BASIC SWITCHING REGULATOR THEORY
AND APPLICATIONS
The basic circuit of a step-down switching regulator circuit is
shown in Figure 12, along with a practical circuit design
using the LM3524D in Figure 15.

The circuit works as follows: Q1 is used as a switch, which
has ON and OFF times controlled by the pulse width modu-
lator. When Q1 is ON, power is drawn from V
to the load through L1; V
reverse biased, and C
inductor L1 will force V
in it, D1 will start conducting and the load current will flow
through D1 and L1. The voltage at V
C
through L1 is equal to the nominal DC load current plus
some ∆I
good rule of thumb is to set ∆I
ηMAX will be further decreased due to switching losses in
Q1. For this reason Q1 should be selected to have the
maximum possible f
times.
