1-A SIMPLE STEP-DOWN SWITCHING VOLTAGE REGULATORS

PROCEDURE (Adjustable Output)
EXAMPLE (Adjustable Output)
Known:
VOUT(Nom)
VOUT = 10 V
VIN(Max) = Maximum input voltage
VIN(Max) = 25 V
ILOAD(Max) = Maximum load current
ILOAD(Max) = 1 A
1. Programming Output Voltage (Selecting R1 and R2)
Referring to Fig. 2, VOUT is defined by:
Select R1 = 1 k
R2 = 1 (10/1.23 – 1) = 7.13 k
Select R2 = 7.15 k
(closest 1% value)
Choose a value for R1 between 1 k
and 5 k (use 1% metal-film
resistors for best temperature coefficient and stability over time).
2. Inductor Selection (L1)
A. Calculate the "set" volts-second (E
T) across L1:

NOTE: Along with ILOAD, the "set" volts-second (ET) constant
establishes the minimum energy storage requirement for the
inductor.

are given. The inductor chosen should be rated for operation at

52-kHz and have a current rating of at least 1.15 x ILOAD(Max) to

allow for the ripple current. The actual peak current in L1 (in normal
operation) can be calculated as follows:
RL1961 (Renco)
IL1(pk) = ILOAD(Max) + (VIN – VOUT) × ton/2L1
Where ton = VOUT/VIN × (1/fosc)
3. Output Capacitor Selection (COUT)
A. The TL2575 control loop has a two-pole two-zero frequency
A.COUT ≥ 7785 × 25/(10 × 470) [F]
response. The dominant pole-zero pair is established by COUT and
COUT ≥ 41.4 F
L1. To meet stability requirements, COUT must meet the following

requirement:
COUT = 220 F electrolytic
However, COUT may need to be several times larger than the
calculated value above in order to achieve an acceptable output
ripple voltage of ~0.01
× V
OUT.
B. COUT should have a voltage rating of at least 1.5 × VOUT. But if a
low output ripple voltage is desired, choose capacitors with a higher
voltage ratings than the minimum required due to their typically
lower ESRs.
4. Catch Diode Selection (D1) (see Table 1) A. In normal operation, the catch diode requires a current rating of

at least 1.2
× I
LOAD(Max). For the most robust design, D1 should be
rated for a current equal to the TL2575 maximum switch peak
current; this represents the worst-case scenario of a continuous
short at VOUT.
B. The diode requires a reverse voltage rating of at least

HER302)
5. Input Capacitor (CIN)
An aluminum electrolytic or tantalum capacitor is needed for input
CIN = 100 F, 35 V, aluminum electrolytic
bypassing. Locate CIN as close to VIN and GND pins as possible.
