PROGRAMMING OUTPUT VOLTAGE
(SELECTING R
Referring to the adjustable regulator in Figure 41, the output
voltage is programmed by the resistors R
following formula:

For best temperature coefficient and stability with time, use
1% metal film resistors.
SHORT CIRCUIT CONDITION
Due to the inherent nature of boost regulators, when the
output is shorted (see Figure 41), current flows directly from
the input, through the inductor and the diode, to the output,
bypassing the switch. The current limit of the switch does not
limit the output current for the entire circuit. To protect the
load and prevent damage to the switch, the current must be
externally limited, either by the input supply or at the output
with an external current limit circuit. The external limit should
be set to the maximum switch current of the device, which is
5A.
In a flyback regulator application (Figure 42), using the stan-
dard transformers, the LM2587 will survive a short circuit to

the main output. When the output voltage drops to 80% of its
nominal value, the frequency will drop to 25 kHz. With a
lower frequency, off times are larger. With the longer off
times, the transformer can release all of its stored energy
before the switch turns back on. Hence, the switch turns on
initially with zero current at its collector. In this condition, the
switch current limit will limit the peak current, saving the
device.
FLYBACK REGULATOR INPUT CAPACITORS
A flyback regulator draws discontinuous pulses of current
from the input supply. Therefore, there are two input capaci-
tors needed in a flyback regulator; one for energy storage
and one for filtering (see Figure 42). Both are required due to
the inherent operation of a flyback regulator. To keep a
stable or constant voltage supply to the LM2587, a storage
capacitor (≥100 µF) is required. If the input source is a
recitified DC supply and/or the application has a wide tem-
perature range, the required rms current rating of the capaci-
tor might be very large. This means a larger value of capaci-
tance or a higher voltage rating will be needed of the input
capacitor. The storage capacitor will also attenuate noise
which may interfere with other circuits connected to the
same input supply voltage.
