Equation 43

where VD is the voltage drop across the diodes, VSW and VSWE across the internal and

external power MOSFET.

Inverting buck-boost

The L7986TA can implement the step-up/down converter with a negative output voltage.

Figure 33. shows the schematic to regulate -5 V: no further external components are added

to the standard buck topology.

The relationship between input and output voltage is:

Equation 44

so the duty cycle is:

Equation 45

As in the positive one, in the inverting buck-boost the current flowing through the power

MOSFET is transferred to the load only during the off-time. So according to the maximum

DC switch current (3.0 A), the maximum output current can be calculated from Equation 41,

where the duty cycle is given by Equation 45 Equation 45.
