LM2672 Series Buck Regulator Design Procedure (Adjustable Output)
PROCEDURE (Adjustable Output Voltage Version)
EXAMPLE (Adjustable Output Voltage Version)
To simplify the buck regulator design procedure, National
Semiconductor is making available computer design software to be
used with the SIMPLE SWITCHER line of switching regulators.
LM267X Made Simple
version 6.0 is available on Windows 3.1,
NT, or 95 operating systems.
Given:
V
OUT = Regulated Output Voltage
V
OUT = 20V
V
IN(max) = Maximum Input Voltage
V
IN(max) = 28V
I
LOAD(max) = Maximum Load Current
I
LOAD(max) = 1A
F = Switching Frequency (Fixed at a nominal 260 kHz).
1. Programming Output Voltage
(Selecting R
1 and R2, as shown
Use the following formula to select the appropriate resistor values.
1. Programming Output Voltage
(Selecting R
1 and R2, as shown
Select R
1 to be 1 kΩ, 1%. Solve for R2.
where V
REF = 1.21V
Select a value for R
1 between 240Ω and 1.5 kΩ. The lower resistor
values minimize noise pickup in the sensitive feedback pin. (For the
lowest temperature coefficient and the best stability with time, use
1% metal film resistors.)
R
2 = 1 kΩ (16.53 1) = 15.53 kΩ, closest 1% value is 15.4 kΩ.
R
2 = 15.4 kΩ.
2. Inductor Selection (L1)
A.
Calculate the inductor Volt microsecond constant E T
(V
μs), from the following formula:
2. Inductor Selection (L1)
A.
Calculate the inductor Volt microsecond constant (E T),
where V
SAT=internal switch saturation voltage=0.25V and
V
D = diode forward voltage drop = 0.5V
B.
Use the E T value from the previous formula and match it with
the E T number on the vertical axis of the Inductor Value Selection
B.
E T = 21.6 (V
μs)
C.
On the horizontal axis, select the maximum load current.
C.
I
LOAD(max) = 1A
D.
Identify the inductance region intersected by the E T value and
the Maximum Load Current value. Each region is identified by an
inductance value and an inductor code (LXX).
D.
From the inductor value selection guide shown in
Figure 7, the
inductance region intersected by the 21.6 (V
μs) horizontal line
and the 1A vertical line is 68
μH, and the inductor code is L30.
E.
Select an appropriate inductor from the four manufacturer's part
numbers listed in
Figure 8. For information on the different types of
inductors, see the inductor selection in the fixed output voltage
design procedure.
E.
From the table in
Figure 8, locate line L30, and select an inductor
part number from the list of manufacturers' part numbers.
3. Output Capacitor SeIection (C
OUT)
A.
Select an output capacitor from the capacitor code selection
guide in
Figure 16. Using the inductance value found in the inductor
selection guide, step 1, locate the appropriate capacitor code
corresponding to the desired output voltage.
3. Output Capacitor SeIection (C
OUT)
A.
Use the appropriate row of the capacitor code selection guide,
in
Figure 16. For this example, use the 15–20V row. The capacitor
code corresponding to an inductance of 68
μH is C20.
