Circuit Configuration:
- The LM2577T-ADJ is an adjustable version of the LM2577 series step-up voltage regulator.
- Connect the input voltage (VIN) between the "Vin" and "GND" pins.
- Connect the output capacitor (COUT) between the "Vout" and "GND" pins.
- Use a feedback resistor network (R1 and R2) connected from "FB" pin to "Vout" and "GND" to set the desired output voltage.
Setting Output Voltage:
- The output voltage can be adjusted using the formula: [ V_ = 1.23 times left(1 + fracright) ]
- Choose appropriate values for R1 and R2 to achieve the desired output voltage.
Component Selection:
- Select an inductor with a saturation current higher than the maximum expected output current.
- Choose capacitors with low ESR for better performance and stability.
- Ensure that the input and output capacitors have sufficient ripple current ratings.
Thermal Considerations:
- Ensure adequate heat sinking if operating at high output currents or in high ambient temperatures.
- Monitor the junction temperature to stay within safe operating limits.
PCB Layout:
- Place the input and output capacitors as close as possible to the respective pins.
- Keep the ground connections short and wide to reduce noise and improve stability.
Testing:
- After assembly, apply the input voltage and measure the output voltage to ensure it matches the desired setting.
- Test under various load conditions to verify stability and efficiency.
