The initial switching frequency is set by the timing capacitor. (Oscillator frequency is set by a single external capacitor and may be varied over a range of 100 Hz to 100 kHz). The initial duty cycle is 6:1. This switching frequency and duty cycle can be modified by two mechanisms -- the current limit circuitry (Ipk sense) and the comparator. The comparator modifies the OFF time. When the output voltage is correct, the comparator output is in the HIGH state and has no effect on the circuit operation. If the output voltage is too high then the comparator output goes LOW. In the LOW state the comparator inhibits the turn-on of the output stage switching transistors. As long as the comparator is LOW the system is in OFF time. As the output current rises the OFF time decreases. As the output current nears its maximum the OFF time approaches its minimum value. The comparator can inhibit several ON cycles, one ON cycle or any portion of an ON cycle. Once the ON cycle has begun the comparator cannot inhibit until the beginning of the next ON cycle. The current limit modifies the ON time. The current limit is activated when a 300 mV potential appears between lead 13 (VCC) and lead 14 (Ipk). This potential is intended to result when designed for peak current flows through RSC. When the peak current is reached the current limit is turned on. The current limit circuitry provides for a quick end to ON time and the immediate start of OFF time. Generally the oscillator is free running but the current limit action tends to reset the timing cycle. Increasing load results in more current limited ON time and less OFF time. The switching frequency increases with load current. DS010057-3 FIGURE 1. Typical Step-Down Regulator and Operational Performance (TA = 25C) USING THE INTERNAL REFERENCE, DIODE, AND SWITCH The internal 1.245V reference (pin 8) must be bypassed, with 0.1 F directly to the ground pin (pin 11) of the LM78S40, to assure its stability. VFD is the forward voltage drop across the internal power diode. It is listed on the data sheet as 1.25V typical, 1.5V maximum. If an external diode is used, then its own forward voltage drop must be used for VFD. VSAT is the voltage across the switch element (output transistors Q1 and Q2) when the switch is closed or ON. This is listed on the data sheet as Output Saturation Voltage. "Output saturation voltage 1" is defined as the switching element voltage for Q2 and Q1 in the Darlington configuration with collectors tied together. This applies to Figure 1, the step down mode. "Output saturation voltage 2" is the switching element voltage for Q1 only when used as a transistor switch. This applies to Figure 2, the step up mode. For the inverting mode, Figure 3, the saturation voltage of the external transistor should be used for VSAT. www.national.com Characteristic Condition Typical Value Output Voltage IO = 200 mA Line Regulation 20V VI 30V 1.5 mV Load Regulation 5.0 mA IO 3.0 mV Max Output Current IO 300 mA VO = 9.5V 500 mA Output Ripple Efficiency Standby Current IO = 200 mA IO = 200 mA IO = 200 mA 10V 50 mV 74% 2.8 mA Note 7: For IO 200 mA use external diode to limit on-chip power dissipation. 6 Typical Applications (Continued) DS010057-4 DS010057-5 FIGURE 2.
