SIMPLE DESIGN PROCEDURE
Using the nomographs and tables in this data sheet (or use
the available design software at http://www.national.com) a
complete step-down regulator can be designed in a few
simple steps.
Step 1: Define the power supply operating conditions:
Required output voltage
Maximum DC input voltage
Maximum output load current
Step 2: Set the output voltage by selecting a fixed output
LM2677 (3.3V, 5V or 12V applications) or determine the re-
quired feedback resistors for use with the adjustable
LM2677−ADJ
Step 3: Determine the inductor required by using one of the
four nomographs, Figure 3 through Figure 6 . Table 1 pro-
vides a specific manufacturer and part number for the induc-
tor.
Step 4: Using Table 3 (fixed output voltage) or Table 6 (ad-
justable output voltage), determine the output capacitance
required for stable operation. Table 2 provides the specific
capacitor type from the manufacturer of choice.
Step 5: Determine an input capacitor from Table 4 for fixed
output voltage applications. Use Table 2 to find the specific
capacitor type. For adjustable output circuits select a capaci-
tor from Table 2 with a sufficient working voltage (WV) rating
greater than Vin max, and an rms current rating greater than
one-half the maximum load current (2 or more capacitors in
parallel may be required).
Step 6: Select a diode from Table 5. The current rating of the
diode must be greater than I load max and the Reverse Volt-
age rating must be greater than Vin max.
Step 7: Include a 0.01µF/50V capacitor for Cboost in the de-
sign.
FIXED OUTPUT VOLTAGE DESIGN EXAMPLE
A system logic power supply bus of 3.3V is to be generated
from a wall adapter which provides an unregulated DC volt-
age of 13V to 16V. The maximum load current is 2.5A.
Through-hole components are preferred.
Step 1: Operating conditions are:
Vout = 3.3V
Vin max = 16V
Iload max = 2.5A
Step 2: Select an LM2677T-3.3. The output voltage will have
a tolerance of
temperature range.
Step 3: Use the nomograph for the 3.3V device , Figure 3 .
The intersection of the 16V horizontal line (V
2.5A vertical line (I
ductor, is required.
From Table 1, L33 in a through-hole component is available
from Renco with part number RL-1283-22-43 or part number
PE-53933 from Pulse Engineering.
Step 4: Use Table 3 to determine an output capacitor. With a
3.3V output and a 22µH inductor there are four through-hole
output capacitor solutions with the number of same type ca-
pacitors to be paralleled and an identifying capacitor code
given. Table 2 provides the actual capacitor characteristics.

1 x 2200µF/10V Nichicon PL (code C5)
1 x 1000µF/35V Panasonic HFQ (code C7)
Step 5: Use Table 4 to select an input capacitor. With 3.3V
output and 22µH there are three through-hole solutions.
These capacitors provide a sufficient voltage rating and an
rms current rating greater than 1.25A (1/2 I
using Table 2 for specific component characteristics the fol-
lowing choices are suitable:
1 x 1000µF/63V Sanyo MV-GX (code C14)
1 x 820µF/63V Nichicon PL (code C24)
1 x 560µF/50V Panasonic HFQ (code C13)
Step 6: From Table 5 a 3A Schottky diode must be selected.
For through-hole components 20V rated diodes are sufficient
and 2 part types are suitable:
1N5820
SR302
Step 7: A 0.01µF capacitor will be used for Cboost.
ADJUSTABLE OUTPUT DESIGN EXAMPLE
In this example it is desired to convert the voltage from a two
battery automotive power supply (voltage range of 20V to
28V, typical in large truck applications) to the 14.8VDC alter-
nator supply typically used to power electronic equipment
from single battery 12V vehicle systems. The load current re-
quired is 2A maximum. It is also desired to implement the
power supply with all surface mount components.
Step 1: Operating conditions are:
Vout = 14.8V
Vin max = 28V
Iload max = 2A
Step 2: Select an LM2677S-ADJ. To set the output voltage
to 14.9V two resistors need to be chosen (R1 and R2 in Fig-
ure 2 ). For the adjustable device the output voltage is set by
the following relationship:
Where V
A recommended value to use for R1 is 1K. In this example
then R2 is determined to be:
R2 = 11.23K
The closest standard 1% tolerance value to use is 11.3K
This will set the nominal output voltage to 14.88V which is
within 0.5% of the target value.
Step 3: To use the nomograph for the adjustable device, Fig-
