicate conditions the device is intended
to be functional, but device parameter specifications may not be guaranteed under these conditions. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the
Electrical Characteristics.
Note 2: Note that switch current and output current are not identical in a step-up regulator. Output current cannot be internally limited when the LM2585 is used
as a step-up regulator. To prevent damage to the switch, the output current must be externally limited to 3A. However, output current is internally limited when
the LM2585 is used as a flyback regulator (see the Application Hints section for more information).
Note 3: The junction temperature of the device (TJ) is a function of the ambient temperature (TA), the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA), and the power
dissipation of the device (PD). A thermal shutdown will occur if the temperature exceeds the maximum junction temperature of the device: PD × θJA + TA(MAX) ≥
TJ(MAX). For a safe thermal design, check that the maximum power dissipated by the device is less than: PD ≤ [TJ(MAX) − TA(MAX))]/θJA. When calculating the
maximum allowable power dissipation, derate the maximum junction temperature—this ensures a margin of safety in the thermal design.
Note 4: External components such as the diode, inductor, input and output capacitors can affect switching regulator performance. When the LM2585 is used as
shown in Figures Figure 2 and Figure 3 , system performance will be as specified by the system parameters.
Note 5: All room temperature limits are 100% production tested, and all limits at temperature extremes are guaranteed via correlation using standard Statistical
Quality Control (SQC) methods.
Note 6: A 1.0 MΩ resistor is connected to the compensation pin (which is the error amplifier output) to ensure accuracy in measuring AVOL.
Note 7: To measure this parameter, the feedback voltage is set to a low value, depending on the output version of the device, to force the error amplifier output
high. Adj: VFB = 1.05V; 3.3V: VFB = 2.81V; 5.0V: VFB = 4.25V; 12V: VFB = 10.20V.
Note 8: To measure this parameter, the feedback voltage is set to a high value, depending on the output version of the device, to force the error amplifier output
low. Adj: VFB = 1.41V; 3.3V: VFB = 3.80V; 5.0V: VFB = 5.75V; 12V: VFB = 13.80V.
Note 9: To measure the worst-case error amplifier output current, the LM2585 is tested with the feedback voltage set to its low value (specified in (Note
at its high value (specified in (Note 8) .

the TO-263 package) of 1 oz. (0.0014 in. thick) copper.
Note 13: Junction to ambient thermal resistance for the 5 lead TO-263 mounted horizontally against a PC board area of 0.4896 square inches (3.6 times the area
of the TO-263 package) of 1 oz. (0.0014 in. thick) copper.
Note 14: Junction to ambient thermal resistance for the 5 lead TO-263 mounted horizontally against a PC board copper area of 1.0064 square inches (7.4 times
the area of the TO-263 package) of 1 oz. (0.0014 in. thick) copper. Additional copper area will reduce thermal resistance further. See the thermal model in

The LM2585 is ideally suited for use in the flyback regulator
topology. The flyback regulator can produce a single output
voltage, such as the one shown in Figure 4, or multiple output
voltages. In Figure 4, the flyback regulator generates an output voltage that is inside the range of the input voltage. This
feature is unique to flyback regulators and cannot be duplicated with buck or boost regulators.
The operation of a flyback regulator is as follows (refer to
Figure 4): when the switch is on, current flows through the
primary winding of the transformer, T1, storing energy in the
magnetic field of the transformer. Note that the primary and
secondary windings are out of phase, so no current flows
through the secondary when current flows through the prima-
1251521
As shown in Figure 4, the LM2585 can be used as a flyback regulator by using a minimum number of external components. The switching waveforms of this
regulator are shown in Figure 5. Typical Performance Characteristics observed during the operation of this circuit are shown in Figure 6.
FIGURE 4. 12V Flyback Regulator Design Example

LM2585
ry. When the switch turns off, the magnetic field collapses,
reversing the voltage polarity of the primary and secondary
windings. Now rectifier D1 is forward biased and current flows
through it, releasing the energy stored in the transformer. This
produces voltage at the output.
The output voltage is controlled by modulating the peak
switch current. This is done by feeding back a portion of the
output voltage to the error amp, which amplifies the difference
between the feedback voltage and a 1.230V reference. The
error amp output voltage is compared to a ramp voltage proportional to the switch current (i.e., inductor current during the
switch on time). The comparator terminates the switch on time
when the two voltages are equal, thereby controlling the peak
switch current to maintain a constant output voltage.

Step-Up (Boost) Regulator
Operation
Figure 30 shows the LM2585 used as a step-up (boost) regulator. This is a switching regulator that produces an output
voltage greater than the input supply voltage.
A brief explanation of how the LM2585 Boost Regulator works
is as follows (refer to Figure 30). When the NPN switch turns
on, the inductor current ramps up at the rate of VIN/L, storing
energy in the inductor. When the switch turns off, the lower
end of the inductor flies above VIN, discharging its current
through diode (D) into the output capacitor (COUT) at a rate of
(VOUT − VIN)/L. Thus, energy stored in the inductor during the
switch on time is transferred to the output during the switch
off time. The output voltage is controlled by adjusting the peak
switch current, as described in the flyback regulator section.

By adding a small number of external components (as shown in Figure 30), the LM2585 can be used to produce a regulated output voltage that is greater than
the applied input voltage. The switching waveforms observed during the operation of this circuit are shown in Figure 31. Typical performance of this regulator is
shown in Figure 32.

*The LM2585 will require a heat sink in these applications. The size of the heat sink will depend on the maximum ambient temperature. To calculate the thermal
resistance of the IC and the size of the heat sink needed, see the “Heat Sink/Thermal Considerations” section in the Application Hints.

input, through the inductor and the diode, to the output, bypassing the switch. The current limit of the switch does not
limit the output current for the entire circuit. To protect the load
and prevent damage to the switch, the current must be externally limited, either by the input supply or at the output with
an external current limit circuit. The external limit should be
set to the maximum switch current of the device, which is 3A.
In a flyback regulator application (Figure 39), using the standard transformers, the LM2585 will survive a short circuit to
the main output. When the output voltage drops to 80% of its
nominal value, the frequency will drop to 25 kHz. With a lower
frequency, off times are larger. With the longer off times, the
transformer can release all of its stored energy before the
switch turns back on. Hence, the switch turns on initially with
zero current at its collector. In this condition, the switch current
limit will limit the peak current, saving the device.
PROGRAMMING OUTPUT VOLTAGE
(SELECTING R1 AND R2)
Referring to the adjustable regulator in Figure 38, the output
voltage is programmed by the resistors R1 and R2 by the following formula:
VOUT = VREF (1 + R1/R2)
where VREF = 1.23V
Resistors R1 and R2 divide the output voltage down so that it
can be compared with the 1.23V internal reference. With R2
between 1k and 5k, R1 is:
R1 = R2 (VOUT/VREF − 1)
where VREF = 1.23V
For best temperature coefficient and stability with time, use
1% metal film resistors.
SHORT CIRCUIT CONDITION
Due to the inherent nature of boost regulators, when the output is shorted (see Figure 38), current flows directly from the

OUTPUT VOLTAGE LIMITATIONS
The maximum output voltage of a boost regulator is the maximum switch voltage minus a diode drop. In a flyback regulator, the maximum output voltage is determined by the turns
ratio, N, and the duty cycle, D, by the equation:
VOUT ≈ N × VIN × D/(1 − D)
The duty cycle of a flyback regulator is determined by the following equation:
Theoretically, the maximum output voltage can be as large as
desired—just keep increasing the turns ratio of the transformer. However, there exists some physical limitations that
prevent the turns ratio, and thus the output voltage, from increasing to infinity. The physical limitations are capacitances
and inductances in the LM2585 switch, the output diode(s),
and the transformer—such as reverse recovery time of the
output diode (mentioned above).
SWITCH VOLTAGE LIMITS
In a flyback regulator, the maximum steady-state voltage appearing at the switch, when it is off, is set by the transformer
turns ratio, N, the output voltage, VOUT, and the maximum input voltage, VIN (Max):
VSW(OFF) = VIN (Max) + (VOUT +VF)/N
where VF is the forward biased voltage of the output diode,
and is 0.5V for Schottky diodes and 0.8V for ultra-fast recovery diodes (typically). In certain circuits, there exists a voltage
spike, VLL, superimposed on top of the steady-state voltage
(see Figure 5, waveform A). Usually, this voltage spike is
caused by the transformer leakage inductance and/or the
output rectifier recovery time. To “clamp” the voltage at the
switch from exceeding its maximum value, a transient suppressor in series with a diode is inserted across the transformer primary (as shown in the circuit on the front page and
other flyback regulator circuits throughout the datasheet). The
schematic in Figure 39 shows another method of clamping
the switch voltage. A single voltage transient suppressor (the
SA51A) is inserted at the switch pin. This method clamps the
total voltage across the switch, not just the voltage across the
primary.
If poor circuit layout techniques are used (see the “Circuit
Layout Guideline” section), negative voltage transients may
appear on the Switch pin (pin 4). Applying a negative voltage
(with respect to the IC's ground) to any monolithic IC pin
causes erratic and unpredictable operation of that IC. This
holds true for the LM2585 IC as well. When used in a flyback
regulator, the voltage at the Switch pin (pin 4) can go negative
when the switch turns on. The “ringing” voltage at the switch
pin is caused by the output diode capacitance and the transformer leakage inductance forming a resonant circuit at the
secondary(ies). The resonant circuit generates the “ringing”
voltage, which gets reflected back through the transformer to
the switch pin. There are two common methods to avoid this
problem. One is to add an RC snubber around the output rectifier(s), as in Figure 39. The values of the resistor and the
capacitor must be chosen so that the voltage at the Switch
pin does not drop below −0.4V. The resistor may range in
value between 10Ω and 1 kΩ, and the capacitor will vary from
0.001 μF to 0.1 μF. Adding a snubber will (slightly) reduce the
efficiency of the overall circuit.
The other method to reduce or eliminate the “ringing” is to
insert a Schottky diode clamp between pins 4 and 3 (ground),
also shown in Figure 39. This prevents the voltage at pin 4
from dropping below −0.4V. The reverse voltage rating of the
diode must be greater than the switch off voltage.
1251557
FIGURE 40. Input Line Filter
NOISY INPUT LINE CONDITION
A small, low-pass RC filter should be used at the input pin of
the LM2585 if the input voltage has an unusual large amount
of transient noise, such as with an input switch that bounces.
The circuit in Figure 40 demonstrates the layout of the filter,
with the capacitor placed from the input pin to ground and the
resistor placed between the input supply and the input pin.
Note that the values of RIN and CIN shown in the schematic
are good enough for most applications, but some readjusting
might be required for a particular application. If efficiency is a
major concern, replace the resistor with a small inductor (say
10 μH and rated at 100 mA).
STABILITY
All current-mode controlled regulators can suffer from an instability, known as subharmonic oscillation, if they operate
with a duty cycle above 50%. To eliminate subharmonic oscillations, a minimum value of inductance is required to ensure stability for all boost and flyback regulators. The
minimum inductance is given by:
where VSAT is the switch saturation voltage and can be found
in the Characteristic Curves.

LM2585
FLYBACK REGULATOR INPUT CAPACITORS
A flyback regulator draws discontinuous pulses of current
from the input supply. Therefore, there are two input capacitors needed in a flyback regulator; one for energy storage and
one for filtering (see Figure 39). Both are required due to the
inherent operation of a flyback regulator. To keep a stable or
constant voltage supply to the LM2585, a storage capacitor
(≥100 μF) is required. If the input source is a rectified DC
supply and/or the application has a wide temperature range,
the required rms current rating of the capacitor might be very
large. This means a larger value of capacitance or a higher
voltage rating will be needed of the input capacitor. The storage capacitor will also attenuate noise which may interfere
with other circuits connected to the same input supply voltage.
In addition, a small bypass capacitor is required due to the
noise generated by the input current pulses. To eliminate the
noise, insert a 1.0 μF ceramic capacitor between VIN and
ground as close as possible to the device.

FIGURE 41. Circuit Board Layout
CIRCUIT LAYOUT GUIDELINES
As in any switching regulator, layout is very important. Rapidly
switching currents associated with wiring inductance generate voltage transients which can cause problems. For minimal
inductance and ground loops, keep the length of the leads
and traces as short as possible. Use single point grounding
or ground plane construction for best results. Separate the
signal grounds from the power grounds (as indicated in Figure
41). When using the Adjustable version, physically locate the
programming resistors as near the regulator IC as possible,
to keep the sensitive feedback wiring short.
where VF is the forward biased voltage of the diode and is
typically 0.5V for Schottky diodes and 0.8V for fast recovery
diodes. VSAT is the switch saturation voltage and can be found
in the Characteristic Curves.
When no heat sink is used, the junction temperature rise is:
HEAT SINK/THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
In many cases, no heat sink is required to keep the LM2585
junction temperature within the allowed operating range. For
each application, to determine whether or not a heat sink will
be required, the following must be identified:
1) Maximum ambient temperature (in the application).
2) Maximum regulator power dissipation (in the application).
3) Maximum allowed junction temperature (125°C for the
LM2585). For a safe, conservative design, a temperature approximately 15°C cooler than the maximum junction temperature should be selected (110°C).
4) LM2585 package thermal resistances θJA and θJC (given
in the Electrical Characteristics).
Total power dissipated (PD) by the LM2585 can be estimated
as follows:
ΔTJ = PD × θJA.
Adding the junction temperature rise to the maximum ambient
temperature gives the actual operating junction temperature:
TJ = ΔTJ + TA.
If the operating junction temperature exceeds the maximum
junction temperatue in item 3 above, then a heat sink is required. When using a heat sink, the junction temperature rise
can be determined by the following:
ΔTJ = PD × (θJC + θInterface + θHeat Sink)
Again, the operating junction temperature will be:
TJ = ΔTJ + TA
As before, if the maximum junction temperature is exceeded,
a larger heat sink is required (one that has a lower thermal
resistance).
Included in the Switchers Made Simple design software is a
more precise (non-linear) thermal model that can be used to
determine junction temperature with different input-output parameters or different component values. It can also calculate
the heat sink thermal resistance required to maintain the regulator junction temperature below the maximum operating
temperature.

software to be used with the Simple Switcher line of switching
regulators. Switchers Made Simple is available on a 3½″
diskette for IBM compatible computers from a National Semiconductor sales office in your area or the National Semiconductor Customer Response Center (1-800-272-9959).
VIN is the minimum input voltage, VOUT is the output voltage,
N is the transformer turns ratio, D is the duty cycle, and
ILOAD is the maximum load current (and ∑ILOAD is the sum of
the maximum load currents for multiple-output flyback regulators). The duty cycle is given by:
