design has a great influence on the reliability of the overall

high voltage spikes generated by the rate of transitions in
current within the switching power supply, and the
possibility of core saturation can arise during an abnormal
operational mode. Voltage spikes can cause the
semiconductors to enter avalanche breakdown and the part
can instantly fail if enough energy is applied. It can also
cause significant RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) and
EMI (Electro−Magnetic Interference) problems.
Continuous and Discontinuous Mode of Operation
continuous and the discontinuous modes of operation. The
regulator works in the continuous mode when loads are
relatively heavy, the current flows through the inductor
continuously and never falls to zero. Under light load
conditions, the circuit will be forced to the discontinuous
mode when inductor current falls to zero for certain period
of time (see Figure 23 and Figure 24). Each mode has
distinctively different operating characteristics, which can
affect the regulator performance and requirements. In many
cases the preferred mode of operation is the continuous
mode. It offers greater output power, lower peak currents in
the switch, inductor and diode, and can have a lower output

selection guide for the LM2576 regulator was added to this
data sheet (Figures 18 through 22). This guide assumes that
the regulator is operating in the continuous mode, and
selects an inductor that will allow a peak−to−peak inductor
ripple current to be a certain percentage of the maximum
design load current. This percentage is allowed to change as
different design load currents are selected. For light loads
(less than approximately 300 mA) it may be desirable to
operate the regulator in the discontinuous mode, because the
inductor value and size can be kept relatively low.
Consequently, the percentage of inductor peak−to−peak
current increases. This discontinuous mode of operation is
perfectly acceptable for this type of switching converter.
Any buck regulator will be forced to enter discontinuous
mode if the load current is light enough.
Selecting the Right Inductor Style
are core material, cost, the output power of the power supply,
the physical volume the inductor must fit within, and the
amount of EMI (Electro−Magnetic Interference) shielding
that the core must provide. The inductor selection guide
covers different styles of inductors, such as pot core, E−core,
toroid and bobbin core, as well as different core materials
such as ferrites and powdered iron from different
manufacturers.
be the best choice. Since the magnetic flux is contained
within the core, it generates less EMI, reducing noise
problems in sensitive circuits. The least expensive is the
bobbin core type, which consists of wire wound on a ferrite
rod core. This type of inductor generates more EMI due to
the fact that its core is open, and the magnetic flux is not
contained within the core.
