Application Information
This circuit has hysteresis

Because of differences in the operation of the inverting
regulator, the standard design procedure is not used to
select the inductor value. In the majority of designs, a 33 µH,
3A inductor is the best choice. Capacitor selection can also
be narrowed down to just a few values.
This type of inverting regulator can require relatively large
amounts of input current when starting up, even with light
loads. Input currents as high as the LM2591HV current limit
(approx 4A) are needed for at least 2 ms or more, until the
output reaches its nominal output voltage. The actual time
depends on the output voltage and the size of the output
capacitor. Input power sources that are current limited or
sources that can not deliver these currents without getting
loaded down, may not work correctly. Because of the rela-
tively high startup currents required by the inverting topology,
the delayed startup feature (C1, R

input capacitor is allowed to charge up to a higher voltage
before the switcher begins operating. A portion of the high
input current needed for startup is now supplied by the input
capacitor (C

lNVERTING REGULATOR SHUTDOWN METHODS
To use the ON /OFF pin in a standard buck configuration is
simple, pull it below 1.3V (
turn regulator ON, pull it above 1.3V to shut the regulator
OFF. With the inverting configuration, some level shifting is
required, because the ground pin of the regulator is no
longer at ground, but is now setting at the negative output
voltage level. Two different shutdown methods for inverting
regulators are shown in Figure 12 and Figure 13
