The LM1578A is a switching regulator which can easily be
set up for such DC-to-DC voltage conversion circuits as the
buck, boost, and inverting configurations. The LM1578A features a unique comparator input stage which not only has
separate pins for both the inverting and non-inverting inputs,
but also provides an internal 1.0V reference to each input,
thereby simplifying circuit design and p.c. board layout. The
output can switch up to 750 mA and has output pins for its
collector and emitter to promote design flexibility.An external
current limit terminal may be referenced to either the ground
or the V
tion, the LM1578A has an on board oscillator,which sets the
switching frequency with a single external capacitor from
Hz to 100 kHz (typical).
The LM1578A is an improved version of the LM1578, offering higher maximum ratings for the total supply voltage and
output transistor emitter and collector voltages.

Definition of Terms
Input Reference Voltage: The voltage (referred to ground)
that must be applied to either the inverting or non-inverting
input to cause the regulator switch to change state (ON or
OFF).
Input Reference Current: The current that must be drawn
from either the inverting or non-inverting input to cause the
regulator switch to change state (ON or OFF).
Input Level Shift Accuracy: This specification determines
the output voltagetoleranceof a regulator whose output control depends on drawing equal currents from the inverting
and non-inverting inputs (see the Inverting Regulator of
ure 21
, and the RS-232 Line Driver Power Supply of
23
).
Level Shift Accuracy is tested by using two equal-value resistors to draw current from the inverting and non-inverting
input terminals, then measuring the percentage difference in
the voltages across the resistors that produces a controlled
duty cycle at the switch output.
Collector Saturation Voltage: With the inverting input terminal grounded thru a 10 kΩ resistor and the output transistor’s emitter connected to ground, the Collector SaturationVoltage is the collector-to-emitter voltage for a given
collector current.
Emitter Saturation Voltage: With the inverting input terminal grounded thru a 10kΩresistor and the output transistor’s
collector connected to V
the collector-to-emitter voltage for a given emitter current.
, the Emitter Saturation Voltage is
in
CollectorEmitterSustainingVoltage:The
collector-emitter breakdown voltage of the output transistor,
measured at a specified current.

Current Limit Sense Voltage: The voltage at the Current
Limit pin, referred to either the supply or the ground terminal,
which (via logic circuitry) will cause the output transistor to
turn OFF and resets cycle-by-cycle at the oscillator frequency.
Current Limit Sense Current: The bias current for the Current Limit terminal with the applied voltage equal to the Current Limit Sense Voltage.
Supply Current: The IC power supply current, excluding the
current drawn through the output transistor, with the oscillator operating.
Functional Description
The LM1578A is a pulse-width modulator designed for use
as a switching regulator controller. It may also be used in
other applications which require controlled pulse-width voltage drive.
Acontrol signal, usually representing output voltage, fed into
the LM1578A’s comparator is compared with an
internally-generated reference. The resulting error signal
and the oscillator’s output are fed to a logic network which
determines when the output transistor will be turned ON or
OFF. The following isa brief description of the subsections of
the LM1578A.
COMPARATOR INPUT STAGE
The LM1578A’s comparator input stage is unique in that
both the inverting and non-inverting inputs are available to
the user, and both contain a 1.0V reference. This is accomplished as follows: A 1.0V reference is fed into a modified
voltage follower circuit (see FUNCTIONAL DIAGRAM).
When both input pins are open, no current flows through R1
