D1 is a Schottky type diode such as a 1N5818 or 1N5819.

L1 is found as described in the buck converter section, using the inductance chart for Figure 29 for the boost

configuration and 20% discontinuity.

INVERTING REGULATOR

Figure 33 shows the basic configuration for an inverting regulator. The input voltage is of a positive polarity, but

the output is negative. The output may be less than, equal to, or greater in magnitude than the input. The

Figure 34 shows an LM2578A configured as a 5V to

−15V polarity inverter with an output current of 300 mA, a

load regulation of 44 mV (60 mA to 300 mA) and a line regulation of 50 mV (4.5V
