Flyback Regulator
Multiple-Output Regulator
Simple Boost Regulator
Forward Converter
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 5-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 a 100
kHz fixed-frequency internal oscillator that permits the
use of small magnetics. Other features include softstart mode to reduce in-rush current during start up,
current mode control for improved rejection of input
voltage and output load transients and cycle-by-cycle
current limiting. An output voltage tolerance of ±4%,
within specified input voltages and output load
conditions, is ensured for the power supply system.

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 specified under these conditions. For specifications
and test conditions see .
If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, contact the Texas Instruments Sales Office/ Distributors for availability and
specifications.
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 section for more information).
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 LM2587 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 15, or multiple output voltages. In Figure 15, 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 15): 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.
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 1.23-V
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.

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Step-Up (Boost) Regulator Operation
Figure 16 shows the LM2587 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 LM2587 Boost Regulator works is as follows (refer to Figure 16). 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 the section.
By adding a small number of external components (as shown in Figure 16), the LM2587 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 . Typical performance of this regulator is shown in .

8.2.4 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.4.1 Custom Design With Webench® Tools
Click here to create a custom design using the LM2587 device with the WEBENCH® Power Designer.
1. Start by entering the input voltage (VIN), output voltage (VOUT), and output current (IOUT) requirements.
2. Optimize the design for key parameters such as efficiency, footprint, and cost using the optimizer dial.
3. Compare the generated design with other possible solutions from Texas Instruments.
The WEBENCH Power Designer provides a customized schematic along with a list of materials with real-time
pricing and component availability.
In most cases, these actions are available:
• Run electrical simulations to see important waveforms and circuit performance
• Run thermal simulations to understand board thermal performance
• Export customized schematic and layout into popular CAD formats
• Print PDF reports for the design, and share the design with colleagues
Get more information about WEBENCH tools at www.ti.com/WEBENCH.
8.2.4.2 Programming Output Voltage (Selecting R1 And R2)
Referring to the adjustable regulator in Figure 17, 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.
8.2.4.3 Short Circuit Condition
Due to the inherent nature of boost regulators, when the output is shorted (see Figure 17), current flows directly
from the input, through the inductor and the diode, to the output, bypassing the switch. The current limit of the
switch does not limit the output current for the entire circuit. To protect the load and prevent damage to the
switch, the current must be externally limited, either by the input supply or at the output with an external current
limit circuit. The external limit should be set to the maximum switch current of the device, which is 5A.
In a flyback regulator application (Figure 59), using the standard transformers, the LM2587 will survive a short
circuit to the main output. When the output voltage drops to 80% of its nominal value, the frequency will drop to
25 kHz. With a lower frequency, off times are larger. With the longer off times, the transformer can release all of
its stored energy before the switch turns back on. Hence, the switch turns on initially with zero current at its
collector. In this condition, the switch current limit will limit the peak current, saving the device.

8.2.4.4 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 59). Both are
required due to the inherent operation of a flyback regulator. To keep a stable or constant voltage supply to the
LM2587, a storage capacitor (≥100 μF) is required. If the input source is a recitified 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 of the input capacitor. The
storage capacitor will also attenuate noise which may interfere with other circuits connected to the same input
supply voltage.
Figure 59. 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 1.0 μF ceramic capacitor between VIN and ground as close as possible to the device.
8.2.4.5 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 (Max):
VSW(OFF) = VIN (Max) + (VOUT +VF)/N
(3)
where VF is the forward biased voltage of the output diode, and is 0.5V for Schottky diodes and 0.8V for ultra-fast
recovery diodes (typically). In certain circuits, there exists a voltage spike, VLL, superimposed on top of the
steady-state voltage (see Figure 13, 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 on the front page and other flyback regulator circuits throughout the datasheet). The
schematic in Figure 59 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 Layout Guidelines section), negative voltage transients may
appear on the Switch pin (pin 4). 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 LM2587 IC as well. When
used in a flyback regulator, the voltage at the Switch pin (pin 4) 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 59. The values of the resistor
and the capacitor must be chosen so that the voltage at the Switch pin does not drop below −0.4V. The resistor
may range in value between 10Ω and 1 kΩ, 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.

LM2587
SNVS115E – APRIL 2000 – REVISED JUNE 2019
www.ti.com
The other method to reduce or eliminate the “ringing” is to insert a Schottky diode clamp between pins 4 and 3
(ground), also shown in Figure 59. This prevents the voltage at pin 4 from dropping below −0.4V. The reverse
voltage rating of the diode must be greater than the switch off voltage.
Figure 60. Input Line Filter
8.2.4.6 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 the following equation:
(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 LM2587
switch, the output diode(s), and the transformer—such as reverse recovery time of the output diode (mentioned
above).
8.2.4.7 Noisy Input Line Condition)
A small, low-pass RC filter should be used at the input pin of the LM2587 if the input voltage has an unusual
large amount of transient noise, such as with an input switch that bounces. The circuit in Figure 60 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 100 mA).
8.2.4.8 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:

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 63).
When using the adjustable version, physically locate the programming resistors as near the regulator IC as
possible, to keep the sensitive feedback wiring short.
9.2 Layout Example
Figure 63. Circuit Board Layout
9.3 Heat Sink/Thermal Considerations
In many cases, no heat sink is required to keep the LM2587 junction temperature within the allowed operating
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 LM2587). For a safe, conservative design, a
temperature approximately 15°C cooler than the maximum junction temperature should be selected (110°C).
4) LM2587 package thermal resistances θJA and θJC (given in the Electrical Characteristics).
Total power dissipated (PD) by the LM2587 can be estimated as follows:

VF is the forward biased voltage of the diode and is typically 0.5V for Schottky diodes and 0.8V 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 = PD × θJA.
(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 temperatue 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, TI is making available computer design software.
Switchers Made Simple software is available on a (3½″) diskette for IBM compatible computers from a TI sales
office in your area or the TI WEBENCH Design Center team.
