DESCRIPTION/ORDERING INFORMATION
The TL3577 series are easy-to-use devices that incorporate all the active circuitry required to implement either
step-up (boost), flyback, forward converter, or SEPIC converter switching regulators. The internal 3-A 65-V
switch allows the TL3577 to provide an output voltage of up to 60 V as a simple boost regulator; higher output
voltages can be achieved with the TL3577 configured as a flyback or forward converter.
Requiring few external components, The TL3577 features a wide input voltage range of 3 V to 40 V and offers
an adjustable output voltage. Basic protection features include undervoltage lockout, thermal protection, and soft
start, which is provided to reduce input current during startup. Current-mode control provides cycle-by-cycle
current limiting, as well as faster line and load regulation. The internal 100-kHz oscillator allows for use of
smaller magnetics and filter components, when compared with similar regulators running at 52 kHz. A standard
series of inductors and capacitors optimized for use with these regulators is available from several
manufacturers and are listed in this data sheet.
The TL3577 is characterized for operation over the virtual junction temperature range of –40°C to 125°C.

APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued)
Step-Up (Boost) Regulator
Figure 2 shows a step-up switching regulator utilizing the TL3577. The regulator produces an output voltage
higher than the input voltage. The TL3577 turns its switch on and off at a fixed frequency of 100 kHz, thus
storing energy in the inductor (L). When the NPN switch is on, the inductor current is charged at a rate of VIN/L.
When the switch is off, the voltage at the SWITCH terminal of the inductor rises above VIN, discharging the
stored current through the output diode (D) into the output capacitor (COUT) at a rate of (VOUT – VIN)/L. The
energy stored in the inductor is thus transferred to the output. The output voltage is controlled by the amount of
energy transferred, which is controlled by modulating the peak inductor current. This modulation is accomplished
by feeding a portion of the output voltage to an error amplifier that amplifies the difference between the feedback
voltage and an internal 1.23-V precision reference voltage. The output of the error amplifier is compared to a
voltage that is proportional to the switch current or the inductor current during the switch-on time. A comparator
terminates the switch-on time when the two voltages are equal and, thus, controls the peak switch current to
maintain a constant output voltage. Figure 5 shows voltage and current waveforms for the circuit. Formulas for
calculation are shown in Table 1.

First, determine if the TL3577 can provide these values of VOUT and ILOAD(max) when operating with the minimum
value of VIN. The upper limits for VOUT and ILOAD(max) are given by the following equations.
VOUT ≤ 60 V and
VOUT ≤ 10 × VIN
ILOAD(max) ≤ (2.1 A × VIN(min))/VOUT
These limits must be greater than or equal to the values specified in this application.
1. Output Voltage Section
Resistors R1 and R2 are used to select the desired output voltage. These resistors form a voltage divider and
present a portion of the output voltage to the error amplifier, which compares it to an internal 1.23-V reference.
Select R1 and R2 such that:
R1/R2 = (VOUT/1.23 V) – 1
2. Inductor Selection (L)
A. Preliminary Calculations
To select the inductor, the calculation of the following three parameters is necessary:
Dmax, the maximum switch duty cycle (0 ≤ D ≤ 0.9):
Dmax = VOUT + VF – VIN(min)/VOUT + VF – 0.6 V
where, typically, VF = 0.5 V for Schottky diodes and VF = 0.8 V for fast-recovery diodes.
E • T, the product of volts • time that charges the inductor:
E • T = Dmax × (VIN(min) – 0.6V)106/100,000 Hz (Vµs)
IIND,DC, the average inductor current under full load:
IIND,DC = (1.05 × ILOAD(max))/(1 – Dmax)

SLVS633 – OCTOBER 2006
B. Identify Inductor Value
1. From Figure 6, identify the inductor code for the region indicated by the intersection of E • T and IIND,DC. This
code gives the inductor value in microhenries. The L or H prefix signifies whether the inductor is rated for a
maximum E • T of 90 Vµs (L) or 250 Vµs (H).
2. If D < 0.85, go to step C. If D ≥ 0.85, calculate the minimum inductance needed to ensure the switching
regulator’s stability:
If Lmin is smaller than the inductor values found in step B1, go on to step C. Otherwise, the inductor value
found in step 1, above, is too low; an appropriate inductor code should be obtained from Figure 6 as follows:
a. Find the lowest-value inductor that is greater than Lmin.
b. Find where E • T intersects this inductor value to determine if it has an L or H prefix. If E • T intersects
both the L and H regions, select the inductor with an H prefix.
C. Inductor Selection
Select an inductor from Table 2 which cross references the inductor codes to the part numbers of the three
different manufacturers. The inductors listed in Table 2 have the following characteristics:
AIE (ferrite, pot-core inductors): Benefits of this type are low electromagnetic interference (EMI), small
physical size, and very low power dissipation (core loss).
Pulse (powdered iron, toroid core inductors): Benefits are low EMI and ability to withstand E • T and peak
current above rated value better than ferrite cores.
Renco (ferrite, bobbin-core inductors): Benefits are low cost and best ability to withstand E • T and peak
current above rated value. Be aware that these inductors generate more EMI than the other types, and this
may interfere with signals sensitive to noise.

This chart assumes that the inductor ripple current inductor is approximately 20% to 30% of the average inductor
current (when the regulator is under full load). Greater ripple current causes higher peak switch currents and greater
output ripple voltage. Lower ripple current is achieved with larger value inductors. The factor of 20% to 30% is
chosen as a convenient balance between the two extremes.

3. Compensation Network (RC, CC) and Output Capacitor (COUT) Selection
The compensation network consists of resistor RC and capacitor CC, which form a simple pole-zero network and
stabilize the regulator. The values of RC and CC depend upon the voltage gain of the regulator, ILOAD(max), the
inductor L, and output capacitance COUT. A procedure to calculate and select the values for RC, CC, and COUT
that ensures stability is described below. It should be noted, however, that this may not result in optimum
compensation. To guarantee optimum compensation, a standard procedure for testing loop stability is
recommended, such as measuring VOUT transient responses to pulsing ILOAD.
A. Calculate the maximum value for RC.
RC ≤ (750 × ILOAD(max) × VOUT2)/VIN(min)2
Select a resistor less than or equal to this value, not to exceed 3 kΩ.
B. Calculate the minimum value for COUT using the following two equations.
COUT ≥ (0.19 × L × RC × ILOAD(max))/(VIN(min) × VOUT) and
COUT ≥ (VIN(min) × RC × (VIN(min) + (3.74 × 105 × L))/(487,800 × VOUT3)
The larger of these two values is the minimum value that ensures stability.

C. Calculate the minimum value of CC.
CC ≥ 58.5 × VOUT2 × COUT × RC2 × VIN(min)
The compensation capacitor also is used in the soft-start function of the regulator. When the input voltage is
applied to the part, the switch duty cycle is increased slowly at a rate defined by the compensation capacitor and
the soft-start current, thus eliminating high input currents. Without the soft-start circuitry, the switch duty cycle
would instantly rise to about 90% and draw large currents from the input supply. For proper soft starting, the
value for CC should be equal to or greater than 0.22 µF.
Table 3 lists several types of aluminum electrolytic capacitors that could be used for the output filter. Use the
following parameters to select the capacitor:
Working Voltage (WVDC): Choose a capacitor with a working voltage at least 20% higher than the regulator
output voltage.
Ripple Current: This is the maximum RMS value of current that charges the capacitor during each switching
cycle. For step-up and flyback regulators, the formula for ripple current is:
IRIPPLE(rms) = (ILOAD(max) × Dmax)/(1 – Dmax)
Choose a capacitor that is rated at least 50% higher than this value at 100 kHz.
Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR): This is the primary cause of output ripple voltage, and it also affects the
values of RC and CC needed to stabilize the regulator. As a result, the preceding calculations for CC and RC are
only valid if the ESR does not exceed the maximum value specified by the following equations.
ESR ≤ (0.01 × 15 V)/IRIPPLE(P-P) and ≤ (8.7 × 10-3 × VIN)/ILOAD(max) where
IRIPPLE(P-P) = (1.15 × ILOAD(max))/(1 – Dmax)
Select a capacitor with an ESR, at 100 kHz, that is less than or equal to the lower value calculated. Most
electrolytic capacitors specify ESR at 120 kHz, which is 15% to 30% higher than at 100 kHz. Also, note that
ESR increases by a factor of 2 when operating at –20°C.
In general, low values of ESR are achieved by using large-value capacitors (C ≥ 470 µF) and capacitors with
high WVDC, or by paralleling smaller-value capacitors.
4. Input Capacitor Selection (CIN)
To reduce noise on the supply voltage caused by the switching action of a step-up regulator (ripple current
noise), VIN should be bypassed to ground. A good quality 0.1-µF capacitor with low ESR should provide
sufficient decoupling. If the TL3577 is located far from the supply-source filter capacitors, an additional
electrolytic (47 µF, for example) is required.

5. Output Diode Selection (D)
In the step-up regulator, the switching diode must withstand a reverse voltage and be able to conduct the peak
output current of the TL3577. Therefore, a suitable diode must have a minimum reverse breakdown voltage
greater than the circuit output voltage and should also be rated for average and peak current greater than
ILOAD(max) and ID(pk). Because of their low forward-voltage drop (and higher regulator efficiencies), Schottky
barrier diodes often are used in switching regulators. Refer to Table 4 for recommended part numbers and
voltage ratings of 1-A and 3-A diodes.
