To simplify the buck regulator design procedure, National
Semiconductor is making available computer design software to
be used with the SIMPLE SWITCHER line of switching
regulators. LM267X Made Simple version 1.0 is available on
Windows 3.1, NT, or 95 operating systems.
Given:
1. Programming Output Voltage (Selecting R
shown in Figure 3)
Use the following formula to select the appropriate resistor
values.
Select a value for R
resistor values minimize noise pickup in the sensitive feedback
pin. (For the lowest temperature coefficient and the best stability
with time, use 1% metal film resistors.)
2. Inductor Selection (L1)
A. Calculate the inductor Volt • microsecond constant E • T
(V • µs), from the following formula:
where V
V
B. Use the E • T value from the previous formula and match it
with the E • T number on the vertical axis of the Inductor Value
Selection Guide shown in Figure 7.
C. On the horizontal axis, select the maximum load current.
D. Identify the inductance region intersected by the E • T value
and the Maximum Load Current value. Each region is identified
by an inductance value and an inductor code (LXX).
E. Select an appropriate inductor from the four manufacturer’s
part numbers listed in Figure 8. For information on the different
types of inductors, see the inductor selection in the fixed output
voltage design procedure.
3. Output Capacitor SeIection (C
A. Select an output capacitor from the capacitor code selection
guide in Figure 16. Using the inductance value found in the
inductor selection guide, step 1, locate the appropriate capacitor
code corresponding to the desired output voltage.

D. From the inductor value selection guide shown in Figure 7,
the inductance region intersected by the 21.6 (V • µs) horizontal
line and the 1A vertical line is 68 µH, and the inductor code is

3. Output Capacitor SeIection (C
A. Use the appropriate row of the capacitor code selection
guide, in Figure 16. For this example, use the 15–20V row. The
capacitor code corresponding to an inductance of 68 µH is C20.
