LM2671 Series Buck Regulator Design Procedure (Adjustable Output)
PROCEDURE (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
is available on (version 6.0)
Windows 3.1, NT, or 95 operating systems.
Given:
V
OUT
= Regulated Output Voltage
V
IN
(max) = Maximum Input Voltage
I
LOAD
(max) = Maximum Load Current
F = Switching Frequency (Fixed at a nominal 260 kHz).
1. Programming Output Voltage
(Selecting R
1
and R
2
, as
shown in Figure 3)
Use the following formula to select the appropriate resistor
values.
EXAMPLE (Adjustable Output Voltage Version)
Given:
V
OUT
= 20V
V
IN
(max) = 28V
I
LOAD
(max) = 500 mA
F = Switching Frequency (Fixed at a nominal 260 kHz).
1. Programming Output Voltage
(Selecting R
1
and R
2
, as
shown in Figure 3)
Select R
1
to be 1 k
, 1%. Solve for R
2
.
where V
REF
= 1.21V
Select a value for R
1
between 240
and 1.5 k
. 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 k
(16.53 1) = 15.53 k
, closest 1% value is 15.4 k
.
R
2
= 15.4 k
.
