TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Flyback Regulator
Multiple-output Regulator
Simple Boost Regulator
Forward Converter
Requiring a minimum number of external

components, these regulators are cost effective, and
simple to use. Included in the datasheet are typical
circuits of boost and flyback regulators. Also listed
are selector guides for diodes and capacitors and a
family of standard inductors and flyback transformers
designed to work with these switching regulators.
The power switch is a 3.0A NPN device that can
stand-off 65V. Protecting the power switch are current
and thermal limiting circuits, and an undervoltage
lockout circuit. This IC contains a 100 kHz fixedfrequency internal oscillator that permits the use of
small magnetics. Other features include soft start
mode to reduce in-rush current during start up,
current mode control for improved rejection of input
voltage and output load transients and cycle-by-cycle
current limiting. An output voltage tolerance of 4%,
within specified input voltages and output load
conditions, is specified for the power supply system.

Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating ratings indicate conditions the
device is intended to be functional, but device parameter specifications may not be specified under these conditions. For specifications
and test conditions see Electrical Characteristics (All Versions).
If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, please contact the Texas Instruments Sales Office/ Distributors for availability and
specifications.
Note that switch current and output current are not identical in a step-up regulator. Output current cannot be internally limited when the
LM2585 is used as a step-up regulator. To prevent damage to the switch, the output current must be externally limited to 3A. However,
output current is internally limited when the LM2585 is used as a flyback regulator (See Application Hints for more information).
The junction temperature of the device (TJ) is a function of the ambient temperature (TA), the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance
(JA), and the power dissipation of the device (PD). A thermal shutdown will occur if the temperature exceeds the maximum junction
temperature of the device: PD JA + TA(MAX) TJ(MAX). For a safe thermal design, check that the maximum power dissipated by the
device is less than: PD [TJ(MAX) TA(MAX))]/JA. When calculating the maximum allowable power dissipation, derate the maximum
junction temperaturethis ensures a margin of safety in the thermal design.

FLYBACK REGULATOR OPERATION

The LM2585 is ideally suited for use in the flyback regulator topology. The flyback regulator can produce a single
output voltage, such as the one shown in Figure 21, or multiple output voltages. In Figure 21, the flyback
regulator generates an output voltage that is inside the range of the input voltage. This feature is unique to
flyback regulators and cannot be duplicated with buck or boost regulators.
The operation of a flyback regulator is as follows (refer to Figure 21): when the switch is on, current flows
through the primary winding of the transformer, T1, storing energy in the magnetic field of the transformer. Note
that the primary and secondary windings are out of phase, so no current flows through the secondary when
current flows through the primary. When the switch turns off, the magnetic field collapses, reversing the voltage
polarity of the primary and secondary windings. Now rectifier D1 is forward biased and current flows through it,
releasing the energy stored in the transformer. This produces voltage at the output.
The output voltage is controlled by modulating the peak switch current. This is done by feeding back a portion of
the output voltage to the error amp, which amplifies the difference between the feedback voltage and a 1.230V
reference. The error amp output voltage is compared to a ramp voltage proportional to the switch current (i.e.,
inductor current during the switch on time). The comparator terminates the switch on time when the two voltages
are equal, thereby controlling the peak switch current to maintain a constant output voltage.
Figure 21. 12V Flyback Regulator Design Example

As shown in Figure 21, the LM2585 can be used as a flyback regulator by using a minimum number of external
components. The switching waveforms of this regulator are shown in Figure 22. Typical Performance

Step-Up (Boost) Regulator Operation

Figure 45 shows the LM2585 used as a step-up (boost) regulator. This is a switching regulator that produces an
output voltage greater than the input supply voltage.
A brief explanation of how the LM2585 Boost Regulator works is as follows (refer to Figure 45). When the NPN
switch turns on, the inductor current ramps up at the rate of VIN/L, storing energy in the inductor. When the
switch turns off, the lower end of the inductor flies above VIN, discharging its current through diode (D) into the
output capacitor (COUT) at a rate of (VOUT VIN)/L. Thus, energy stored in the inductor during the switch on time
is transferred to the output during the switch off time. The output voltage is controlled by adjusting the peak
switch current, as described in Flyback Regulator.
Figure 45. 12V Boost Regulator

By adding a small number of external components (as shown in Figure 45), the LM2585 can be used to produce
a regulated output voltage that is greater than the applied input voltage. The switching waveforms observed
during the operation of this circuit are shown in Figure 46. Typical performance of this regulator is shown in
Figure 47.

*The LM2585 will require a heat sink in these applications. The size of the heat sink will depend on the maximum
ambient temperature. To calculate the thermal resistance of the IC and the size of the heat sink needed, the HEAT
SINK/THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS in the Application Hints.
Application Hints
Figure 52. Boost Regulator

PROGRAMMING OUTPUT VOLTAGE
(SELECTING R1 AND R2)
Referring to the adjustable regulator in Figure 52, the output voltage is programmed by the resistors R1 and R2
by the following formula:
VOUT = VREF (1 + R1/R2)
where
VREF = 1.23V
(1)
Resistors R1 and R2 divide the output voltage down so that it can be compared with the 1.23V internal reference.
With R2 between 1k and 5k, R1 is:
R1 = R2 (VOUT/VREF 1)
where
VREF = 1.23V
(2)
For best temperature coefficient and stability with time, use 1% metal film resistors.
SHORT CIRCUIT CONDITION
Due to the inherent nature of boost regulators, when the output is shorted (Figure 52), current flows directly from
the input, through the inductor and the diode, to the output, bypassing the switch. The current limit of the switch
does not limit the output current for the entire circuit. To protect the load and prevent damage to the switch, the
current must be externally limited, either by the input supply or at the output with an external current limit circuit.
The external limit should be set to the maximum switch current of the device, which is 3A.

LM2585

In a flyback regulator application (Figure 53), using the standard transformers, the LM2585 will survive a short
circuit to the main output. When the output voltage drops to 80% of its nominal value, the frequency will drop to
25 kHz. With a lower frequency, off times are larger. With the longer off times, the transformer can release all of
its stored energy before the switch turns back on. Hence, the switch turns on initially with zero current at its
collector. In this condition, the switch current limit will limit the peak current, saving the device.
Figure 53. Flyback Regulator

FLYBACK REGULATOR INPUT CAPACITORS
A flyback regulator draws discontinuous pulses of current from the input supply. Therefore, there are two input
capacitors needed in a flyback regulator; one for energy storage and one for filtering (Figure 53). Both are
required due to the inherent operation of a flyback regulator. To keep a stable or constant voltage supply to the
LM2585, a storage capacitor (100 F) is required. If the input source is a rectified DC supply and/or the
application has a wide temperature range, the required rms current rating of the capacitor might be very large.
This means a larger value of capacitance or a higher voltage rating will be needed of the input capacitor. The
storage capacitor will also attenuate noise which may interfere with other circuits connected to the same input
supply voltage.
In addition, a small bypass capacitor is required due to the noise generated by the input current pulses. To
eliminate the noise, insert a 1.0 F ceramic capacitor between VIN and ground as close as possible to the device.
SWITCH VOLTAGE LIMITS
In a flyback regulator, the maximum steady-state voltage appearing at the switch, when it is off, is set by the
transformer turns ratio, N, the output voltage, VOUT, and the maximum input voltage, VIN (Max):
VSW(OFF) = VIN (Max) + (VOUT +VF)/N
where
VF is the forward biased voltage of the output diode and is 0.5V for Schottky diodes and 0.8V for ultra-fast
recovery diodes (typically).
(3)
In certain circuits, there exists a voltage spike, VLL, superimposed on top of the steady-state voltage (Figure 22,
waveform A). Usually, this voltage spike is caused by the transformer leakage inductance and/or the output
rectifier recovery time. To clamp the voltage at the switch from exceeding its maximum value, a transient
suppressor in series with a diode is inserted across the transformer primary (as shown in the circuit on the front
page and other flyback regulator circuits throughout the datasheet). The schematic in Figure 53 shows another
method of clamping the switch voltage. A single voltage transient suppressor (the SA51A) is inserted at the
switch pin. This method clamps the total voltage across the switch, not just the voltage across the primary.
21
LM2585
www.ti.com
If poor circuit layout techniques are used (see CIRCUIT LAYOUT GUIDELINES), negative voltage transients may
appear on the Switch pin (pin 4). Applying a negative voltage (with respect to the IC's ground) to any monolithic
IC pin causes erratic and unpredictable operation of that IC. This holds true for the LM2585 IC as well. When
used in a flyback regulator, the voltage at the Switch pin (pin 4) can go negative when the switch turns on. The
ringing voltage at the switch pin is caused by the output diode capacitance and the transformer leakage
inductance forming a resonant circuit at the secondary(ies). The resonant circuit generates the ringing voltage,
which gets reflected back through the transformer to the switch pin. There are two common methods to avoid this
problem. One is to add an RC snubber around the output rectifier(s), as in Figure 53. The values of the resistor
and the capacitor must be chosen so that the voltage at the Switch pin does not drop below 0.4V. The resistor
may range in value between 10 and 1 k, and the capacitor will vary from 0.001 F to 0.1 F. Adding a
snubber will (slightly) reduce the efficiency of the overall circuit.
The other method to reduce or eliminate the ringing is to insert a Schottky diode clamp between pins 4 and 3
(ground), also shown in Figure 53. This prevents the voltage at pin 4 from dropping below 0.4V. The reverse
voltage rating of the diode must be greater than the switch off voltage.
OUTPUT VOLTAGE LIMITATIONS
The maximum output voltage of a boost regulator is the maximum switch voltage minus a diode drop. In a
flyback regulator, the maximum output voltage is determined by the turns ratio, N, and the duty cycle, D, by the
equation:
VOUT N VIN D/(1 D)
(4)
The duty cycle of a flyback regulator is determined by the following equation:

(5)
Theoretically, the maximum output voltage can be as large as desiredjust keep increasing the turns ratio of the
transformer. However, there exists some physical limitations that prevent the turns ratio, and thus the output
voltage, from increasing to infinity. The physical limitations are capacitances and inductances in the LM2585
switch, the output diode(s), and the transformersuch as reverse recovery time of the output diode (mentioned
above).
Figure 54. Input Line Filter

NOISY INPUT LINE CONDITION
A small, low-pass RC filter should be used at the input pin of the LM2585 if the input voltage has an unusual
large amount of transient noise, such as with an input switch that bounces. The circuit in Figure 54 demonstrates
the layout of the filter, with the capacitor placed from the input pin to ground and the resistor placed between the
input supply and the input pin. Note that the values of RIN and CIN shown in the schematic are good enough for
most applications, but some readjusting might be required for a particular application. If efficiency is a major
concern, replace the resistor with a small inductor (say 10 H and rated at 100 mA).
22

STABILITY
All current-mode controlled regulators can suffer from an instability, known as subharmonic oscillation, if they
operate with a duty cycle above 50%. To eliminate subharmonic oscillations, a minimum value of inductance is
required to ensure stability for all boost and flyback regulators. The minimum inductance is given by:
where
VSAT is the switch saturation voltage and can be found in the Characteristic Curves.
(6)
Figure 55. Circuit Board Layout

CIRCUIT LAYOUT GUIDELINES
As in any switching regulator, layout is very important. Rapidly switching currents associated with wiring
inductance generate voltage transients which can cause problems. For minimal inductance and ground loops,
keep the length of the leads and traces as short as possible. Use single point grounding or ground plane
construction for best results. Separate the signal grounds from the power grounds (as indicated in Figure 55).
When using the Adjustable version, physically locate the programming resistors as near the regulator IC as
possible, to keep the sensitive feedback wiring short.
HEAT SINK/THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
In many cases, no heat sink is required to keep the LM2585 junction temperature within the allowed operating
range. For each application, to determine whether or not a heat sink will be required, the following must be
identified:
1) Maximum ambient temperature (in the application).
2) Maximum regulator power dissipation (in the application).
3) Maximum allowed junction temperature (125C for the LM2585). For a safe, conservative design, a
temperature approximately 15C cooler than the maximum junction temperature should be selected (110C).
4) LM2585 package thermal resistances JA and JC (given in the Electrical Characteristics).
Total power dissipated (PD) by the LM2585 can be estimated as follows:
where
VIN is the minimum input voltage

VOUT is the output voltage
23
LM2585
www.ti.com
N is the transformer turns ratio

D is the duty cycle
ILOAD is the maximum load current (and ILOAD is the sum of the maximum load currents for multiple-output
flyback regulators)
(7)
The duty cycle is given by:
where
VF is the forward biased voltage of the diode and is typically 0.5V for Schottky diodes and 0.8V for fast
recovery diodes
VSAT is the switch saturation voltage and can be found in the Characteristic Curves
(8)
When no heat sink is used, the junction temperature rise is:

TJ = PD JA.
(9)
Adding the junction temperature rise to the maximum ambient temperature gives the actual operating junction
temperature:
TJ = TJ + TA.
(10)
If the operating junction temperature exceeds the maximum junction temperatue in item 3 above, then a heat
sink is required. When using a heat sink, the junction temperature rise can be determined by the following:
TJ = PD (JC + Interface + Heat Sink)
(11)
Again, the operating junction temperature will be:

TJ = TJ + TA
(12)
As before, if the maximum junction temperature is exceeded, a larger heat sink is required (one that has a lower
thermal resistance).
Included in the Switchers Made Simple design software is a more precise (non-linear) thermal model that can
be used to determine junction temperature with different input-output parameters or different component values.
It can also calculate the heat sink thermal resistance required to maintain the regulator junction temperature
below the maximum operating temperature.
To further simplify the flyback regulator design procedure, Texas Instruments is making available computer
design software to be used with the Simple Switcher line of switching regulators. Switchers Made Simple
