5A Flyback Regulator

LM2587 SIMPLE SWITCHER 5A Flyback Regulator

April 1998

General Description

The LM2587 series of regulators are monolithic integrated
circuits specifically designed for flyback, step-up (boost), and
forward converter applications. The device is available in 4
different output voltage versions: 3.3V, 5.0V,12V,andadjust­able.

Requiring a minimum number of external components,these
regulators are cost effective, and simple to use. Included in
the datasheet are typical circuits of boostandflybackregula­tors.Alsolistedare 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 5.0A 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 fixed-frequency internal oscillator that
permits the use of small magnetics. Other features include
soft start mode to reducein-rush current during start up, cur­rent mode control forimproved rejection of input voltage and
output load transients and cycle-by-cycle current limiting.An
output voltage tolerance of
ages and output load conditions, is guaranteedforthepower
supply system.

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: Note that switch current and output current are not identical in a step-up regulator. Output current cannot be internally limited when the LM2587 is used as
a step-up regulator. To prevent damage to the switch, the output current must be externally limited to 5A. However, output current is internally limited when the
LM2587 is used as a flyback regulator (see the Application Hints section for more information).
