A complete step-down switching regulator schematic, using
the LM3524D, is illustrated in Figure 15. Transistors Q1 and
Q2 have been added to boost the output to 1A. The 5V
regulator of the LM3524D has been divided in half to bias the
error amplifier’s non-inverting input to within its common-
mode range. Since each output transistor is on for half the
period, actually 45%, they have been paralleled to allow
longer possible duty cycle, up to 90%. This makes a lower
possible input voltage. The output voltage is set by:
