8.1.1 Design Considerations

Power supply design using the LM2676 is greatly simplified by using recommended external components. A wide range of inductors, capacitors, and Schottky diodes from several manufacturers have been evaluated for use in designs that cover the full range of capabilities (input voltage, output voltage, and load current) of the LM2676. A simple design procedure using nomographs and component tables provided in this data sheet leads to a working design with very little effort.

The individual components from the various manufacturers called out for use are still just a small sample of the vast array of components available in the industry. While TI recommends these components, they are not exclusively the only components for use in a design. After a close comparison of component specifications, equivalent devices from other manufacturers can be substituted for use in an application.

The following sections include important considerations for each external component and an explanation of how the nomographs and selection tables were developed.
