3 Description

The LM2576 series of regulators are monolithic

integrated circuits that provide all the active functions

for a step-down (buck) switching regulator, capable of

driving 3-A load with excellent line and load

regulation. These devices are available in fixed output

voltages of 3.3 V, 5 V, 12 V, 15 V, and an adjustable

output version.

Requiring a minimum number of external

components, these regulators are simple to use and

include fault protection and a fixed-frequency

oscillator.

The LM2576 series offers a high-efficiency

replacement for popular three-terminal linear

regulators. It substantially reduces the size of the

heat sink, and in some cases no heat sink is

required.

A standard series of inductors optimized for use with

the LM2576 are available from several different

manufacturers. This feature greatly simplifies the

design of switch-mode power supplies.

Other features include a ±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.

7 Detailed Description

7.1 Overview

The LM2576 SIMPLE SWITCHER® regulator is an easy-to-use, non-synchronous step-down DC-DC converter

with a wide input voltage range from 40 V to up to 60 V for a HV version. It is capable of delivering up to 3-A DC

load current with excellent line and load regulation. These devices are available in fixed output voltages of 3.3 V,

5 V, 12 V, 15 V, and an adjustable output version. The family requires few external components, and the pin

arrangement was designed for simple, optimum PCB layout.

7.3 Feature Description

7.3.1 Undervoltage Lockout

In some applications it is desirable to keep the regulator off until the input voltage reaches a certain threshold.

Figure 20 shows an undervoltage lockout circuit that accomplishes this task, while Figure 21 shows the same

circuit applied to a buck-boost configuration. These circuits keep the regulator off until the input voltage reaches

a predetermined level.

7.3.2 Delayed Start-Up

The ON /OFF pin can be used to provide a delayed start-up feature as shown in Figure 22. With an input voltage

of 20 V 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.

7.3.3 Adjustable Output, Low-Ripple Power Supply

Figure 23 shows a 3-A power supply that features an adjustable output voltage. An additional LC filter that

reduces the output ripple by a factor of 10 or more is included in this circuit.

7.4 Device Functional Modes

7.4.1 Shutdown Mode

The ON/OFF pin provides electrical ON and OFF control for the LM2576. When the voltage of this pin is higher

than 1.4 V, the device is in shutdown mode. The typical standby current in this mode is 50 μA.

7.4.2 Active Mode

When the voltage of the ON/OFF pin is below 1.2 V, the device starts switching, and the output voltage rises until

it reaches the normal regulation voltage.

7.4.3 Current Limit

The LM2576 device has current limiting to prevent the switch current from exceeding safe values during an

accidental overload on the output. This current limit value can be found in Electrical Characteristics: All Output

Voltage Versions under the heading of ICL.

The LM2576 uses cycle-by-cycle peak current limit for overload protection. This helps to prevent damage to the

device and external components. The regulator operates in current limit mode whenever the inductor current

exceeds the value of ICL given in Electrical Characteristics: All Output Voltage Versions. This occurs if the load

current is greater than 3 A, or the converter is starting up. Keep in mind that the maximum available load current

depends on the input voltage, output voltage, and inductor value. The regulator also incorporates short-circuit

protection to prevent inductor current run-away. When the voltage on the FB pin (ADJ) falls below about 0.58 V

the switching frequency is dropped to about 11 kHz. This allows the inductor current to ramp down sufficiently

during the switch OFF-time to prevent saturation.

8 Application and Implementation

NOTE

Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component

specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are

responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should

validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.

8.1 Application Information

8.1.1 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 placed 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 increases the regulator stability at cold

temperatures. For maximum capacitor operating lifetime, the RMS ripple current rating of the capacitor must be

greater than:

(2)

8.1.2 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 27 through Figure 31 are 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 is 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 is 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.

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 bobbin core is the least expensive type, and

consists of wire wrapped on a ferrite rod core. This type of construction makes for an inexpensive inductor;

however, because the magnetic flux is not completely contained within the core, the bobbin core 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.

Application Information (continued)

An inductor must not operate 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), causing the switch current to rise very rapidly. Different inductor types have different

saturation characteristics, and this must be considered when selecting an inductor.

The inductor manufacturer's data sheets include current and energy limits to avoid inductor saturation.

8.1.3 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 reaches zero, and

the switcher changes 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) is forced to run discontinuous if the load

current is light enough.

8.1.4 Output Capacitor

An output capacitor is required to filter the output voltage and is needed for loop stability. The capacitor must be

placed near the LM2576 using short PCB traces. Standard aluminum electrolytics are usually adequate, but TI

recommends low ESR types for low output ripple voltage and good stability. The ESR of a capacitor depends on

many factors, including: the value, the voltage rating, physical size, and the type of construction. In general, low

value or low voltage (less than 12 V) 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 to 1000 μF) allows typically 50 mV to 150 mV of output ripple voltage, while

larger-value capacitors reduces the ripple to approximately 20 mV to 50 mV.

Output Ripple Voltage = (ΔIIND) (ESR of COUT) (3)

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 reduces the output ripple to 10 mV or 20 mV. However, when operating in the continuous mode,

reducing the ESR below 0.03 Ωcan cause instability in the regulator.

Tantalum capacitors can have a very low ESR, and must 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 ripple current rating of the capacitor at 52 kHz should be at least 50% higher than the peak-to-peak inductor

ripple current.

8.1.5 Catch Diode

Buck regulators require a diode to provide a return path for the inductor current when the switch is off. This diode

must be placed 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 5 V). Fast-recovery, high-efficiency, or ultra-fast

recovery diodes are also suitable, but some types with an abrupt turnoff characteristic may cause instability and

EMI problems. A fast-recovery diode with soft recovery characteristics is a better choice. Standard 60-Hz diodes

(for example, 1N4001 or 1N5400, and so on) are also not suitable. See Table 3 for Schottky and soft fast-

recovery diode selection guide.

Application Information (continued)

8.1.6 Output Voltage Ripple and Transients

The output voltage of a switching power supply contains 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).

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 and 100 μF) can be added to the output (as shown in Figure 23) to further

reduce the amount of output ripple and transients. A 10 × reduction in output ripple voltage and transients is

possible with this filter.

8.1.7 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.

8.1.8 ON /OFF INPUT

For normal operation, the ON /OFF pin must be grounded or driven with a low-level TTL voltage (typically below

1.6 V). 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 must not be left

open.

8.1.9 Inverting Regulator

Figure 24 shows a LM2576-12 in a buck-boost configuration to generate a negative 12-V output from a positive

input voltage. This circuit bootstraps the ground pin of the regulator to the negative output voltage, then by

grounding the feedback pin, the regulator senses the inverted output voltage and regulates it to −12 V.

For an input voltage of 12 V 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 4.7 V.

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

5 A. 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 in Equation 4:

where

• fosc = 52 kHz (4)

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.

Application Information (continued)

Figure 24. Inverting Buck-Boost Develops −12 V

Also, the maximum voltage appearing across the regulator is the absolute sum of the input and output voltage.

For a −12-V output, the maximum input voltage for the LM2576 is +28 V, or +48 V for the LM2576HV.

8.1.10 Negative Boost Regulator

Another variation on the buck-boost topology is the negative boost configuration. The circuit in Figure 25 accepts

an input voltage ranging from −5 V to −12 V and provides a regulated −12-V output. Input voltages greater than

−12 V causes the output to rise above −12 V, but does not damage the regulator.

Typical Load Current

400 mA for VIN =−5.2 V

750 mA for VIN =−7 V

Heat sink may be required.

Figure 25. 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.

8.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure

8.2.1.2.1 Inductor Selection (L1)

1. Select the correct Inductor value selection guide from Figure 27,Figure 28,Figure 29,orFigure 30. (Output

voltages of 3.3 V, 5 V, 12 V or 15 V respectively). For other output voltages, see the design procedure for the

adjustable version. Use the selection guide shown in Figure 28.

2. 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. From the selection guide, the inductance area

intersected by the 15-V line and 3-A line is L100.

3. Identify the inductor value from the inductor code, and select an appropriate inductor from the table shown in

Figure 27. Part numbers 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. Inductor value required is 100 μH from the table in Figure 27.

Choose AIE 415-0930, Pulse Engineering PE92108, or Renco RL2444.

8.2.1.2.2 Output Capacitor Selection (COUT)

1. 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) TI recommends a value between 100 μF and 470 μF. We choose COUT = 680-μF to 2000-μF

standard aluminum electrolytic.

Product Folder Links: LM2576 LM2576HV

2. The voltage rating of the capacitor must be at least 1.5 times greater than the output voltage. For a 5-V

regulator, a rating of at least 8 V is appropriate, and a 10-V or 15-V rating is recommended. Capacitor

voltage rating = 20 V. 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.

8.2.1.2.3 Catch Diode Selection (D1)

1. 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 LM2576. The most stressful condition for this diode is an overload or

shorted output condition. For this example, a 3-A current rating is adequate.

2. The reverse voltage rating of the diode should be at least 1.25 times the maximum input voltage. Use a 20-V

1N5823 or SR302 Schottky diode, or any of the suggested fast-recovery diodes shown in Table 3.

8.2.1.2.4 Input Capacitor (CIN)

An aluminum or tantalum electrolytic bypass capacitor located close to the regulator is needed for stable

operation. A 100-μF, 25-V aluminum electrolytic capacitor located near the input and ground pins provides

sufficient bypassing.

the inductor code for that region.

5. Identify the inductor value from the inductor code, and select an appropriate inductor from the table shown in

Table 4. Part numbers are listed for three inductor manufacturers. The inductor chosen must be rated for

inductor information, see Inductor Selection.

Choose from AIE part #415-0936, Pulse Engineering part #PE-531115, or Renco part #RL2445.

8.2.2.2.3 Output Capacitor Selection (COUT)

1. 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 :

yields capacitor values between 10 μF and 2200 μF that satisfies 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 yields.

However, for acceptable output ripple voltage select

COUT ≥680 μF

COUT = 680-μF electrolytic capacitor

2. The capacitor's voltage rating must be at last 1.5 times greater than the output voltage. For a 10-V regulator,

a rating of at least 15 V 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.

8.2.2.2.4 Catch Diode Selection (D1)

1. 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 must have a current rating equal to

the maximum current limit of the LM2576. The most stressful condition for this diode is an overload or

shorted output. See Table 3. For this example, a 3.3-A current rating is adequate.

2. The reverse voltage rating of the diode should be at least 1.25 times the maximum input voltage. Use a 30-V

31DQ03 Schottky diode, or any of the suggested fast-recovery diodes in Table 3.

8.2.2.2.5 Input Capacitor (CIN)

An aluminum or tantalum electrolytic bypass capacitor located close to the regulator is needed for stable

operation. A 100-μF aluminum electrolytic capacitor located near the input and ground pins provides sufficient

bypassing.

9 Power Supply Recommendations

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.

10 Layout

10.1 Layout Guidelines

Board layout is critical for the proper operation of switching power supplies. First, the ground plane area must be

sufficient for thermal dissipation purposes. Second, appropriate guidelines must be followed to reduce the effects

of switching noise. Switch mode converters are very fast switching devices. In such cases, the rapid increase of

input current combined with the parasitic trace inductance generates unwanted L di/dt noise spikes. The

magnitude of this noise tends to increase as the output current increases. This noise may turn into

electromagnetic interference (EMI) and can also cause problems in device performance. Therefore, take care in

layout to minimize the effect of this switching noise. The most important layout rule is to keep the AC current

loops as small as possible. Figure 33 shows the current flow in a buck converter. The top schematic shows a

dotted line which represents the current flow during the top-switch ON-state. The middle schematic shows the

current flow during the top-switch OFF-state. The bottom schematic shows the currents referred to as AC

currents. These AC currents are the most critical because they are changing in a very short time period. The

dotted lines of the bottom schematic are the traces to keep as short and wide as possible. This also yields a

small loop area reducing the loop inductance. To avoid functional problems due to layout, review the PCB layout

example. Best results are achieved if the placement of the LM2576 device, the bypass capacitor, the Schottky

diode, RFBB, RFBT, and the inductor are placed as shown in Figure 34.TI also recommends using 2-oz copper

boards or heavier to help thermal dissipation and to reduce the parasitic inductances of board traces. See

application note AN-1229 SIMPLE SWITCHER® PCB Layout Guidelines (SNVA054) for more information.

10.2 Layout Example

Figure 34. LM2576xx Layout Example

10.3 Grounding

To maintain output voltage stability, the power ground connections must be low-impedance (see Figure 26 and

Figure 32). 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.

10.4 Heat Sink and 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 is 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 must be selected.

4. LM2576 package thermal resistances θJA and θJC.

Total power dissipated by the LM2576 can be estimated in Equation 10:

PD= (VIN)(IQ) + (VO/VIN)(ILOAD)(VSAT)

where

• IQ(quiescent current) and VSAT can be found in Typical Characteristics shown previously,

• VIN is the applied minimum input voltage, VOis the regulated output voltage,

• and ILOAD is the load current. (10)

SNVS107D –JUNE 1999–REVISED MAY 2016

Product Folder Links: LM2576 LM2576HV

Heat Sink and Thermal Considerations (continued)

The dynamic losses during turnon and turnoff are negligible if a Schottky type catch diode is used.

When no heat sink is used, the junction temperature rise can be determined by Equation 11:

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 Equation 13:

ΔTJ= (PD) (θJC +θinterface +θHeat sink) (13)

The operating junction temperature is:

TJ= TA+ΔTJ(14)

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).

11 Device and Documentation Support

11.1 Device Support

11.1.1 Device Nomenclature

11.1.1.1 Definition of Terms

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.

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.

(15)

CATCH DIODE OR CURRENT STEERING DIODE The diode which provides a return path for the load current

when the LM2576 switch is OFF.

EFFICIENCY (η)The proportion of input power actually delivered to the load.

(16)

CAPACITOR EQUIVALENT SERIES RESISTANCE (ESR) The purely resistive component of a real capacitor's

impedance (see Figure 35). 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 35. 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 to 1000 μF range generally have ESR of less than 0.15Ω.

EQUIVALENT SERIES INDUCTANCE (ESL) The pure inductance component of a capacitor (see Figure 35).

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 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 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.

Device Support (continued)

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.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) reserves 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.

TI’s published terms of sale for semiconductor products (http://www.ti.com/sc/docs/stdterms.htm) apply to the sale of packaged integrated

circuit products that TI has qualified and released to market. Additional terms may apply to the use or sale of other types of TI products and

services.

Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI 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 reproduced

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.

Buyers and others who are developing systems that incorporate TI products (collectively, “Designers”) understand and agree that Designers

remain responsible for using their independent analysis, evaluation and judgment in designing their applications and that Designers have

full and exclusive responsibility to assure the safety of Designers' applications and compliance of their applications (and of all TI products

used in or for Designers’ applications) with all applicable regulations, laws and other applicable requirements. Designer represents that, with

respect to their applications, Designer has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards that (1) anticipate dangerous

consequences of failures, (2) monitor failures and their consequences, and (3) lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause harm and

take appropriate actions. Designer agrees that prior to using or distributing any applications that include TI products, Designer will

thoroughly test such applications and the functionality of such TI products as used in such applications.

TI’s provision of technical, application or other design advice, quality characterization, reliability data or other services or information,

including, but not limited to, reference designs and materials relating to evaluation modules, (collectively, “TI Resources”) are intended to

assist designers who are developing applications that incorporate TI products; by downloading, accessing or using TI Resources in any

way, Designer (individually or, if Designer is acting on behalf of a company, Designer’s company) agrees to use any particular TI Resource

solely for this purpose and subject to the terms of this Notice.

TI’s provision of TI Resources does not expand or otherwise alter TI’s applicable published warranties or warranty disclaimers for TI

products, and no additional obligations or liabilities arise from TI providing such TI Resources. TI reserves the right to make corrections,

enhancements, improvements and other changes to its TI Resources. TI has not conducted any testing other than that specifically

described in the published documentation for a particular TI Resource.

Designer is authorized to use, copy and modify any individual TI Resource only in connection with the development of applications that

include the TI product(s) identified in such TI Resource. NO OTHER LICENSE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY ESTOPPEL OR OTHERWISE

TO ANY OTHER TI INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT, AND NO LICENSE TO ANY TECHNOLOGY OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

RIGHT OF TI OR ANY THIRD PARTY IS GRANTED HEREIN, including but not limited to any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or

other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information

regarding or referencing third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services, or a warranty or

endorsement thereof. Use of TI Resources 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.

TI RESOURCES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS. TI DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR

REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO

ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS, TITLE, ANY EPIDEMIC FAILURE WARRANTY AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF

MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL

PROPERTY RIGHTS. TI SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR AND SHALL NOT DEFEND OR INDEMNIFY DESIGNER AGAINST ANY CLAIM,

INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY INFRINGEMENT CLAIM THAT RELATES TO OR IS BASED ON ANY COMBINATION OF

PRODUCTS EVEN IF DESCRIBED IN TI RESOURCES OR OTHERWISE. IN NO EVENT SHALL TI BE LIABLE FOR ANY ACTUAL,

DIRECT, SPECIAL, COLLATERAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES IN

CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF TI RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER TI HAS BEEN

ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Unless TI has explicitly designated an individual product as meeting the requirements of a particular industry standard (e.g., ISO/TS 16949

and ISO 26262), TI is not responsible for any failure to meet such industry standard requirements.

Where TI specifically promotes products as facilitating functional safety or as compliant with industry functional safety standards, such

products are intended to help enable customers to design and create their own applications that meet applicable functional safety standards

and requirements. Using products in an application does not by itself establish any safety features in the application. Designers must

ensure compliance with safety-related requirements and standards applicable to their applications. Designer may not use any TI products in

life-critical medical equipment unless authorized officers of the parties have executed a special contract specifically governing such use.

Life-critical medical equipment is medical equipment where failure of such equipment would cause serious bodily injury or death (e.g., life

support, pacemakers, defibrillators, heart pumps, neurostimulators, and implantables). Such equipment includes, without limitation, all

medical devices identified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as Class III devices and equivalent classifications outside the U.S.

TI may expressly designate certain products as completing a particular qualification (e.g., Q100, Military Grade, or Enhanced Product).

Designers agree that it has the necessary expertise to select the product with the appropriate qualification designation for their applications

and that proper product selection is at Designers’ own risk. Designers are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory

requirements in connection with such selection.

Designer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages, costs, losses, and/or liabilities arising out of Designer’s non-

compliance with the terms and provisions of this Notice.
