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, the
length of the leads indicated by heavy lines should be kept as short as possible. Single-point grounding (as
indicated) or ground plane construction should be used for best results. When using the Adjustable version,
physically locate the programming resistors near the regulator, to keep the sensitive feedback wiring short.

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 27 through Figure 31 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 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.
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 INDUCTOR RIPPLE CURRENT).
The lower capacitor values (220 μF–680 μF) will allow typically 50 mV to 150 mV of output ripple voltage, while
larger-value capacitors will reduce the ripple to approximately 20 mV to 50 mV.
Output Ripple Voltage = (ΔIIND) (ESR of COUT) (9)
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 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.
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). Fast-Recovery, 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
(example: 1N4001 or 1N5400, and so on.) are also not suitable. See Table 1 for Schottky and “soft” fast-
recovery diode selection guide.
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.
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 26). 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.
With the CDIP or SOIC 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.
The dynamic losses during turn-on 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) (11)
To arrive at the actual operating junction temperature, add the junction temperature rise to the maximum ambient
temperature.
TJ = ΔTJ + TA (12)
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:
ΔTJ = (PD) (θJC + θinterface + θHeat sink) (13)
The operating junction temperature will be:
TJ = TA + ΔTJ (14)
As shown in Equation 14, 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 CDIP or surface mount SOIC 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 resistance numbers as low as
40°C/W for the SOIC package, and 30°C/W for the CDIP 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.
ADDITIONAL APPLICATIONS
INVERTING REGULATOR
Figure 32 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 NEGATIVE BOOST
REGULATOR section) 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 cannot 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:
where
• fosc = 52 kHz. (15)
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, and so on.

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 34, while Figure 35 shows the same
circuit applied to a buck-boost configuration. These circuits keep the regulator off until the input voltage reaches
a predetermined level.
VTH ≈ VZ1 + 2VBE (Q1) (16)
DELAYED STARTUP
The ON /OFF pin can be used to provide a delayed startup feature as shown in Figure 36. 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.

EFFICIENCY (η) The proportion of input power actually delivered to the load.
(18)
CAPACITOR EQUIVALENT SERIES RESISTANCE (ESR) The purely resistive component of a real capacitor's
impedance (see Figure 38). 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.
Most standard aluminum electrolytic capacitors in the 100 μF–1000 μF range have 0.5Ω to
0.1Ω ESR. Higher-grade capacitors (“low-ESR”, “high-frequency”, or “low-inductance”') in the
100 μF–1000 μF range generally have ESR of less than 0.15Ω.
EQUIVALENT SERIES INDUCTANCE (ESL) The pure inductance component of a capacitor (see Figure 38).
The amount of inductance is determined to a large extent on the capacitor's construction. In a buck
regulator, this unwanted inductance causes voltage spikes to appear on the output.
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 peak-to-
peak value of this sawtooth ripple current can be determined by reading INDUCTOR RIPPLE CURRENT.
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).
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.
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.

(1)
The marketing status values are defined as follows:
ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.
LIFEBUY: TI has announced that the device will be discontinued, and a lifetime-buy period is in effect.
NRND: Not recommended for new designs. Device is in production to support existing customers, but TI does not recommend using this part in a new design.
PREVIEW: Device has been announced but is not in production. Samples may or may not be available.
OBSOLETE: TI has discontinued the production of the device.
(2)
RoHS: TI defines "RoHS" to mean semiconductor products that are compliant with the current EU RoHS requirements for all 10 RoHS substances, including the requirement that RoHS substance
do not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, "RoHS" products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes. TI may
reference these types of products as "Pb-Free".
RoHS Exempt: TI defines "RoHS Exempt" to mean products that contain lead but are compliant with EU RoHS pursuant to a specific EU RoHS exemption.
Green: TI defines "Green" to mean the content of Chlorine (Cl) and Bromine (Br) based flame retardants meet JS709B low halogen requirements of <=1000ppm threshold. Antimony trioxide based
flame retardants must also meet the <=1000ppm threshold requirement.
(3)
MSL, Peak Temp. - The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature.
(4)
There may be additional marking, which relates to the logo, the lot trace code information, or the environmental category on the device.
(5)
Multiple Device Markings will be inside parentheses. Only one Device Marking contained in parentheses and separated by a "~" will appear on a device. If a line is indented then it is a continuation
of the previous line and the two combined represent the entire Device Marking for that device.
(6)
Lead/Ball Finish - Orderable Devices may have multiple material finish options. Finish options are separated by a vertical ruled line. Lead/Ball Finish values may wrap to two lines if the finish
value exceeds the maximum column width.
