3 Description
The LM2586 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: 3.3 V, 5 V, 12 V, and adjustable.
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-A NPN device that can
stand-off 65 V. Protecting the power switch are
current and thermal limiting circuits, and an
undervoltage lockout circuit. This IC contains an
adjustable frequency oscillator that can be
programmed up to 200 kHz. The oscillator can also
be synchronized with other devices, so that multiple
devices can operate at the same switching frequency.
Other features include 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 and cycle-by-cycle current limiting.
The device also has a shutdown pin, so that it can be
turned off externally. An output voltage tolerance of
±4%, within specified input voltages and output load
conditions, is ensured for the power supply system.

(1) If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, contact the Texas Instruments Sales Office/ Distributors for availability and
specifications.
(2) Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. These ratings apply when the current is
limited to less than 1.2 mA for pins 1, 2, 3, and 6. Operating ratings indicate conditions for which the device is intended to be functional,
but device parameter specifications may not be ensured under these conditions. For ensured specifications and test conditions, see the
Electrical Characteristics.
(3) Note that switch current and output current are not identical in a step-up regulator. Output current cannot be internally limited when the
LM2586 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 LM2586 is used as a flyback regulator (see the section for more information).
(4) The junction temperature of the device (TJ) is a function of the ambient temperature (TA), the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance
(θJA), 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×θJA + 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)]/θJA. When calculating the maximum allowable power dissipation, derate the maximum
junction temperature—this ensures a margin of safety in the thermal design.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The LM2586 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: 3.3 V,
5 V, 12 V, and adjustable. 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.

For Adj. Version
R1 = Short (0Ω), R2 = Open
7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Flyback Regulator Operation
The LM2586 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 16, or multiple output voltages. In Figure 16, 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 16): 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.

Feature Description (continued)
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 (in
other words, 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.
As shown in Figure 16, the LM2586 can be used as a flyback regulator by using a minimum number of external
components. The switching waveforms of this regulator are shown in . Typical performance characteristics observed
during the operation of this circuit are shown in .

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.2 Step-Up (Boost) Regulator Operation
Figure 20 shows the LM2586 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 LM2586 boost regulator works is as follows (refer to Figure 20). 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 .
Figure 20. 12-V Boost Regulator
By adding a small number of external components (as shown in Figure 20), the LM2586 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 21. Typical performance of this regulator is shown in
Figure 22.

Feature Description (continued)
7.3.3 Programming Output Voltage (Selecting R1 And R2)
Referring to the adjustable regulator in Figure 26, 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.
7.3.4 Shutdown Control
A feature of the LM2586 is its ability to be shut down using the ON /OFF pin (pin 1). This feature conserves input
power by turning off the device when it is not in use. For proper operation, an isolation diode is required (as
shown in Figure 23).
The device will shut down when 3V or greater is applied on the ON /OFF pin, sourcing current into pin 1. In shut
down mode, the device will draw typically 56 μA of supply current (16 μA to VIN and 40 μA to the ON /OFF pin).
To turn the device back on, leave pin 1 floating, using an (isolation) diode, as shown in Figure 23 (for normal
operation, do not source or sink current to or from this pin—see the next section).
Figure 23. Shutdown Operation
7.3.5 Frequency Adjustment
The switching frequency of the LM2586 can be adjusted with the use of an external resistor. This feature allows
the user to optimize the size of the magnetics and the output capacitor(s) by tailoring the operating frequency. A
resistor connected from pin 1 (the Freq. Adj. pin) to ground will set the switching frequency from 100 kHz to 200
kHz (maximum). As shown in Figure 23, the pin can be used to adjust the frequency while still providing the
shutdown function. A curve in Typical Characteristics the resistor value to the corresponding switching frequency.
Table 1 shows resistor values corresponding to commonly used frequencies.
However, changing the LM2586 operating frequency from its nominal value of 100 kHz changes the magnetics
selection and compensation component values.

7.3.6 Frequency Synchronization
Another feature of the LM2586 is the ability to synchronize the switching frequency to an external source, using
the sync pin (pin 6). This feature allows the user to parallel multiple devices to deliver more output power.
A negative falling pulse applied to the sync pin will synchronize the LM2586 to an external oscillator (see
Figure 24 and Figure 25).
Use of this feature enables the LM2586 to be synchronized to an external oscillator, such as a system clock. This
operation allows multiple power supplies to operate at the same frequency, thus eliminating frequency-related
noise problems.

The scope photo in Figure 25 shows a LM2586 12-V boost regulator synchronized to a 200-kHz signal. There is
a 700-ns delay between the falling edge of the sync signal and the turning on of the switch.

8.2.1.2.2 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 (see Figure 48). Both are
required due to the inherent operation of a flyback regulator. To keep a stable or constant voltage supply to the
LM2586, a storage capacitor (100 μF) 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 for the input capacitor. The
storage capacitor will also attenuate noise which may interfere with other circuits connected to the same input
supply voltage.

Figure 48. Flyback Regulator
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-μF ceramic capacitor between VIN and ground as close as possible to the device.
8.2.1.2.3 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 (maximum):
VSW(OFF) = VIN (maximum) + (VOUT +VF)/N
where
VFis the forward biased voltage of the output diode, and is typically 0.5 V for Schottky diodes and 0.8 V for
ultra-fast recovery diodes (3)
In certain circuits, there exists a voltage spike, VLL, superimposed on top of the steady-state voltage (see ,
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 in Figure 16
and other flyback regulator circuits throughout the datasheet). The schematic in Figure 48 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.
If poor circuit layout techniques are used (see the Circuit Layout Guideline section), negative voltage transients
may appear on the Switch pin (pin 5). 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 LM2586 IC as well.
When used in a flyback regulator, the voltage at the Switch pin (pin 5) 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 48. The values of the resistor
and the capacitor must be chosen so that the voltage at the Switch pin does not drop below 0.4 V. The resistor
may range in value between 10and 1 k, and the capacitor will vary from 0.001 μF to 0.1 μF. 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 5 and 4
(ground), also shown in Figure 48. This prevents the voltage at pin 5 from dropping below 0.4 V. The reverse
voltage rating of the diode must be greater than the switch off voltage.

8.2.1.2.4 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 Equation 5:
(5)
Theoretically, the maximum output voltage can be as large as desired—just 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 LM2586
switch, the output diode(s), and the transformer—such as reverse recovery time of the output diode (mentioned
above).
8.2.1.2.5 Noisy Input Line Condition
A small, low-pass RC filter should be used at the input pin of the LM2586 if the input voltage has an unusually
large amount of transient noise, such as with an input switch that bounces. The circuit in Figure 49 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 μH and rated at 200 mA).
8.2.1.2.6 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:

VSAT is the switch saturation voltage and can be found in the Characteristic Curves (6)

9 Layout
9.1 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 56).
When using the adjustable version, physically locate the programming resistors as close as possible to the
regulator IC, to keep the sensitive feedback wiring short.
9.2 Layout Example
Figure 56. Circuit Board Layout
9.3 Heat Sink/Thermal Considerations
In many cases, a heat sink is not required to keep the LM2586 junction temperature within the allowed operating
temperature 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 (125°C for the LM2586). For a safe, conservative design, a
temperature approximately 15°C cooler than the maximum junction temperature should be selected (110°C).
4) LM2586 package thermal resistances θJA and θJC (given in the Electrical Characteristics).
Total power dissipated (PD) by the LM2586 can be estimated as follows:
where
VIN is the minimum input voltage
VOUT is the output voltage
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
VFis the forward biased voltage of the diode and is typically 0.5 V for Schottky diodes and 0.8 V 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:
ΔTJ= PDθJA. (9)
Adding the junction temperature rise to the maximum ambient temperature gives the actual operating junction
temperature:
TJ=ΔTJ+ TA. (10)
If the operating junction temperature exceeds the maximum junction temperature 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:
ΔTJ= PD (θJC +θInterface +θHeat Sink) (11)
Again, the operating junction temperature will be:
TJ=ΔTJ+ 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 is
available on a diskette for IBM compatible computers from a Texas Instruments sales office in your area or
the Texas Instruments Customer Response Center ((800) 477-8924).

10.5 Electrostatic Discharge Caution
This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.
