Figure 21 shows that the MC34167 can be configured as a step−up/down converter with the addition of an external power MOSFET. Energy
is stored in the inductor during the ON time of transistors Q
1
and Q
2
. During the OFF time, the energy is transferred, with respect to ground,
to the output filter capacitor and load. This circuit configuration has two significant advantages over the basic step−up converter circuit. The first
advantage is that output short circuit protection is provided by the MC34167, since Q
1
is directly in series with V
in
and the load. Second, the
output voltage can be programmed to be less than V
in
. Notice that during the OFF time, the inductor forward biases diodes D
1
and D
2
, transferring
its energy with respect to ground rather than with respect to V
in
. When operating with V
in
greater than 20 V, a gate protection network is required
for the MOSFET. The network consists of components R
G
, D
3
, and D
4
.
