Typical Applications
D1 is a Schottky type diode such as a 1N5818 or 1N5819.
L1 is found as described in the buck converter section, using
the inductance chart for Figure 16 for the boost configuration
and 20% discontinuity.
INVERTING REGULATOR
Figure 20 shows the basic configuration for an inverting
regulator. The input voltage is of a positive polarity, but the
output is negative. The output may be less than, equal to, or
greater in magnitude than the input. The relationship be-
tween the magnitude of the input voltage and the output
voltage is V
BUCK-BOOST REGULATOR
The Buck-Boost Regulator, shown in Figure 22, may step a
voltage up or down, depending upon whether or not the
desired output voltage is greater or less than the input
voltage. In this case, the output voltage is 12V with an input
voltage from 9V to 15V. The circuit exhibits an efficiency of
75%, with a load regulation of 60 mV (10 mA to 100 mA) and
a line regulation of 52 mV.
