Switching Regulator  
General Description  
Features  
n Inverting and non-inverting feedback inputs  
n 1.0V reference at inputs  
The LM1578A is a switching regulator which can easily be  
set up for such DC-to-DC voltage conversion circuits as the  
buck, boost, and inverting configurations. The LM1578A fea-  
tures a unique comparator input stage which not only has  
separate pins for both the inverting and non-inverting inputs,  
but also provides an internal 1.0V reference to each input,  
thereby simplifying circuit design and p.c. board layout. The  
output can switch up to 750 mA and has output pins for its  
collector and emitter to promote design flexibility. An external  
current limit terminal may be referenced to either the ground  
or the Vin terminal, depending upon the application. In addi-  
tion, the LM1578A has an on board oscillator, which sets the  
n Operates from supply voltages of 2V to 40V  
n Output current up to 750 mA, saturation less than 0.9V  
n Current limit and thermal shut down  
n Duty cycle up to 90%  
Applications  
n Switching regulators in buck, boost, inverting, and  
single-ended transformer configurations  
n Motor speed control

Note 6: All limits guaranteed and 100% production tested at room temperature (standard type face) and at temperature extremes (bold type face). All limits are used  
to calculate Average Outgoing Quality Level (AOQL).  
Note 7: All limits guaranteed at room temperature (standard type face) and at temperature extremes (bold type face). Room temperature limits are 100% production  
tested. Limits at temperature extremes are guaranteed via correlation using standard Statistical Quality Control (SQC) methods. All limits are used to calculate AOQL.  
Note 8: Input terminals are protected from accidental shorts to ground but if external voltages higher than the reference voltage are applied, excessive current will  
flow and should be limited to less than 5 mA.  
Note 9:  
I and I are the external sink currents at the inputs (refer to Test Circuit).

Note 10: Connection of a 10 kresistor from pin 1 to pin 4 will drive the duty cycle to its maximum, typically 90%. Applying the minimum Current Limit Sense Voltage  
to pin 7 will not reduce the duty cycle to less than 50%. Applying the maximum Current Limit Sense Voltage to pin 7 is certain to reduce the duty cycle below 50%.  
Increasing this voltage by 15 mV may be required to reduce the duty cycle to 0%, when the Collector output swing is 40V or greater (see Ground-Referred Current  
Limit Sense Voltage typical curve).

The Current Limit Sense Voltage is measured by connecting  
an adjustable 0-to-1V floating power supply in series with the  
current limit terminal and referring it to either the ground or  
the Vin terminal. Set the duty cycle to 90% and monitor test  
point TP5 while adjusting the floating power supply voltage  
until the LM1578A’s duty cycle just reaches 0%. This voltage  
is the Current Limit Sense Voltage.

Current Limit Sense Voltage: The voltage at the Current  
Limit pin, referred to either the supply or the ground terminal,  
which (via logic circuitry) will cause the output transistor to  
turn OFF and resets cycle-by-cycle at the oscillator fre-  
quency.  
Definition of Terms  
Input Reference Voltage: The voltage (referred to ground)  
that must be applied to either the inverting or non-inverting  
input to cause the regulator switch to change state (ON or  
OFF).  
Current Limit Sense Current: The bias current for the Cur-  
rent Limit terminal with the applied voltage equal to the Cur-  
rent Limit Sense Voltage.  
Input Reference Current: The current that must be drawn  
from either the inverting or non-inverting input to cause the  
regulator switch to change state (ON or OFF).  
Supply Current: The IC power supply current, excluding the  
current drawn through the output transistor, with the oscilla-  
tor operating.  
Input Level Shift Accuracy: This specification determines  
the output voltage tolerance of a regulator whose output con-  
trol depends on drawing equal currents from the inverting  
and non-inverting inputs (see the Inverting Regulator of Fig-  
ure 21, and the RS-232 Line Driver Power Supply of Figure  
23).  
Functional Description  
The LM1578A is a pulse-width modulator designed for use  
as a switching regulator controller. It may also be used in  
other applications which require controlled pulse-width volt-  
age drive.  
Level Shift Accuracy is tested by using two equal-value re-  
sistors to draw current from the inverting and non-inverting  
input terminals, then measuring the percentage difference in  
the voltages across the resistors that produces a controlled  
duty cycle at the switch output.  
A control signal, usually representing output voltage, fed into  
the LM1578A’s comparator is compared with an  
internally-generated reference. The resulting error signal  
and the oscillator’s output are fed to a logic network which  
determines when the output transistor will be turned ON or  
OFF. The following is a brief description of the subsections of  
the LM1578A.  
Collector Saturation Voltage: With the inverting input ter-  
minal grounded thru a 10 kresistor and the output transis-  
tor’s emitter connected to ground, the Collector Saturation-  
Voltage is the collector-to-emitter voltage for  
collector current.  
a given  
Emitter Saturation Voltage: With the inverting input termi-  
nal grounded thru a 10 kresistor and the output transistor’s  
collector connected to Vin, the Emitter Saturation Voltage is  
the collector-to-emitter voltage for a given emitter current.  
COMPARATOR INPUT STAGE  
The LM1578A’s comparator input stage is unique in that  
both the inverting and non-inverting inputs are available to  
the user, and both contain a 1.0V reference. This is accom-  
plished as follows: A 1.0V reference is fed into a modified  
voltage follower circuit (see FUNCTIONAL DIAGRAM).  
When both input pins are open, no current flows through R1

and R2. Thus, both inputs to the comparator will have the po-  
tential of the 1.0V reference, VA. When one input, for ex-  
ample the non-inverting input, is pulled V away from VA, a  
current of V/R1 will flow through R1. This same current  
flows through R2, and the comparator sees a total voltage of  
2V between its inputs. The high gain of the system, through  
feedback, will correct for this imbalance and return both in-  
puts to the 1.0V level.  
CURRENT LIMIT  
As mentioned in the functional description, the current limit  
terminal may be referenced to either the Vin or the ground  
terminal. Resistor R3 converts the current to be sensed into  
a voltage for current limit detection.  
This unusual comparator input stage increases circuit flex-  
ibility, while minimizing the total number of external compo-  
nents required for a voltage regulator system. The inverting  
switching regulator configuration, for example, can be set up  
without having to use an external op amp for feedback polar-  
ity reversal (see TYPICAL APPLICATIONS).  
OSCILLATOR  
The LM1578A provides an on-board oscillator which can be  
adjusted up to 100 kHz. Its frequency is set by a single exter-  
nal capacitor, C1, as shown in Figure 1, and follows the  
equation

CURRENT LIMIT TRANSIENT SUPPRESSION  
FIGURE 1. Value of Timing Capacitor vs  
Oscillator Frequency  
When noise spikes and switching transients interfere with  
proper current limit operation, R1 and C1 act together as a  
low pass filter to control the current limit circuitry’s response  
time.  
OUTPUT TRANSISTOR  
The output transistor is capable of delivering up to 750 mA  
with a saturation voltage of less than 0.9V. (see Collector  
Saturation Voltage and Emitter Saturation Voltage curves).  
Because the sense current of the current limit terminal varies  
according to where it is referenced, R1 should be less  
than 2 kwhen referenced to ground, and less than 100Ω  
The emitter must not be pulled more than 1V below ground  
(this limit is 0.6V for TJ 100˚C). Because of this limit, an ex-  
ternal transistor must be used to develop negative output  
voltages (see the Inverting Regulator Typical Application).  
Other configurations may need protection against violation  
of this limit (see the Emitter Output section of the Applica-  
tions Information).  
when referenced to Vin  
.
CURRENT LIMIT  
The LM1578A’s current limit may be referenced to either the  
ground or the Vin pins, and operates on a cycle-by-cycle ba-  
sis.  
The current limit section consists of two comparators: one  
with its non-inverting input referenced to a voltage 110 mV  
below Vin, the other with its inverting input referenced  
110 mV above ground (see FUNCTIONAL DIAGRAM). The  
current limit is activated whenever the current limit terminal  
is pulled 110 mV away from either Vin or ground.

non-inverting input than is sunk by the parallel combination  
of R1 and R2 at the inverting terminal. R3 should be one-fifth  
of the value of R1 and R2 in parallel.

C.L. SENSE VOLTAGE MULTIPLICATION  
DS008711-22  
When a larger sense resistor value is desired, the voltage di-  
vider network, consisting of R1 and R2, may be used. This  
effectively multiplies the sense voltage by (1 + R1/R2). Also,  
R1 can be replaced by a diode to increase current limit  
sense voltage to about 800 mV (diode Vf + 110 mV).  
FIGURE 8. Under-Voltage Lockout  
MAXIMUM DUTY CYCLE LIMITING  
The maximum duty cycle can be externally limited by adjust-  
ing the charge to discharge ratio of the oscillator capacitor  
with a single external resistor. Typical values are 50 µA for  
the charge current, 450 µA for the discharge current, and a  
voltage swing from 200 mV to 750 mV. Therefore, R1 is se-  
lected for the desired charging and discharging slopes and  
C1 is readjusted to set the oscillator frequency.

FIGURE 9. Maximum Duty Cycle Limiting  
DUTY CYCLE ADJUSTMENT  
When manual or mechanical selection of the output transis-  
tor’s duty cycle is needed, the cirucit shown below may be  
used. The output will turn on with the beginning of each os-  
cillator cycle and turn off when the current sunk by R2 and  
R3 from the non-inverting terminal becomes greater than the  
current sunk from the inverting terminal.  
With the resistor values as shown, R3 can be used to adjust  
the duty cycle from 0% to 90%.  
DS008711-20  
FIGURE 7. Current Limit Sense Voltage Multiplication,  
Vin Referred  
When the sum of R2 and R3 is twice the value of R1, the  
duty cycle will be about 50%. C1 may be a large electrolytic  
capacitor to lower the oscillator frequency below 1 Hz.  
UNDER-VOLTAGE LOCKOUT  
Under-voltage lockout is accomplished with few external  
components. When Vin becomes lower than the zener  
breakdown voltage, the output transistor is turned off. This  
occurs because diode D1 will then become forward biased,  
allowing resistor R3 to sink  
a greater current from the

FIGURE 10. Duty Cycle Adjustment  
REMOTE SHUTDOWN  
SYNCHRONIZING DEVICES  
The LM1578A may be remotely shutdown by sinking a  
greater current from the non-inverting input than from the in-  
verting input. This may be accomplished by selecting resistor  
R3 to be approximately one-half the value of R1 and R2 in  
parallel.  
When several devices are to be operated at once, their oscil-  
lators may be synchronized by the application of an external  
signal. This drive signal should be a pulse waveform with a  
minimum pulse width of 2 µs. and an amplitude from 1.5V to  
2.0V. The signal source must be capable of 1.) driving ca-  
pacitive loads and 2.) delivering up to 500 µA for each  
LM1578A.  
Capacitors C1 thru CN are to be selected for a 20% slower  
frequency than the synchronization frequency.

FIGURE 11. Shutdown Occurs when VL is High  
FIGURE 13. Synchronizing Devices  
EMITTER OUTPUT  
Typical Applications  
When the LM1578A output transistor is in the OFF state, if  
the Emitter output swings below the ground pin voltage, the  
output transistor will turn ON because its base is clamped  
near ground. The Collector Current with Emitter Output Be-  
low Ground curve shows the amount of Collector current  
drawn in this mode, vs temperature and Emitter voltage.  
When the Collector-Emitter voltage is high, this current will  
cause high power dissipation in the output transistor and  
should be avoided.  
The LM1578A may be operated in either the continuous or  
the discontinuous conduction mode. The following applica-  
tions (except for the Buck-Boost Regulator) are designed for  
continuous conduction operation. That is, the inductor cur-  
rent is not allowed to fall to zero. This mode of operation has  
higher efficiency and lower EMI characteristics than the dis-  
continuous mode.  
BUCK REGULATOR  
This situation can occur in the high-current high-voltage  
buck application if the Emitter output is used and the catch  
The buck configuration is used to step an input voltage down  
to a lower level. Transistor Q1 in Figure 14 chops the input  
DC voltage into a squarewave. This squarewave is then con-  
verted back into a DC voltage of lower magnitude by the low  
pass filter consisting of L1 and C1. The duty cycle, D, of the  
squarewave relates the output voltage to the input voltage by  
the following equation:  
diode’s forward voltage drop is greater than 0.6V.  
A
fast-recovery diode can be added in series with the Emitter  
output to counter the forward voltage drop of the catch diode  
(see Figure 2). For better efficiency of a high output current  
buck regulator, an external PNP transistor should be used as  
shown in Figure 16.

% IOUT” and “IL(max, DC)” find the point where the desired  
maximum inductor current, IL(max, DC) intercepts the desired  
discontinuity percentage.

In this example, the point of interest is where the 0.35A line

of Io(max), the load current must not be allowed to fall below

horizontal axis.  
Step 4: This last step is merely the translation of the point  
found in Step 3 to the graph directly below it. This is accom-  
plished by moving straight down the page to the point which  
intercepts the desired E-Top. For this example, E-Top is  
66V-µs and the desired inductor value is 470 µH. Since this  
example was for 20% discontinuity, the bottom chart could  
have been used directly, as noted in step 3 of the chart  
instructions.  
Step 1: Calculate the maximum DC current through the in-  
ductor, IL(max). The necessary equations are indicated at the

FIGURE 21. Inverting Regulator  
BUCK-BOOST REGULATOR  
RS-232 LINE DRIVER POWER SUPPLY  
The Buck-Boost Regulator, shown in Figure 22, may step a  
voltage up or down, depending upon whether or not the de-  
sired output voltage is greater or less than the input voltage.  
In this case, the output voltage is 12V with an input voltage  
from 9V to 15V. The circuit exhibits an efficiency of 75%, with  
a load regulation of 60 mV (10 mA to 100 mA) and a line  
regulation of 52 mV.  
The power supply, shown in Figure 23, operates from an in-  
put voltage as low as 4.2V (5V nominal), and delivers an out-  
±
±
put of 12V at 40 mA with better than 70% efficiency. The  
±
circuit provides a load regulation of 150 mV (from 10% to  
±
100% of full load) and a line regulation of 10 mV. Other no-  
table features include a cycle-by-cycle current limit and an  
output voltage ripple of less than 40 mVp-p.  
=
=
R1 (Vo − 1) R2 where R2 10 kΩ  
A unique feature of this circuit is its use of feedback from  
both outputs. This dual feedback configuration results in a  
sharing of the output voltage regulation by each output so  
that neither side becomes unbalanced as in single feedback  
systems. In addition, since both sides are regulated, it is not  
necessary to use a linear regulator for output regulation.

D1 and D2 are Schottky type diodes such as the 1N5818 or

Actually, the currents used to program the values for the  
feedback resistors may vary from 40 µA to 60 µA, as long as  
their sum is equal to the 100 µA necessary to establish the  
1V threshold across R1. Ideally, these currents should be  
equal (50 µA each) for optimal control. However, as was  
done here, they may be mismatched in order to use standard  
resistor values. This results in a slight mismatch of regulation  
between the two outputs.

Capacitor C1 sets the oscillator frequency and is selected  
from Figure 1.  
FIGURE 22. Buck-Boost Regulator  
Capacitor C2 serves as a compensation capacitor for syn-  
chronous operation and a value of 10 to 50 pF should be suf-  
ficient for most applications.  
A minimum value for an ideal output capacitor C3, could be  
=
calculated as C Io x t/V where Io is the load current, t is  
the transistor on time (typically 0.4/fosc), and V is the  
peak-to-peak output voltage ripple. A larger output capacitor  
than this theoretical value should be used since electrolytics  
have poor high frequency performance. Experience has  
shown that a value from 5 to 10 times the calculated value  
should be used.  
For good efficiency, the diodes must have a low forward volt-  
age drop and be fast switching. 1N5819 Schottky diodes  
work well.  
Transformer selection should be picked for an output transis-  
tor “on” time of 0.4/fosc, and a primary inductance high  
enough to prevent the output transistor switch from ramping  
higher than the transistor’s rating of 750 mA. Pulse Engi-  
neering (San Diego, Calif.) and Renco Electronics, Inc.  
(Deer Park, N.Y.) can provide further assistance in selecting  
the proper transformer for a specific application need. The  
transformer used in Figure 23 was a Pulse Engineering  
PE-64287.
