LM1577/LM2577 Series SIMPLE SWITCHER (R) Step-Up Voltage Regulator General Description Features The LM1577/LM2577 are monolithic integrated circuits that provide all of the power and control functions for step-up (boost), flyback, and forward converter switching regulators. The device is available in three different output voltage versions: 12V, 15V, and adjustable. Requiring a minimum number of external components, these regulators are cost effective, and simple to use. Listed in this data sheet are a family of standard inductors and flyback transformers designed to work with these switching regulators. Included on the chip is a 3.0A NPN switch and its associated protection circuitry, consisting of current and thermal limiting, and undervoltage lockout. Other features include a 52 kHz fixed-frequency oscillator that requires no external components, a soft start mode to reduce in-rush current during start-up, and current mode control for improved rejection of input voltage and output load transients. n n n n Requires few external components NPN output switches 3.0A, can stand off 65V Wide input voltage range: 3.5V to 40V Current-mode operation for improved transient response, line regulation, and current limit n 52 kHz internal oscillator n Soft-start function reduces in-rush current during start-up n Output switch protected by current limit, under-voltage lockout, and thermal shutdown Typical Applications n Simple boost regulator n Flyback and forward regulators n Multiple-output regulator Typical Application DS011468-1 Note: Pin numbers shown are for TO-220 (T) package.

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: Due to timing considerations of the LM1577/LM2577 current limit circuit, output current cannot be internally limited when the LM1577/LM2577 is used as a step-up regulator. To prevent damage to the switch, its current must be externally limited to 6.0A. However, output current is internally limited when the LM1577/ LM2577 is used as a flyback or forward converter regulator in accordance to the Application Hints. Note 3: All limits guaranteed at room temperature (standard type face) and at temperature extremes (boldface type). All limits are used to calculate Outgoing Quality Level, and are 100% production tested. Note 4: A military RETS electrical test specification is available on request. At the time of printing, the LM1577K-12/883, LM1577K-15/883, and LM1577K-ADJ/883 RETS specifications complied fully with the boldface limits in these columns. The LM1577K-12/883, LM1577K-15/883, and LM1577K-ADJ/883 may also be procured to Standard Military Drawing specifications. Note 5: All limits guaranteed at room temperature (standard type face) and at temperature extremes (boldface type). All room temperature limits are 100% production tested. All limits at temperature extremes are guaranteed via correlation using standard Statistical Quality Control (SQC) methods. Note 6: External components such as the diode, inductor, input and output capacitors can affect switching regulator performance. When the LM1577/LM2577 is used as shown in the Test Circuit, system performance will be as specified by the system parameters. Note 7: A 1.0 M resistor is connected to the compensation pin (which is the error amplifier's output) to ensure accuracy in measuring AVOL. In actual applications, this pin's load resistance should be 10 M, resulting in AVOL that is typically twice the guaranteed minimum limit. Note 8: 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 9: 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, JA is 50C/W; with 1 square inch of copper area, JA is 37C/W; and with 1.6 or more square inches of copper area, JA is 32C/W. www.national.com 6 Typical Performance Characteristics Reference Voltage vs Temperature Reference Voltage vs Temperature DS011468-34 Reference Voltage vs Supply Voltage Reference Voltage vs Temperature DS011468-35 Reference Voltage vs Supply Voltage DS011468-37 Error Amp Transconductance vs Temperature Reference Voltage vs Supply Voltage DS011468-38 Error Amp Transconductance vs Temperature DS011468-40 DS011468-41 7 DS011468-36 DS011468-39 Error Amp Transconductance vs Temperature DS011468-42 www.national.com Typical Performance Characteristics Error Amp Voltage Gain vs Temperature (Continued) Error Amp Voltage Gain vs Temperature DS011468-43 Quiescent Current vs Temperature DS011468-44 Quiescent Current vs Switch Current DS011468-46 Current Limit Response Time vs Overdrive DS011468-45 Current Limit vs Temperature DS011468-47 Switch Saturation Voltage vs Switch Current DS011468-49 www.national.com Error Amp Voltage Gain vs Temperature Switch Transconductance vs Temperature DS011468-50 8 DS011468-48 DS011468-51 Typical Performance Characteristics (Continued) Feedback Pin Bias Current vs Temperature Oscillator Frequency vs Temperature DS011468-52 DS011468-53 Maximum Power Dissipation (TO-263) (Note 9) DS011468-31 Connection Diagrams Straight Leads 5-Lead TO-220 (T) Bent, Staggered Leads 5-Lead TO-220 (T) DS011468-4 DS011468-5 Top View Order Number LM2577T-12, LM2577T-15, or LM2577T-ADJ See NS Package Number T05A Top View Order Number LM2577T-12 Flow LB03, LM2577T-15 Flow LB03, or LM2577T-ADJ Flow LB03 See NS Package Number T05D 9 www.national.com Connection Diagrams (Continued) 16-Lead DIP (N) 24-Lead Surface Mount (M) DS011468-6 *No internal Connection Top View Order Number LM2577N-12, LM2577N-15, or LM2577N-ADJ See NS Package Number N16A DS011468-7 *No internal Connection Top View Order Number LM2577M-12, LM2577M-15, or LM2577M-ADJ See NS Package Number M24B TO-263 (S) 5-Lead Surface-Mount Package 4-Lead TO-3 (K) DS011468-32 Top View DS011468-8 Bottom View Order Number LM1577K-12/883, LM1577K-15/883, or LM1577K-ADJ/883 See NS Package Number K04A DS011468-33 Side View Order Number LM2577S-12, LM2577S-15, or LM2577S-ADJ See NS Package Number TS5B www.national.com 10 LM1577-12, LM2577-12 Test Circuit DS011468-30 L = 415-0930 (AIE) D = any manufacturer COUT = Sprague Type 673D Electrolytic 680 F, 20V Note: Pin numbers shown are for TO-220 (T) package FIGURE 1.

FIGURE 4. LM1577/LM2577 Block Diagram and Boost Regulator Application www.national.com 12 Application Hints (Continued) Duty Cycle STEP-UP (BOOST) REGULATOR Figure 4 shows the LM1577-ADJ/LM2577-ADJ used as a Step-Up Regulator. This is a switching regulator used for producing an output voltage greater than the input supply voltage. The LM1577-12/LM2577-12 and LM1577-15/ LM2577-15 can also be used for step-up regulators with 12V or 15V outputs (respectively), by tying the feedback pin directly to the regulator output. A basic explanation of how it works is as follows. The LM1577/LM2577 turns its output switch on and off at a frequency of 52 kHz, and this creates energy in the inductor (L). When the NPN switch turns on, the inductor current charges up at a rate of VIN/L, storing current 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 the amount of energy transferred which, in turn, is controlled by modulating the peak inductor 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 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. Voltage and current waveforms for this circuit are shown in Figure 5, and formulas for calculating them are given in Figure 6.

Step-Up Regulator Formulas STEP-UP REGULATOR DESIGN PROCEDURE The following design procedure can be used to select the appropriate external components for the circuit in Figure 4, based on these system requirements. Given: VIN (min) = Minimum input supply voltage VOUT = Regulated output voltage ILOAD(max) = Maximum output load current Before proceeding any further, determine if the LM1577/ LM2577 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 60V DS011468-11 FIGURE 5. Step-Up Regulator Waveforms and VOUT 10 x VIN(min) These limits must be greater than or equal to the values specified in this application. 1. Inductor Selection (L) A. Voltage Options: 1. For 12V or 15V output 13 www.national.com Application Hints If LMIN is smaller than the inductor value found in step B1, go on to step C. Otherwise, the inductor value found in step B1 is too low; an appropriate inductor code should be obtained from the graph as follows: 1. Find the lowest value inductor that is greater than LMIN. (Continued) From Figure 7 (for 12V output) or Figure 8 (for 15V output), identify inductor code for region indicated by VIN (min) and ILOAD (max). The shaded region indicates conditions for which the LM1577/LM2577 output switch would be operating beyond its switch current rating. The minimum operating voltage for the LM1577/LM2577 is 3.5V. From here, proceed to step C. 2. 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. 2. For Adjustable version Preliminary calculations: The inductor selection is based on the calculation of the following three parameters: D(max), the maximum switch duty cycle (0 D 0.9): where VF = 0.5V for Schottky diodes and 0.8V for fast recovery diodes (typically); E * T, the product of volts x time that charges the inductor: DS011468-27 FIGURE 7.

From Figure 9, 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 V * s (L) or 250 V * s (H). 2. If D < 0.85, go on to step C. If D 0.85, then calculate the minimum inductance needed to ensure the switching regulator's stability: DS011468-28 FIGURE 8. LM2577-15 Inductor Selection Guide www.national.com 14 Application Hints (Continued) DS011468-12 Note: These charts assume 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. FIGURE 9. LM1577-ADJ/LM2577-ADJ Inductor Selection Graph C. Select an inductor from the table of Figure 10 which cross-references the inductor codes to the part numbers of three different manufacturers. Complete specifications for these inductors are available from the respective manufacturers. The inductors listed in this table have the following characteristics: AIE: ferrite, pot-core inductors; Benefits of this type are low electro-magnetic interference (EMI), small physical size, and very low power dissipation (core loss). Be careful not to operate these inductors too far beyond their maximum ratings for E * T and peak current, as this will saturate the core. 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. 15 www.national.com Application Hints Inductor (Continued) Manufacturer's Part Number Code Schott Pulse Renco L47 67126980 PE - 53112 RL2442 L68 67126990 PE - 92114 RL2443 L100 67127000 PE - 92108 RL2444 L150 67127010 PE - 53113 RL1954 L220 67127020 PE - 52626 RL1953 L330 67127030 PE - 52627 RL1952 L470 67127040 PE - 53114 RL1951 L680 67127050 PE - 52629 RL1950 H150 67127060 PE - 53115 RL2445 H220 67127070 PE - 53116 RL2446 H330 67127080 PE - 53117 RL2447 H470 67127090 PE - 53118 RL1961 H680 67127100 PE - 53119 RL1960 H1000 67127110 PE - 53120 RL1959 H1500 67127120 PE - 53121 RL1958 H2200 67127130 PE - 53122 RL2448 The compensation capacitor is also part of the soft start circuitry. When power to the regulator is turned on, the switch duty cycle is allowed to rise at a rate controlled by this capacitor (with no control on the duty cycle, it would immediately rise to 90%, drawing huge currents from the input power supply). In order to operate properly, the soft start circuit requires CC 0.22 F. The value of the output filter capacitor is normally large enough to require the use of aluminum electrolytic capacitors. Figure 11 lists several different types that are recommended for switching regulators, and the following parameters are used to select the proper 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 Schott Corp., (612) 475-1173 1000 Parkers Lake Rd., Wayzata, MN 55391 Pulse Engineering, (619) 268-2400 P.O. Box 12235, San Diego, CA 92112 Renco Electronics Inc., (516) 586-5566 60 Jeffryn Blvd. East, Deer Park, NY 11729 Choose a capacitor that is rated at least 50% higher than this value at 52 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 ESR doesn't exceed the maximum value specified by the following equations. FIGURE 10. Table of Standardized Inductors and Manufacturer's Part Numbers 2. Compensation Network (RC, CC) and Output Capacitor (COUT) Selection RC and CC form a pole-zero compensation network that stabilizes the regulator. The values of RC and CC are mainly dependant on the regulator voltage gain, ILOAD(max), L and COUT. The following procedure calculates values for RC, CC, and COUT that ensure regulator stability. Be aware that this procedure doesn't necessarily result in RC and CC that provide optimum compensation. In order to guarantee optimum compensation, one of the standard procedures for testing loop stability must be used, such as measuring VOUT transient response when pulsing ILOAD (see Figure 15). A. First, calculate the maximum value for RC. Select a capacitor with ESR, at 52 kHz, that is less than or equal to the lower value calculated. Most electrolytic capacitors specify ESR at 120 Hz which is 15% to 30% higher than at 52 kHz. Also, be aware that ESR increases by a factor of 2 when operating at -20C. In general, low values of ESR are achieved by using large value capacitors (C 470 F), and capacitors with high WVDC, or by paralleling smaller-value capacitors. Select a resistor less than or equal to this value, and it should also be no greater than 3 k. B. Calculate the minimum value for COUT using the following two equations. The larger of these two values is the minimum value that ensures stability. C. Calculate the minimum value of CC . www.national.com 16 Application Hints (Continued) 3.

Input Capacitor Selection (CIN) The switching action in the step-up regulator causes a triangular ripple current to be drawn from the supply source. This in turn causes noise to appear on the supply voltage. For proper operation of the LM1577, the input voltage should be decoupled. Bypassing the Input Voltage pin directly to ground with a good quality, low ESR, 0.1 F capacitor (leads as short as possible) is normally sufficient. 100V 3A MR851 HER102 30DL1 MUR110 MR831 10DL1 HER302 FIGURE 12.

Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors Recommended for Switching Regulators If the LM1577 is located far from the supply source filter capacitors, an additional large electrolytic capacitor (e.g. 47 F) is often required. 5. Diode Selection (D) The switching diode used in the boost regulator must withstand a reverse voltage equal to the circuit output voltage, and must conduct the peak output current of the LM2577. A suitable diode must have a minimum reverse breakdown voltage greater than the circuit output voltage, and should be rated for average and peak current greater than ILOAD(max) and ID(PK). Schottky barrier diodes are often favored for use in switching regulators. Their low forward voltage drop allows higher regulator efficiency than if a (less expensive) fast recovery diode was used.

(Continued) FLYBACK REGULATOR A Flyback regulator can produce single or multiple output voltages that are lower or greater than the input supply voltage. Figure 18 shows the LM1577/LM2577 used as a flyback regulator with positive and negative regulated outputs. Its operation is similar to a step-up regulator, except the output switch contols the primary current of a flyback transformer. Note that the primary and secondary windings are out of phase, so no current flows through secondary when current flows through the primary. This allows the primary to charge up the transformer core when the switch is on. When the switch turns off, the core discharges by sending current through the secondary, and this produces voltage at the outputs. The output voltages are controlled by adjusting the peak primary current, as described in the step-up regulator section. Where ILOAD(max) is the sum of the load current (magnitude) required from both outputs. Select a resistor less than or equal to this value, and no greater than 3 k. B. Calculate the minimum value for COUT (sum of COUT at both outputs) using the following two equations. The larger of these two values must be used to ensure regulator stability. Voltage and current waveforms for this circuit are shown in Figure 17, and formulas for calculating them are given in Figure 19. FLYBACK REGULATOR DESIGN PROCEDURE 1. Transformer Selection A family of standardized flyback transformers is available for creating flyback regulators that produce dual output voltages, from 10V to 15V, as shown in Figure 18. Figure 20lists these transformers with the input voltage, output voltages and maximum load current they are designed for. 2. Compensation Network (CC, RC) and Output Capacitor (COUT) Selection As explained in the Step-Up Regulator Design Procedure, CC, RC and COUT must be selected as a group. The following procedure is for a dual output flyback regulator with equal turns ratios for each secondary (i.e., both output voltages have the same magnitude). The equations can be used for a single output regulator by changing ILOAD(max) to ILOAD(max) in the following equations. DS011468-17 FIGURE 17.

Diode Selection The switching diode in a flyback converter must withstand the reverse voltage specified by the following equation. This formula can also be used to calculate the maximum ESR of a single output regulator. At this point, refer to this same section in the Step-Up Regulator Design Procedurefor more information regarding the selection of COUT. 3. Output Voltage Selection This section is for applications using the LM1577-ADJ/ LM2577-ADJ. Skip this section if the LM1577-12/LM2577-12 or LM1577-15/LM2577-15 is being used. A suitable diode must have a reverse voltage rating greater than this. In addition it must be rated for more than the average and peak diode currents listed in Figure 19. 5. Input Capacitor Selection The primary of a flyback transformer draws discontinuous pulses of current from the input supply. As a result, a flyback regulator generates more noise at the input supply than a step-up regulator, and this requires a larger bypass capacitor to decouple the LM1577/LM2577 VIN pin from this noise. For most applications, a low ESR, 1.0 F cap will be sufficient, if it is connected very close to the VIN and Ground pins.

Flyback Transformer Selection Guide In addition to this bypass cap, a larger capacitor ( 47 F) should be used where the flyback transformer connects to the input supply. This will attenuate noise which may interfere with other circuits connected to the same input supply voltage. 6. Snubber Circuit DS011468-19 FIGURE 21. Snubber Circuit FLYBACK REGULATOR CIRCUIT EXAMPLE The circuit of Figure 22 produces 15V (at 225 mA each) from a single 5V input. The output regulation of this circuit is shown in Figure 23 and Figure 25, while the load transient response is shown in Figure 24 and Figure 26. Switching waveforms seen in this circuit are shown in Figure 27. A "snubber" circuit is required when operating from input voltages greater than 10V, or when using a transformer with LP 200 H. This circuit clamps a voltage spike from the transformer primary that occurs immediately after the output switch turns off. Without it, the switch voltage may exceed the 65V maximum rating. As shown in Figure 21, the snubber consists of a fast recovery diode, and a parallel RC.

The device is available in three different output voltage versions: 12V, 15V, and adjustable. Requiring a minimum number of external components, these regulators are cost effective, and simple to use. Listed in this data sheet are a family of standard inductors and flyback transformers designed to work with these switching regulators. Included on the chip is a 3.0A NPN switch and its associated protection circuitry, consisting of current and thermal limiting, and undervoltage lockout. Other features include a 52 kHz fixed-frequency oscillator that requires no external components, a soft start mode to reduce in-rush current during start-up, and current mode control for improved rejection of input voltage and output load transients. Features Requires few external components NPN output switches 3.0A, can stand off 65V Wide input voltage range: 3.5V to 40V Current-mode operation for improved transient response, line regulation, and current limit 52 kHz internal oscillator Soft-start function reduces in-rush current during start-up Output switch protected by current limit, under-voltage lockout, and thermal shutdown Applications file:///H|/imaging/BITTING/cpl/20020808_1/08062002_10/NATL/08062002_HTML/LM2577.html (3 of 4) [Aug-09-2002 12:20:04 PM] National P/N LM2577 - SIMPLE SWITCHER Step-Up Voltage Regulator Simple boost regulator Flyback and forward regulators Multiple-output regulator Design Tools Title Size in Kbytes Date SimpleSwitcher(R) DC-DC Converters Design Software 10 Kbytes Receive via View Online Download Email 12-Jun2002 View If you have trouble printing or viewing PDF file(s), see Printing Problems.
