Typical Flyback Regulator Applications
Step-Up (Boost) Regulator
Operation
Figure 33 shows the LM2588 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 LM2588 Boost Regulator
works is as follows (refer to Figure 33). When the NPN
switch turns on, the inductor current ramps up at the rate of
By adding a small number of external components (as
shown in Figure 33), the LM2588 can be used to produce a
regulated output voltage that is greater than the applied input
