LM1577/LM2577 SIMPLE SWITCHER Step-Up Voltage Regulator
April 2005
General Description
The LM1577/LM2577 are monolithic integrated circuits that
provide all of the power and control functions for step-up
(boost), flyback, and forward converter switching regulators.
The device is available in three different output voltage
versions: 12V, 15V, and adjustable.
Requiring a minimum number of external components, these
regulators are cost effective, and simple to use. Listed in this
data sheet are a family of standard inductors and flyback
transformers designed to work with these switching regulators.
Included on the chip is a 3.0A NPN switch and its associated
protection circuitry, consisting of current and thermal limiting,
and undervoltage lockout. Other features include a 52 kHz
fixed-frequency oscillator that requires no external components, a soft start mode to reduce in-rush current during
start-up, and current mode control for improved rejection of
input voltage and output load transients.

Note 1: 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 guaranteed under these conditions. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the
Electrical Characteristics.
Note 2: Due to timing considerations of the LM1577/LM2577 current limit circuit, output current cannot be internally limited when the LM1577/LM2577 is used as
a step-up regulator. To prevent damage to the switch, its current must be externally limited to 6.0A. However, output current is internally limited when the
LM1577/LM2577 is used as a flyback or forward converter regulator in accordance to the Application Hints.
Note 3: All limits guaranteed at room temperature (standard type face) and at temperature extremes (boldface type). All limits are used to calculate Outgoing Quality
Level, and are 100% production tested.
Note 4: A military RETS electrical test specification is available on request. At the time of printing, the LM1577K-12/883, LM1577K-15/883, and LM1577K-ADJ/883
RETS specifications complied fully with the boldface limits in these columns. The LM1577K-12/883, LM1577K-15/883, and LM1577K-ADJ/883 may also be procured
to Standard Military Drawing specifications.
Note 5: All limits guaranteed at room temperature (standard type face) and at temperature extremes (boldface type). All room temperature limits are 100%
production tested. All limits at temperature extremes are guaranteed via correlation using standard Statistical Quality Control (SQC) methods.
Note 6: External components such as the diode, inductor, input and output capacitors can affect switching regulator performance. When the LM1577/LM2577 is
used as shown in the Test Circuit, system performance will be as specified by the system parameters.
Note 7: A 1.0 MΩ resistor is connected to the compensation pin (which is the error amplifier’s output) to ensure accuracy in measuring A
this pin’s load resistance should be ≥10 MΩ, resulting in A

that is typically twice the guaranteed minimum limit.
Note 8: Junction to ambient thermal resistance with approximately 1 square inch of pc board copper surrounding the leads. Additional copper area will lower thermal
resistance further. See thermal model in “Switchers Made Simple” software.
Note 9: If the TO-263 package is used, the thermal resistance can be reduced by increasing the PC board copper area thermally connected to the package. Using
0.5 square inches of copper area, θ
is 50˚C/W; with 1 square inch of copper area, θJAis 37˚C/W; and with 1.6 or more square inches of copper area, θJAis 32˚C/W.
