LM1575,LM2575,LM2575HV LM1575/LM2575/LM2575HV SIMPLE SWITCHER 1A Step-Down Voltage Regulator Literature Number: SNVS106D LM1575/LM2575/LM2575HV SIMPLE SWITCHER® 1A Step-Down Voltage Regulator General Description Features The LM2575 series of regulators are monolithic integrated circuits that provide all the active functions for a step-down (buck) switching regulator, capable of driving a 1A load with excellent line and load regulation. These devices are available in fixed output voltages of 3.3V, 5V, 12V, 15V, and an adjustable output version. Requiring a minimum number of external components, these regulators are simple to use and include internal frequency compensation and a fixed-frequency oscillator. The LM2575 series offers a high-efficiency replacement for popular three-terminal linear regulators. It substantially reduces the size of the heat sink, and in many cases no heat sink is required. A standard series of inductors optimized for use with the LM2575 are available from several different manufacturers. This feature greatly simplifies the design of switch-mode power supplies. Other features include a guaranteed ±4% tolerance on output voltage within specified input voltages and output load conditions, and ±10% on the oscillator frequency. External shutdown is included, featuring 50 μA (typical) standby current. The output switch includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting, as well as thermal shutdown for full protection under fault conditions. ■ 3.3V, 5V, 12V, 15V, and adjustable output versions ■ Adjustable version output voltage range, ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ 1.23V to 37V (57V for HV version) ±4% max over line and load conditions Guaranteed 1A output current Wide input voltage range, 40V up to 60V for HV version Requires only 4 external components 52 kHz fixed frequency internal oscillator TTL shutdown capability, low power standby mode High efficiency Uses readily available standard inductors Thermal shutdown and current limit protection P+ Product Enhancement tested Applications ■ ■ ■ ■ Simple high-efficiency step-down (buck) regulator Efficient pre-regulator for linear regulators On-card switching regulators Positive to negative converter (Buck-Boost) Typical Application (Fixed Output Voltage Versions) 1147501 Note: Pin numbers are for the TO-220 package.

Note 4: External components such as the catch diode, inductor, input and output capacitors can affect switching regulator system performance. When the LM1575/ LM2575 is used as shown in the Figure 2 test circuit, system performance will be as shown in system parameters section of Electrical Characteristics. Note 5: Output (pin 2) sourcing current. No diode, inductor or capacitor connected to output pin. Note 6: Feedback (pin 4) removed from output and connected to 0V. Note 7: Feedback (pin 4) removed from output and connected to +12V for the Adjustable, 3.3V, and 5V versions, and +25V for the 12V and 15V versions, to force the output transistor OFF. Note 8: VIN = 40V (60V for the high voltage version). Note 9: Junction to ambient thermal resistance (no external heat sink) for the 5 lead TO-220 package mounted vertically, with ½ inch leads in a socket, or on a PC board with minimum copper area. Note 10: Junction to ambient thermal resistance (no external heat sink) for the 5 lead TO-220 package mounted vertically, with ½ inch leads soldered to a PC board containing approximately 4 square inches of copper area surrounding the leads. Note 11: Junction to ambient thermal resistance with approximately 1 square inch of pc board copper surrounding the leads. Additional copper area will lower thermal resistance further. See thermal model in Switchers made Simple software. Note 12: If the TO-263 package is used, the thermal resistance can be reduced by increasing the PC board copper area thermally connected to the package: Using 0.5 square inches of copper area, θJA is 50°C/W; with 1 square inch of copper area, θJA is 37°C/W; and with 1.6 or more square inches of copper area, θJA is 32°C/W. Note 13: 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 power dissipation of the IC by lowering the minimum duty cycle from 5% down to approximately 2%.

When using the Adjustable version, physically locate the programming resistors near the regulator, to keep the sensitive feedback wiring short. Test Circuit and 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.

FIGURE 2. www.national.com 12 PROCEDURE (Fixed Output Voltage Versions) Given: VOUT = Regulated Output Voltage (3.3V, 5V, 12V, or 15V) VIN(Max) = Maximum Input Voltage ILOAD(Max) = Maximum Load Current 1. Inductor Selection (L1) A. Select the correct Inductor value selection guide from Figures 3, 4, 5, 6 (Output voltages of 3.3V, 5V, 12V or 15V respectively). For other output voltages, see the design procedure for the adjustable version. B. From the inductor value selection guide, identify the inductance region intersected by VIN(Max) and ILOAD(Max), and note the inductor code for that region. C. Identify the inductor value from the inductor code, and select an appropriate inductor from the table shown in Figure 9. Part numbers are listed for three inductor manufacturers. The inductor chosen must be rated for operation at the LM2575 switching frequency (52 kHz) and for a current rating of 1.15 × ILOAD. For additional inductor information, see the inductor section in the Application Hints section of this data sheet. 2. Output Capacitor Selection (COUT) A. The value of the output capacitor together with the inductor defines the dominate pole-pair of the switching regulator loop. For stable operation and an acceptable output ripple voltage, (approximately 1% of the output voltage) a value between 100 μF and 470 μF is recommended. B. The capacitor's voltage rating should be at least 1.5 times greater than the output voltage. For a 5V regulator, a rating of at least 8V is appropriate, and a 10V or 15V rating is recommended. Higher voltage electrolytic capacitors generally have lower ESR numbers, and for this reason it may be necessary to select a capacitor rated for a higher voltage than would normally be needed. 3. Catch Diode Selection (D1) A. The catch-diode current rating must be at least 1.2 times greater than the maximum load current. Also, if the power supply design must withstand a continuous output short, the diode should have a current rating equal to the maximum current limit of the LM2575. The most stressful condition for this diode is an overload or shorted output condition. B. The reverse voltage rating of the diode should be at least 1.25 times the maximum input voltage. 4. Input Capacitor (CIN) An aluminum or tantalum electrolytic bypass capacitor located close to the regulator is needed for stable operation. EXAMPLE (Fixed Output Voltage Versions) Given: VOUT = 5V VIN(Max) = 20V ILOAD(Max) = 0.8A 1. Inductor Selection (L1) A. Use the selection guide shown in Figure 4. B. From the selection guide, the inductance area intersected by the 20V line and 0.8A line is L330. C. Inductor value required is 330 μH. From the table in Figure 9, choose AIE 415-0926, Pulse Engineering PE-52627, or RL1952. 2. Output Capacitor Selection (COUT) A. COUT = 100 μF to 470 μF standard aluminum electrolytic. B. Capacitor voltage rating = 20V. 3. Catch Diode Selection (D1) A. For this example, a 1A current rating is adequate. B. Use a 30V 1N5818 or SR103 Schottky diode, or any of the suggested fast-recovery diodes shown in Figure 8. 4. Input Capacitor (CIN) A 47 μF, 25V aluminum electrolytic capacitor located near the input and ground pins provides sufficient bypassing. 13 www.national.com LM1575/LM2575/LM2575HV LM2575 Series Buck Regulator Design Procedure LM1575/LM2575/LM2575HV Inductor Value Selection Guides (For Continuous Mode Operation) 1147512 1147510 FIGURE 5.

(For best temperature coefficient and stability with time, use 1% metal film resistors) R2 = 1k (8.13 − 1) = 7.13k, closest 1% value is 7.15k 2. Inductor Selection (L1) A. Calculate the inductor Volt • microsecond constant, E • T (V • μs), from the following formula: 2. Inductor Selection (L1) A. Calculate E • T (V • μs) B. Use the E • T value from the previous formula and match it with the E • T number on the vertical axis of the Inductor Value Selection Guide shown in Figure 7. C. On the horizontal axis, select the maximum load current. D. Identify the inductance region intersected by the E • T value and the maximum load current value, and note the inductor code for that region. E. Identify the inductor value from the inductor code, and select an appropriate inductor from the table shown in Figure 9. Part numbers are listed for three inductor manufacturers. The inductor chosen must be rated for operation at the LM2575 switching frequency (52 kHz) and for a current rating of 1.15 × ILOAD. For additional inductor information, see the inductor section in the application hints section of this data sheet. 3. Output Capacitor Selection (COUT) A. The value of the output capacitor together with the inductor defines the dominate pole-pair of the switching regulator loop. For stable operation, the capacitor must satisfy the following requirement: B. E • T = 115 V • μs C. ILOAD(Max) = 1A D. Inductance Region = H470 E. Inductor Value = 470 μH Choose from AIE part #430-0634, Pulse Engineering part #PE-53118, or Renco part #RL-1961. 3. Output Capacitor Selection (COUT) A. However, for acceptable output ripple voltage select COUT ≥ 220 μF COUT = 220 μF electrolytic capacitor The above formula yields capacitor values between 10 μF and 2000 μF that will satisfy the loop requirements for stable operation. But to achieve an acceptable output ripple voltage, (approximately 1% of the output voltage) and transient response, the output capacitor may need to be several times larger than the above formula yields. B. The capacitor's voltage rating should be at last 1.5 times greater than the output voltage. For a 10V regulator, a rating of at least 15V or more is recommended. Higher voltage electrolytic capacitors generally have lower ESR numbers, and for this reason it may be necessary to select a capacitor rate for a higher voltage than would normally be needed.

Inductor Selection by Manufacturer's Part Number 17 www.national.com LM1575/LM2575/LM2575HV circuits, or can give incorrect scope readings because of induced voltages in the scope probe. The inductors listed in the selection chart include ferrite pot core construction for AIE, powdered iron toroid for Pulse Engineering, and ferrite bobbin core for Renco. An inductor should not be operated beyond its maximum rated current because it may saturate. When an inductor begins to saturate, the inductance decreases rapidly and the inductor begins to look mainly resistive (the DC resistance of the winding). This will cause the switch current to rise very rapidly. Different inductor types have different saturation characteristics, and this should be kept in mind when selecting an inductor. The inductor manufacturer's data sheets include current and energy limits to avoid inductor saturation. Application Hints INPUT CAPACITOR (CIN) To maintain stability, the regulator input pin must be bypassed with at least a 47 μF electrolytic capacitor. The capacitor's leads must be kept short, and located near the regulator. If the operating temperature range includes temperatures below −25°C, the input capacitor value may need to be larger. With most electrolytic capacitors, the capacitance value decreases and the ESR increases with lower temperatures and age. Paralleling a ceramic or solid tantalum capacitor will increase the regulator stability at cold temperatures. For maximum capacitor operating lifetime, the capacitor's RMS ripple current rating should be greater than INDUCTOR RIPPLE CURRENT When the switcher is operating in the continuous mode, the inductor current waveform ranges from a triangular to a sawtooth type of waveform (depending on the input voltage). For a given input voltage and output voltage, the peak-to-peak amplitude of this inductor current waveform remains constant. As the load current rises or falls, the entire sawtooth current waveform also rises or falls. The average DC value of this waveform is equal to the DC load current (in the buck regulator configuration). If the load current drops to a low enough level, the bottom of the sawtooth current waveform will reach zero, and the switcher will change to a discontinuous mode of operation. This is a perfectly acceptable mode of operation. Any buck switching regulator (no matter how large the inductor value is) will be forced to run discontinuous if the load current is light enough. INDUCTOR SELECTION All switching regulators have two basic modes of operation: continuous and discontinuous. The difference between the two types relates to the inductor current, whether it is flowing continuously, or if it drops to zero for a period of time in the normal switching cycle. Each mode has distinctively different operating characteristics, which can affect the regulator performance and requirements. The LM2575 (or any of the Simple Switcher family) can be used for both continuous and discontinuous modes of operation. The inductor value selection guides in Figure 3 through Figure 7 were designed for buck regulator designs of the continuous inductor current type. When using inductor values shown in the inductor selection guide, the peak-to-peak inductor ripple current will be approximately 20% to 30% of the maximum DC current. With relatively heavy load currents, the circuit operates in the continuous mode (inductor current always flowing), but under light load conditions, the circuit will be forced to the discontinuous mode (inductor current falls to zero for a period of time). This discontinuous mode of operation is perfectly acceptable. For light loads (less than approximately 200 mA) it may be desirable to operate the regulator in the discontinuous mode, primarily because of the lower inductor values required for the discontinuous mode. The selection guide chooses inductor values suitable for continuous mode operation, but if the inductor value chosen is prohibitively high, the designer should investigate the possibility of discontinuous operation. The computer design software Switchers Made Simple will provide all component values for discontinuous (as well as continuous) mode of operation. Inductors are available in different styles such as pot core, toriod, E-frame, bobbin core, etc., as well as different core materials, such as ferrites and powdered iron. The least expensive, the bobbin core type, consists of wire wrapped on a ferrite rod core. This type of construction makes for an inexpensive inductor, but since the magnetic flux is not completely contained within the core, it generates more electromagnetic interference (EMI). This EMI can cause problems in sensitive www.national.com OUTPUT CAPACITOR An output capacitor is required to filter the output voltage and is needed for loop stability. The capacitor should be located near the LM2575 using short pc board traces. Standard aluminum electrolytics are usually adequate, but low ESR types are recommended for low output ripple voltage and good stability. The ESR of a capacitor depends on many factors, some which are: the value, the voltage rating, physical size and the type of construction. In general, low value or low voltage (less than 12V) electrolytic capacitors usually have higher ESR numbers. The amount of output ripple voltage is primarily a function of the ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) of the output capacitor and the amplitude of the inductor ripple current (ΔIIND). See the section on inductor ripple current in Application Hints. The lower capacitor values (220 μF–680 μF) will allow typically 50 mV to 150 mV of output ripple voltage, while largervalue capacitors will reduce the ripple to approximately 20 mV to 50 mV. Output Ripple Voltage = (ΔIIND) (ESR of COUT) To further reduce the output ripple voltage, several standard electrolytic capacitors may be paralleled, or a higher-grade capacitor may be used. Such capacitors are often called “high-frequency,” “low-inductance,” or “low-ESR.” These will reduce the output ripple to 10 mV or 20 mV. However, when operating in the continuous mode, reducing the ESR below 0.05Ω can cause instability in the regulator. Tantalum capacitors can have a very low ESR, and should be carefully evaluated if it is the only output capacitor. Because of their good low temperature characteristics, a tantalum can 18 With the N or M packages, all the pins labeled ground, power ground, or signal ground should be soldered directly to wide printed circuit board copper traces. This assures both low inductance connections and good thermal properties. HEAT SINK/THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS In many cases, no heat sink is required to keep the LM2575 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: CATCH DIODE Buck regulators require a diode to provide a return path for the inductor current when the switch is off. This diode should be located close to the LM2575 using short leads and short printed circuit traces. Because of their fast switching speed and low forward voltage drop, Schottky diodes provide the best efficiency, especially in low output voltage switching regulators (less than 5V). FastRecovery, High-Efficiency, or Ultra-Fast Recovery diodes are also suitable, but some types with an abrupt turn-off characteristic may cause instability and EMI problems. A fast-recovery diode with soft recovery characteristics is a better choice. Standard 60 Hz diodes (e.g., 1N4001 or 1N5400, etc.) are also not suitable. See Figure 8 for Schottky and “soft” fastrecovery diode selection guide. 1. 2. 3. Maximum ambient temperature (in the application). Maximum regulator power dissipation (in application). Maximum allowed junction temperature (150°C for the LM1575 or 125°C for the LM2575). For a safe, conservative design, a temperature approximately 15°C cooler than the maximum temperature should be selected. 4. LM2575 package thermal resistances θJA and θJC. Total power dissipated by the LM2575 can be estimated as follows: PD = (VIN) (IQ) + (VO/VIN) (ILOAD) (VSAT) OUTPUT VOLTAGE RIPPLE AND TRANSIENTS The output voltage of a switching power supply will contain a sawtooth ripple voltage at the switcher frequency, typically about 1% of the output voltage, and may also contain short voltage spikes at the peaks of the sawtooth waveform. The output ripple voltage is due mainly to the inductor sawtooth ripple current multiplied by the ESR of the output capacitor. (See the inductor selection in the application hints.) The voltage spikes are present because of the fast switching action of the output switch, and the parasitic inductance of the output filter capacitor. To minimize these voltage spikes, special low inductance capacitors can be used, and their lead lengths must be kept short. Wiring inductance, stray capacitance, as well as the scope probe used to evaluate these transients, all contribute to the amplitude of these spikes. An additional small LC filter (20 μH & 100 μF) can be added to the output (as shown in Figure 15) to further reduce the amount of output ripple and transients. A 10 × reduction in output ripple voltage and transients is possible with this filter. where IQ (quiescent current) and VSAT can be found in the Characteristic Curves shown previously, VIN is the applied minimum input voltage, VO is the regulated output voltage, and ILOAD is the load current. The dynamic losses during turnon and turn-off are negligible if a Schottky type catch diode is used. When no heat sink is used, the junction temperature rise can be determined by the following: ΔTJ = (PD) (θJA) To arrive at the actual operating junction temperature, add the junction temperature rise to the maximum ambient temperature. TJ = ΔTJ + TA If the actual operating junction temperature is greater than the selected safe operating junction temperature determined in step 3, then a heat sink is required. When using a heat sink, the junction temperature rise can be determined by the following: FEEDBACK CONNECTION The LM2575 (fixed voltage versions) feedback pin must be wired to the output voltage point of the switching power supply. When using the adjustable version, physically locate both output voltage programming resistors near the LM2575 to avoid picking up unwanted noise. Avoid using resistors greater than 100 kΩ because of the increased chance of noise pickup. ΔTJ = (PD) (θJC + θinterface + θHeat sink) The operating junction temperature will be: TJ = TA + ΔTJ As above, if the actual operating junction temperature is greater than the selected safe operating junction temperature, then a larger heat sink is required (one that has a lower thermal resistance). When using the LM2575 in the plastic DIP (N) or surface mount (M) packages, several items about the thermal properties of the packages should be understood. The majority of the heat is conducted out of the package through the leads, with a minor portion through the plastic parts of the package. Since the lead frame is solid copper, heat from the die is readily conducted through the leads to the printed circuit board copper, which is acting as a heat sink. For best thermal performance, the ground pins and all the unconnected pins should be soldered to generous amounts of printed circuit board copper, such as a ground plane. Large areas of copper provide the best transfer of heat to the surrounding air. Copper on both sides of the board is also helpful in getting the heat away from the package, even if there is no direct copper contact between the two sides. Thermal resis- ON /OFF INPUT For normal operation, the ON /OFF pin should be grounded or driven with a low-level TTL voltage (typically below 1.6V). To put the regulator into standby mode, drive this pin with a high-level TTL or CMOS signal. The ON /OFF pin can be safely pulled up to +VIN without a resistor in series with it. The ON /OFF pin should not be left open. GROUNDING To maintain output voltage stability, the power ground connections must be low-impedance (see Figure 2). For the TO-3 style package, the case is ground. For the 5-lead TO-220 style package, both the tab and pin 3 are ground and either connection may be used, as they are both part of the same copper lead frame. 19 www.national.com LM1575/LM2575/LM2575HV be used in parallel with aluminum electrolytics, with the tantalum making up 10% or 20% of the total capacitance. The capacitor's ripple current rating at 52 kHz should be at least 50% higher than the peak-to-peak inductor ripple current. LM1575/LM2575/LM2575HV tance numbers as low as 40°C/W for the SO package, and 30°C/W for the N package can be realized with a carefully engineered pc board. Included on 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 regulators junction temperature below the maximum operating temperature. would allow the input voltage to rise to a high enough level before the switcher would be allowed to turn on. Because of the structural differences between the buck and the buck-boost regulator topologies, the buck regulator design procedure section can not be used to select the inductor or the output capacitor. The recommended range of inductor values for the buck-boost design is between 68 μH and 220 μH, and the output capacitor values must be larger than what is normally required for buck designs. Low input voltages or high output currents require a large value output capacitor (in the thousands of micro Farads). The peak inductor current, which is the same as the peak switch current, can be calculated from the following formula: Additional Applications INVERTING REGULATOR Figure 10 shows a LM2575-12 in a buck-boost configuration to generate a negative 12V output from a positive input voltage. This circuit bootstraps the regulator's ground pin to the negative output voltage, then by grounding the feedback pin, the regulator senses the inverted output voltage and regulates it to −12V. For an input voltage of 12V or more, the maximum available output current in this configuration is approximately 0.35A. At lighter loads, the minimum input voltage required drops to approximately 4.7V. The switch currents in this buck-boost configuration are higher than in the standard buck-mode design, thus lowering the available output current. Also, the start-up input current of the buck-boost converter is higher than the standard buck-mode regulator, and this may overload an input power source with a current limit less than 1.5A. Using a delayed turn-on or an undervoltage lockout circuit (described in the next section) Where fosc = 52 kHz. Under normal continuous inductor current operating conditions, the minimum VIN represents the worst case. Select an inductor that is rated for the peak current anticipated. Also, the maximum voltage appearing across the regulator is the absolute sum of the input and output voltage. For a −12V output, the maximum input voltage for the LM2575 is +28V, or +48V for the LM2575HV. The Switchers Made Simple (version 3.3) design software can be used to determine the feasibility of regulator designs using different topologies, different input-output parameters, different components, etc. 1147515 FIGURE 10. Inverting Buck-Boost Develops −12V www.national.com 20 LM1575/LM2575/LM2575HV NEGATIVE BOOST REGULATOR Another variation on the buck-boost topology is the negative boost configuration. The circuit in Figure 11 accepts an input voltage ranging from −5V to −12V and provides a regulated −12V output. Input voltages greater than −12V will cause the output to rise above −12V, but will not damage the regulator. Because of the boosting function of this type of regulator, the switch current is relatively high, especially at low input voltages. Output load current limitations are a result of the maximum current rating of the switch. Also, boost regulators can not provide current limiting load protection in the event of a shorted load, so some other means (such as a fuse) may be necessary. 1147517 Note: Complete circuit not shown.

Note: Pin numbers are for the TO-220 package. FIGURE 11. Negative Boost UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT In some applications it is desirable to keep the regulator off until the input voltage reaches a certain threshold. An undervoltage lockout circuit which accomplishes this task is shown in Figure 12, while Figure 13 shows the same circuit applied to a buck-boost configuration. These circuits keep the regulator off until the input voltage reaches a predetermined level. FIGURE 13. Undervoltage Lockout for Buck-Boost Circuit VTH ≈ VZ1 + 2VBE (Q1) DELAYED STARTUP The ON /OFF pin can be used to provide a delayed startup feature as shown in Figure 14. With an input voltage of 20V and for the part values shown, the circuit provides approximately 10 ms of delay time before the circuit begins switching. Increasing the RC time constant can provide longer delay times. But excessively large RC time constants can cause problems with input voltages that are high in 60 Hz or 120 Hz ripple, by coupling the ripple into the ON /OFF pin. 1147519 Note: Complete circuit not shown.

FIGURE 15. 1.2V to 55V Adjustable 1A Power Supply with Low Output Ripple www.national.com 22 BUCK REGULATOR A switching regulator topology in which a higher voltage is converted to a lower voltage. Also known as a step-down switching regulator. OUTPUT RIPPLE VOLTAGE The AC component of the switching regulator's output voltage. It is usually dominated by the output capacitor's ESR multiplied by the inductor's ripple current (ΔIIND). The peakto-peak value of this sawtooth ripple current can be determined by reading the Inductor Ripple Current section of the Application hints. BUCK-BOOST REGULATOR A switching regulator topology in which a positive voltage is converted to a negative voltage without a transformer. DUTY CYCLE (D) Ratio of the output switch's on-time to the oscillator period. CAPACITOR RIPPLE CURRENT RMS value of the maximum allowable alternating current at which a capacitor can be operated continuously at a specified temperature. STANDBY QUIESCENT CURRENT (ISTBY) Supply current required by the LM2575 when in the standby mode (ON /OFF pin is driven to TTL-high voltage, thus turning the output switch OFF). CATCH DIODE OR CURRENT STEERING DIODE The diode which provides a return path for the load current when the LM2575 switch is OFF. EFFICIENCY (η) The proportion of input power actually delivered to the load. INDUCTOR RIPPLE CURRENT (ΔIIND) The peak-to-peak value of the inductor current waveform, typically a sawtooth waveform when the regulator is operating in the continuous mode (vs. discontinuous mode). CONTINUOUS/DISCONTINUOUS MODE OPERATION Relates to the inductor current. In the continuous mode, the inductor current is always flowing and never drops to zero, vs. the discontinuous mode, where the inductor current drops to zero for a period of time in the normal switching cycle. CAPACITOR EQUIVALENT SERIES RESISTANCE (ESR) The purely resistive component of a real capacitor's impedance (see Figure 16). It causes power loss resulting in capacitor heating, which directly affects the capacitor's operating lifetime. When used as a switching regulator output filter, higher ESR values result in higher output ripple voltages. INDUCTOR SATURATION The condition which exists when an inductor cannot hold any more magnetic flux. When an inductor saturates, the inductor appears less inductive and the resistive component dominates. Inductor current is then limited only by the DC resistance of the wire and the available source current. OPERATING VOLT MICROSECOND CONSTANT (E•Top) The product (in VoIt•μs) of the voltage applied to the inductor and the time the voltage is applied. This E•Top 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. 1147521 FIGURE 16.

Except where mandated by government requirements, testing of all parameters of each product is not necessarily performed. TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or customer product design. Customers are responsible for their products and applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with customer products and applications, customers should provide adequate design and operating safeguards. TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any TI patent right, copyright, mask work right, or other TI intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license from TI to use such products or services or a warranty or endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI. Reproduction of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. Reproduction of this information with alteration is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions. Resale of TI products or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements. TI products are not authorized for use in safety-critical applications (such as life support) where a failure of the TI product would reasonably be expected to cause severe personal injury or death, unless officers of the parties have executed an agreement specifically governing such use. Buyers represent that they have all necessary expertise in the safety and regulatory ramifications of their applications, and acknowledge and agree that they are solely responsible for all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements concerning their products and any use of TI products in such safety-critical applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support that may be provided by TI. Further, Buyers must fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use of TI products in such safety-critical applications. TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments unless the TI products are specifically designated by TI as military-grade or "enhanced plastic." Only products designated by TI as military-grade meet military specifications. Buyers acknowledge and agree that any such use of TI products which TI has not designated as military-grade is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that they are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in connection with such use. TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in automotive applications or environments unless the specific TI products are designated by TI as compliant with ISO/TS 16949 requirements. Buyers acknowledge and agree that, if they use any non-designated products in automotive applications, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet such requirements.
