LM2673  
SIMPLE SWITCHER® 3A Step-Down Voltage Regulator  
with Adjustable Current Limit  
General Description  
Features  
n Efficiency up to 94%  
The LM2673 series of regulators are monolithic integrated  
circuits which provide all of the active functions for a step-  
down (buck) switching regulator capable of driving up to 3A  
loads with excellent line and load regulation characteristics.  
n Simple and easy to design with (using off-the-shelf  
external components)  
n
Resistor programmable peak current limit over a range  
of 2A to 5A.  
>
High efficiency ( 90%) is obtained through the use of a low  
ON-resistance DMOS power switch. The series consists of  
fixed output voltages of 3.3V, 5V and 12V and an adjustable  
output version.  
n 150 mDMOS output switch  
n 3.3V, 5V and 12V fixed output and adjustable (1.2V to  
37V ) versions  
The SIMPLE SWITCHER concept provides for a complete  
design using a minimum number of external components. A  
high fixed frequency oscillator (260KHz) allows the use of  
physically smaller sized components. A family of standard  
inductors for use with the LM2673 are available from several  
manufacturers to greatly simplify the design process.  
n
2%maximum output tolerance over full line and load  
conditions  
n Wide input voltage range: 8V to 40V  
n 260 KHz fixed frequency internal oscillator  
n Softstart capability  
n −40 to +125˚C operating junction temperature range  
Other features include the ability to reduce the input surge  
current at power-ON by adding a softstart timing capacitor to  
gradually turn on the regulator. The LM2673 series also has  
built in thermal shutdown and resistor programmable current  
limit of the power MOSFET switch to protect the device and  
load circuitry under fault conditions. The output voltage is  
guaranteed to a 2% tolerance. The clock frequency is  
controlled to within a 11% tolerance.

CURRENT ADJUST  
Application Hints  
A key feature of the LM2673 is the ability to tailor the peak  
switch current limit to a level required by a particular appli-  
cation. This alleviates the need to use external components  
that must be physically sized to accommodate current levels  
(under shorted output conditions for example) that may be  
much higher than the normal circuit operating current re-  
quirements.  
The LM2673 provides all of the active functions required for  
a step-down (buck) switching regulator. The internal power  
switch is a DMOS power MOSFET to provide power supply  
designs with high current capability, up to 3A, and highly  
efficient operation.  
The LM2673 is part of the SIMPLE SWITCHER family of  
power converters. A complete design uses a minimum num-  
ber of external components, which have been pre-  
determined from a variety of manufacturers. Using either this  
data sheet or a design software program called LM267X  
Made Simple (version 2.0) a complete switching power  
supply can be designed quickly. The software is provided  
free of charge and can be downloaded from National Semi-  
conductor’s Internet site located at http://www.national.com.  
A resistor connected from pin 5 to ground establishes a  
current (I(pin  
= 1.2V / RADJ) that sets the peak current  
5)  
through the power switch. The maximum switch current is  
fixed at a level of 37,125 / RADJ  
.
FEEDBACK  
This is the input to a two-stage high gain amplifier, which  
drives the PWM controller. It is necessary to connect pin 6 to  
the actual output of the power supply to set the dc output  
voltage. For the fixed output devices (3.3V, 5V and 12V  
outputs), a direct wire connection to the output is all that is  
required as internal gain setting resistors are provided inside  
the LM2673. For the adjustable output version two external  
resistors are required to set the dc output voltage. For stable  
operation of the power supply it is important to prevent  
coupling of any inductor flux to the feedback input.  
SWITCH OUTPUT  
This is the output of a power MOSFET switch connected  
directly to the input voltage. The switch provides energy to  
an inductor, an output capacitor and the load circuitry under  
control of an internal pulse-width-modulator (PWM). The  
PWM controller is internally clocked by a fixed 260KHz  
oscillator. In a standard step-down application the duty cycle  
(Time ON/Time OFF) of the power switch is proportional to  
the ratio of the power supply output voltage to the input  
voltage. The voltage on pin 1 switches between Vin (switch  
ON) and below ground by the voltage drop of the external  
Schottky diode (switch OFF).  
SOFTSTART  
A capacitor connected from pin 7 to ground allows for a slow  
turn-on of the switching regulator. The capacitor sets a time  
delay to gradually increase the duty cycle of the internal  
power switch. This can significantly reduce the amount of  
surge current required from the input supply during an abrupt  
application of the input voltage. If softstart is not required this  
pin should be left open circuited.  
INPUT  
The input voltage for the power supply is connected to pin 2.  
In addition to providing energy to the load the input voltage  
also provides bias for the internal circuitry of the LM2673.  
For guaranteed performance the input voltage must be in the  
range of 8V to 40V. For best performance of the power  
supply the input pin should always be bypassed with an input  
capacitor located close to pin 2.  
DAP (LLP PACKAGE)  
The Die Attach Pad (DAP) can and should be connected to  
PCB Ground plane/island. For CAD and assembly guide-  
lines refer to Application Note AN-1187 at http://  
power.national.com.  
C BOOST  
A capacitor must be connected from pin 3 to the switch  
output, pin 1. This capacitor boosts the gate drive to the  
internal MOSFET above Vin to fully turn it ON. This mini-  
mizes conduction losses in the power switch to maintain high  
efficiency. The recommended value for C Boost is 0.01µF.  
GROUND  
This is the ground reference connection for all components  
in the power supply. In fast-switching, high-current applica-  
tions such as those implemented with the LM2673, it is  
recommended that a broad ground plane be used to mini-  
mize signal coupling throughout the circuit

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS  
10091323  
FIGURE 1. Basic circuit for fixed output voltage applications.  
10091324  
FIGURE 2. Basic circuit for adjustable output voltage applications  
Power supply design using the LM2673 is greatly simplified  
by using recommended external components. A wide range  
of inductors, capacitors and Schottky diodes from several  
manufacturers have been evaluated for use in designs that  
cover the full range of capabilities (input voltage, output  
voltage and load current) of the LM2673. A simple design  
procedure using nomographs and component tables pro-  
vided in this data sheet leads to a working design with very  
little effort. Alternatively, the design software, LM267X Made  
Simple (version 6.0), can also be used to provide instant  
component selection, circuit performance calculations for  
evaluation, a bill of materials component list and a circuit  
schematic.  
son of component specifications, equivalent devices from  
other manufacturers could be substituted for use in an ap-  
plication.  
Important considerations for each external component and  
an explanation of how the nomographs and selection tables  
were developed follows.  
INDUCTOR  
The inductor is the key component in a switching regulator.  
For efficiency the inductor stores energy during the switch  
ON time and then transfers energy to the load while the  
switch is OFF.  
Nomographs are used to select the inductance value re-  
quired for a given set of operating conditions. The nomo-  
graphs assume that the circuit is operating in continuous  
mode (the current flowing through the inductor never falls to  
zero). The magnitude of inductance is selected to maintain a  
The individual components from the various manufacturers  
called out for use are still just a small sample of the vast  
array of components available in the industry. While these  
components are recommended, they are not exclusively the  
only components for use in a design. After a close compari-

greater than this ripple current. The voltage rating of the  
output capacitor should be greater than 1.3 times the maxi-  
mum output voltage of the power supply. If operation of the  
system at elevated temperatures is required, the capacitor  
voltage rating may be de-rated to less than the nominal room  
temperature rating. Careful inspection of the manufacturer’s  
specification for de-rating of working voltage with tempera-  
ture is important.  
Application Hints (Continued)  
maximum ripple current of 30% of the maximum load cur-  
rent. If the ripple current exceeds this 30% limit the next  
larger value is selected.  
The inductors offered have been specifically manufactured  
to provide proper operation under all operating conditions of  
input and output voltage and load current. Several part types  
are offered for a given amount of inductance. Both surface  
mount and through-hole devices are available. The inductors  
from each of the three manufacturers have unique charac-  
teristics.  
INPUT CAPACITOR  
Fast changing currents in high current switching regulators  
place a significant dynamic load on the unregulated power  
source. An input capacitor helps to provide additional current  
to the power supply as well as smooth out input voltage  
variations.  
Renco: ferrite stick core inductors; benefits are typically  
lowest cost and can withstand ripple and transient peak  
currents above the rated value. These inductors have an  
external magnetic field, which may generate EMI.  
Like the output capacitor, the key specifications for the input  
capacitor are RMS current rating and working voltage. The  
RMS current flowing through the input capacitor is equal to  
one-half of the maximum dc load current so the capacitor  
should be rated to handle this. Paralleling multiple capacitors  
proportionally increases the current rating of the total capaci-  
tance. The voltage rating should also be selected to be 1.3  
times the maximum input voltage. Depending on the unregu-  
lated input power source, under light load conditions the  
maximum input voltage could be significantly higher than  
normal operation and should be considered when selecting  
an input capacitor.  
Pulse Engineering: powdered iron toroid core inductors;  
these also can withstand higher than rated currents and,  
being toroid inductors, will have low EMI.  
Coilcraft: ferrite drum core inductors; these are the smallest  
physical size inductors and are available only as surface  
mount components. These inductors also generate EMI but  
less than stick inductors.  
OUTPUT CAPACITOR  
The output capacitor acts to smooth the dc output voltage  
and also provides energy storage. Selection of an output  
capacitor, with an associated equivalent series resistance  
(ESR), impacts both the amount of output ripple voltage and  
stability of the control loop.  
The input capacitor should be placed very close to the input  
pin of the LM2673. Due to relative high current operation  
with fast transient changes, the series inductance of input  
connecting wires or PCB traces can create ringing signals at  
the input terminal which could possibly propagate to the  
output or other parts of the circuitry. It may be necessary in  
some designs to add a small valued (0.1µF to 0.47µF)  
ceramic type capacitor in parallel with the input capacitor to  
prevent or minimize any ringing.  
The output ripple voltage of the power supply is the product  
of the capacitor ESR and the inductor ripple current. The  
capacitor types recommended in the tables were selected  
for having low ESR ratings.  
In addition, both surface mount tantalum capacitors and  
through-hole aluminum electrolytic capacitors are offered as  
solutions.  
CATCH DIODE  
When the power switch in the LM2673 turns OFF, the current  
through the inductor continues to flow. The path for this  
current is through the diode connected between the switch  
output and ground. This forward biased diode clamps the  
switch output to a voltage less than ground. This negative  
voltage must be greater than −1V so a low voltage drop  
(particularly at high current levels) Schottky diode is recom-  
mended. Total efficiency of the entire power supply is signifi-  
cantly impacted by the power lost in the output catch diode.  
The average current through the catch diode is dependent  
on the switch duty cycle (D) and is equal to the load current  
times (1-D). Use of a diode rated for much higher current  
than is required by the actual application helps to minimize  
the voltage drop and power loss in the diode.  
Impacting frequency stability of the overall control loop, the  
output capacitance, in conjunction with the inductor, creates  
a double pole inside the feedback loop. In addition the  
capacitance and the ESR value create a zero. These fre-  
quency response effects together with the internal frequency  
compensation circuitry of the LM2673 modify the gain and  
phase shift of the closed loop system.  
As a general rule for stable switching regulator circuits it is  
desired to have the unity gain bandwidth of the circuit to be  
limited to no more than one-sixth of the controller switching  
frequency. With the fixed 260KHz switching frequency of the  
LM2673, the output capacitor is selected to provide a unity  
gain bandwidth of 40KHz maximum. Each recommended  
capacitor value has been chosen to achieve this result.  
During the switch ON time the diode will be reversed biased  
by the input voltage. The reverse voltage rating of the diode  
should be at least 1.3 times greater than the maximum input  
voltage.  
In some cases multiple capacitors are required either to  
reduce the ESR of the output capacitor, to minimize output  
ripple (a ripple voltage of 1% of Vout or less is the assumed  
performance condition), or to increase the output capaci-  
tance to reduce the closed loop unity gain bandwidth (to less  
than 40KHz). When parallel combinations of capacitors are  
required it has been assumed that each capacitor is the  
exact same part type.

The boost capacitor creates a voltage used to overdrive the  
gate of the internal power MOSFET. This improves efficiency  
by minimizing the on resistance of the switch and associated  
power loss. For all applications it is recommended to use a  
0.01µF/50V ceramic capacitor.  
The RMS current and working voltage (WV) ratings of the  
output capacitor are also important considerations. In a typi-  
cal step-down switching regulator, the inductor ripple current  
(set to be no more than 30% of the maximum load current by  
the inductor selection) is the current that flows through the  
output capacitor. The capacitor RMS current rating must be  
RADJ, ADJUSTABLE CURRENT LIMIT  
A key feature of the LM2673 is the ability to control the peak  
switch current. Without this feature the peak switch current  
would be internally set to 5A or higher to accommodate 3A  
load current designs. This requires that both the inductor

2. However, the current limit block is also designed to  
momentarily reduce the duty cycle to below 50% to  
avoid subharmonic oscillations, which could cause the  
inductor to saturate.  
Application Hints (Continued)  
(which could saturate with excessively high currents) and the  
catch diode be able to safely handle up to 5A which would be  
conducted under load fault conditions.  
3. Thereafter, once the inductor current falls below the  
current limit threshold, there is a small relaxation time  
during which the duty cycle progressively rises back  
above 50% to the value required to achieve regulation.  
If an application only requires a load current of 2A or so the  
peak switch current can be set to a limit just over the maxi-  
mum load current with the addition of a single programming  
resistor. This allows the use of less powerful and more cost  
effective inductors and diodes.  
If the output capacitance is sufficiently ‘large’, it may be  
possible that as the output tries to recover, the output ca-  
pacitor charging current is large enough to repeatedly re-  
trigger the current limit circuit before the output has fully  
settled. This condition is exacerbated with higher output  
voltage settings because the energy requirement of the out-  
put capacitor varies as the square of the output voltage  
The peak switch current is equal to a factor of 37,125 divided  
by RADJ. A resistance of 8.2Ksets the current limit to  
typically 4.5A. For predictable control of the current limit it is  
recommended to keep the peak switch current greater than  
1A. For lower current applications 500mA and 1A switching  
regulators, the LM2674 and LM2672, are available.  
(1⁄ CV2), thus requiring an increased charging current.

When the power switch reaches the current limit threshold it  
is immediately turned OFF and the internal switching fre-  
quency is reduced. This extends the OFF time of the switch  
to prevent a steady state high current condition. As the  
switch current falls below the current limit threshold, the  
switch will turn back ON. If a load fault continues, the switch  
will again exceed the threshold and switch back OFF. This  
will result in a low duty cycle pulsing of the power switch to  
minimize the overall fault condition power dissipation.  
A simple test to determine if this condition might exist for a  
suspect application is to apply a short circuit across the  
output of the converter, and then remove the shorted output  
condition. In an application with properly selected external  
components, the output will recover smoothly.  
Practical values of external components that have been  
experimentally found to work well under these specific oper-  
ating conditions are COUT = 47µF, L = 22µH. It should be  
noted that even with these components, for a device’s cur-  
rent limit of ICLIM, the maximum load current under which the  
possibility of the large current limit hysteresis can be mini-  
mized is ICLIM/2. For example, if the input is 24V and the set  
output voltage is 18V, then for a desired maximum current of  
1.5A, the current limit of the chosen switcher must be con-  
firmed to be at least 3A.  
Css SOFTSTART CAPACITOR  
This optional capacitor controls the rate at which the LM2673  
starts up at power on. The capacitor is charged linearly by an  
internal current source. This voltage ramp gradually in-  
creases the duty cycle of the power switch until it reaches  
the normal operating duty cycle defined primarily by the ratio  
of the output voltage to the input voltage. The softstart  
turn-on time is programmable by the selection of Css.  
SIMPLE DESIGN PROCEDURE  
Using the nomographs and tables in this data sheet (or use  
the available design software at http://www.national.com) a  
complete step-down regulator can be designed in a few  
simple steps.  
The formula for selecting a softstart capacitor is:  
Step 1: Define the power supply operating conditions:  
Required output voltage  
Where:  
Maximum DC input voltage  
ISST = Softstart Current, 3.7µA typical  
Maximum output load current  
tSS = Softstart time, from design requirements  
VSST = Softstart Threshold Voltage, 0.63V typical  
VOUT = Output Voltage, from design requirements  
VSCHOTTKY = Schottky Diode Voltage Drop, typically 0.5V  
VIN = Maximum Input Voltage, from design requirements  
Step 2: Set the output voltage by selecting a fixed output  
LM2673 (3.3V, 5V or 12V applications) or determine the  
required feedback resistors for use with the adjustable  
LM2673−ADJ  
Step 3: Determine the inductor required by using one of the  
four nomographs, Figure 3 through Figure 6. Table 1 pro-  
vides a specific manufacturer and part number for the induc-  
tor.  
If this feature is not desired, leave the Softstart pin (pin 7)  
open circuited  
ADDITIONAL APPLICATION INFORMATION  
Step 4: Using Table 3 (fixed output voltage) or Table 6  
(adjustable output voltage), determine the output capaci-  
tance required for stable operation. Table 2 provides the  
specific capacitor type from the manufacturer of choice.  
When the output voltage is greater than approximately 6V,  
and the duty cycle at minimum input voltage is greater than  
approximately 50%, the designer should exercise caution in  
selection of the output filter components. When an applica-  
tion designed to these specific operating conditions is sub-  
jected to a current limit fault condition, it may be possible to  
observe a large hysteresis in the current limit. This can affect  
the output voltage of the device until the load current is  
reduced sufficiently to allow the current limit protection circuit  
to reset itself.  
Step 5: Determine an input capacitor from Table 4 for fixed  
output voltage applications. Use Table 2 to find the specific  
capacitor type. For adjustable output circuits select a capaci-  
tor from Table 2 with a sufficient working voltage (WV) rating  
greater than Vin max, and an rms current rating greater than  
one-half the maximum load current (2 or more capacitors in  
parallel may be required).  
Under current limiting conditions, the LM267x is designed to  
respond in the following manner:  
Step 6: Select a diode from Table 5. The current rating of the  
diode must be greater than I load max and the Reverse  
Voltage rating must be greater than Vin max.  
1. At the moment when the inductor current reaches the  
current limit threshold, the ON-pulse is immediately ter-  
minated. This happens for any application condition.

t
SS: 50mS  
Application Hints (Continued)  
Step 7: Include a 0.01µF/50V capacitor for Cboost in the  
design and then determine the value of a softstart capacitor  
if desired.  
VSST: 0.63V  
VOUT: 3.3V  
VSCHOTTKY: 0.5V  
VIN: 16V  
Step 8: Define a value for RADJ to set the peak switch  
current limit to be at least 20% greater than Iout max to allow  
for at least 30% inductor ripple current ( 15% of Iout). For  
designs that must operate over the full temperature range  
the switch current limit should be set to at least 50% greater  
than Iout max (1.5 x Iout max).  
Using Vin max ensures that the softstart delay time will be at  
least the desired 50mS.  
Using the formula for Css a value of 0.148µF is determined  
to be required. Use of a standard value 0.22µF capacitor will  
produce more than sufficient softstart delay.  
FIXED OUTPUT VOLTAGE DESIGN EXAMPLE  
Step 8: Determine a value for RADJ to provide a peak switch  
current limit of at least 2.5A plus 50% or 3.75A.  
A system logic power supply bus of 3.3V is to be generated  
from a wall adapter which provides an unregulated DC volt-  
age of 13V to 16V. The maximum load current is 2.5A. A  
softstart delay time of 50mS is desired. Through-hole com-  
ponents are preferred.  
Use a value of 10K.  
ADJUSTABLE OUTPUT DESIGN EXAMPLE  
Step 1: Operating conditions are:  
Vout = 3.3V  
In this example it is desired to convert the voltage from a two  
battery automotive power supply (voltage range of 20V to  
28V, typical in large truck applications) to the 14.8VDC alter-  
nator supply typically used to power electronic equipment  
from single battery 12V vehicle systems. The load current  
required is 2A maximum. It is also desired to implement the  
power supply with all surface mount components. Softstart is  
not required.  
Vin max = 16V  
Iload max = 2.5A  
Step 2: Select an LM2673T-3.3. The output voltage will have  
a tolerance of  
2% at room temperature and 3% over the full operating  
temperature range.  
Step 3: Use the nomograph for the 3.3V device ,Figure 3.  
The intersection of the 16V horizontal line (Vin max) and the  
2.5A vertical line (Iload max) indicates that L33, a 22µH  
inductor, is required.  
Step 1: Operating conditions are:  
Vout = 14.8V  
Vin max = 28V  
From Table 1, L33 in a through-hole component is available  
from Renco with part number RL-1283-22-43 or part number  
PE-53933 from Pulse Engineering.  
Iload max = 2A  
Step 2: Select an LM2673S-ADJ. To set the output voltage  
to 14.9V two resistors need to be chosen (R1 and R2 in  
Figure 2). For the adjustable device the output voltage is set  
by the following relationship:  
Step 4: Use Table 3 to determine an output capacitor. With a  
3.3V output and a 33µH inductor there are four through-hole  
output capacitor solutions with the number of same type  
capacitors to be paralleled and an identifying capacitor code  
given. Table 2 provides the actual capacitor characteristics.  
Any of the following choices will work in the circuit:  
1 x 220µF/10V Sanyo OS-CON (code C5)  
1 x 1000µF/35V Sanyo MV-GX (code C10)  
1 x 2200µF/10V Nichicon PL (code C5)  
1 x 1000µF/35V Panasonic HFQ (code C7)  
Where VFB is the feedback voltage of typically 1.21V.  
A recommended value to use for R1 is 1K. In this example  
then R2 is determined to be:  
Step 5: Use Table 4 to select an input capacitor. With 3.3V  
output and 22µH there are three through-hole solutions.  
These capacitors provide a sufficient voltage rating and an  
rms current rating greater than 1.25A (1/2 Iload max). Again  
using Table 2 for specific component characteristics the  
following choices are suitable:  
R2 = 11.23KΩ  
The closest standard 1% tolerance value to use is 11.3KΩ  
This will set the nominal output voltage to 14.88V which is  
within 0.5% of the target value.  
1 x 1000µF/63V Sanyo MV-GX (code C14)  
1 x 820µF/63V Nichicon PL (code C24)  
1 x 560µF/50V Panasonic HFQ (code C13)  
Step 3: To use the nomograph for the adjustable device,  
Figure 6, requires  
a
calculation of the inductor  
Step 6: From Table 5 a 3A or more Schottky diode must be  
selected. The 20V rated diodes are sufficient for the appli-  
cation and for through-hole components two part types are  
suitable:  
Voltmicrosecond constant (ET expressed in VµS) from  
the following formula:  
1N5820  
SR302  
where VSAT is the voltage drop across the internal power  
switch which is Rds(ON) times Iload. In this example this would  
be typically 0.15x 2A or 0.3V and VD is the voltage drop  
across the forward bisased Schottky diode, typically 0.5V.  
Step 7: A 0.01µF capacitor will be used for Cboost. For the  
50mS softstart delay the following parameters are to be  
used:  
ISST: 3.7µA  
13  
www.national.com  
Step 5: An input capacitor for this example will require at  
least a 35V WV rating with an rms current rating of 1A (1/2  
Iout max). From Table 2 it can be seen that C12, a 33µF/35V  
capacitor from Sprague, has the required voltage/current  
rating of the surface mount components.  
Application Hints (Continued)  
The switching frequency of 260KHz is the nominal value to  
use to estimate the ON time of the switch during which  
energy is stored in the inductor.  
For this example ET is found to be:  
Step 6: From Table 5 a 3A Schottky diode must be selected.  
For surface mount diodes with a margin of safety on the  
voltage rating one of five diodes can be used:  
SK34  
30BQ040  
30WQ04F  
MBRS340  
Using Figure 6, the intersection of 27VµS horizontally and  
the 2A vertical line (Iload max) indicates that L38 , a 68µH  
inductor, should be used.  
MBRD340  
Step 7: A 0.01µF capacitor will be used for Cboost.  
The softstart pin will be left open circuited.  
From Table 1, L38 in a surface mount component is available  
from Pulse Engineering with part number PE-54038S.  
Step 8: Determine a value for RADJ to provide a peak switch  
current limit of at least 2A plus 50% or 3A.  
Step 4: Use Table 6 to determine an output capacitor. With a  
14.8V output the 12.5 to 15V row is used and with a 68µH  
inductor there are three surface mount output capacitor so-  
lutions. Table 2 provides the actual capacitor characteristics  
based on the C Code number. Any of the following choices  
can be used:  
Use a value of 12.4K.  
1 x 33µF/20V AVX TPS (code C6)  
1 x 47µF/20V Sprague 594 (code C8)  
1 x 47µF/20V Kemet T495 (code C8)  
LLP PACKAGE DEVICES  
The LM2673 is offered in the 14 lead LLP surface mount  
package to allow for a significantly decreased footprint with  
equivalent power dissipation compared to the TO-263. For  
details on mounting and soldering specifications, refer to  
Application Note AN-1187.  
Important Note: When using the adjustable device in low  
voltage applications (less than 3V output), if the nomograph,  
Figure 6, selects an inductance of 22µH or less, Table 6 does  
not provide an output capacitor solution. With these condi-  
tions the number of output capacitors required for stable  
operation becomes impractical. It is recommended to use  
either a 33µH or 47µH inductor and the output capacitors  
from Table 6.
