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. 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.

are listed for three inductor manufacturers. The inductor chosen
must be rated for operation at the LM2576 switching frequency (52
kHz) and for a current rating of 1.15 × ILOAD. For additional inductor
information, see INDUCTOR SELECTION.

COUT = 680 μF electrolytic capacitor
The above formula yields capacitor values between 10 μF and 2200
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.

APPLICATION HINTS
INPUT CAPACITOR (CIN)
To maintain stability, the regulator input pin must be bypassed with at least a 100 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
(1)
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 LM2576 (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 23 through Figure 27 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 300 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, and so on, 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.

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.
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 LM2576 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–1000 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) (2)
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 0.03Ωcan 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 LM2576 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
(e.g., 1N4001 or 1N5400, and so on) are also not suitable. See Table 1 for Schottky and “soft” fast-recovery
diode selection guide.
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 INDUCTOR SELECTION)

SNVS107C JUNE 1999REVISED APRIL 2013
The voltage spikes are present because of the 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 33) to further
reduce the amount of output ripple and transients. A 10 × reduction in output ripple voltage and transients is
possible with this filter.
FEEDBACK CONNECTION
The LM2576 (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 LM2576 to avoid picking up unwanted noise. Avoid using resistors greater than 100 kΩbecause 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 21 and
Figure 22). For the 5-lead TO-220 and DDPAK/TO-263 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.
HEAT SINK/THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
In many cases, only a small heat sink is required to keep the LM2576 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 application).
3. Maximum allowed junction temperature (125°C for the LM2576). For a safe, conservative design, a
temperature approximately 15°C cooler than the maximum temperatures should be selected.
4. LM2576 package thermal resistances θJA and θJC.
Total power dissipated by the LM2576 can be estimated as follows:
PD= (VIN)(IQ) + (VO/VIN)(ILOAD)(VSAT)
where
IQ(quiescent current) and VSAT can be found in TYPICAL PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS shown
previously,
VIN is the applied minimum input voltage, VOis the regulated output voltage,
and ILOAD is the load current. (3)
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) (4)
To arrive at the actual operating junction temperature, add the junction temperature rise to the maximum ambient
temperature.
TJ=ΔTJ+ TA(5)
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) (6)
The operating junction temperature will be:
TJ= TA+ΔTJ(7)
As 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).
Included on the Switcher 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 28 shows a LM2576-12 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
700 mA. 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 5A.
Using a delayed turn-on or an undervoltage lockout circuit (described in NEGATIVE BOOST REGULATOR)
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:
where
fosc = 52 kHz (8)
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 LM2576 is +28V, or +48V for the LM2576HV.
The Switchers Made Simple (version 3.0) design software can be used to determine the feasibility of regulator
designs using different topologies, different input-output parameters, different components, and so on.
NEGATIVE BOOST REGULATOR
Another variation on the buck-boost topology is the negative boost configuration. The circuit in Figure 29 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.
Typical Load Current
400 mA for VIN =5.2V
750 mA for VIN =7V
Heat sink may be required.
Figure 29. Negative Boost
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.
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 30, while Figure 31 shows the same
circuit applied to a buck-boost configuration. These circuits keep the regulator off until the input voltage reaches
a predetermined level.

DELAYED STARTUP
The ON /OFF pin can be used to provide a delayed startup feature as shown in Figure 32. 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.

CAPACITOR EQUIVALENT SERIES RESISTANCE (ESR)The purely resistive component of a real capacitor's
impedance (see Figure 34). 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.
Figure 34. Simple Model of a Real Capacitor
Most standard aluminum electrolytic capacitors in the 100 μF–1000 μF range have 0.5Ωto
0.1ΩESR. 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 34).
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 VOLTAGEThe 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 the INDUCTOR RIPPLE
CURRENT section.
CAPACITOR RIPPLE CURRENTRMS 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 LM2576 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 OPERATIONRelates 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 SATURATIONThe 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.

(2) Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability
information and additional product content details.
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that
lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight
in homogeneous material)
(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.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license 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 significant portions 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. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
