National Semiconductor LM1578A/LM2578A/LM3578A Switching Regulator Datasheet
The LM1578A family (including LM2578A and LM3578A) are switching regulator controllers that can be configured for buck, boost, inverting and transformer‑based topologies. They feature separate inverting and non‑inverting comparator inputs with an internal 1.0 V reference, an on‑board oscillator, and a current‑limit terminal that can be referenced to ground or V\u200bREF.
The device operates from 2 V to 40 V supply voltages, delivers up to 750 mA output current, and supports a duty cycle up to 90 %. Detailed electrical characteristics, mechanical dimensions and application notes are provided for designers.
