The Step−Down Converter application is shown in Figure 19. The output switch transistor Q
1
interrupts the input voltage, generating a
squarewave at the LC
O
filter input. The filter averages the squarewaves, producing a dc output voltage that can be set to any level between
V
in
and V
ref
by controlling the percent conduction time of Q
1
to that of the total oscillator cycle time. If the converter design requires an output
voltage greater than 5.05 V, resistor R
1
must be added to form a divider network at the feedback input.

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
.

Two potential problems arise when designing the standard voltage−inverting converter with the MC34167. First, the Switch Output emitter is
limited to −1.5 V with respect to the ground pin and second, the Error Amplifier’s noninverting input is internally committed to the reference and
is not pinned out. Both of these problems are resolved by connecting the IC ground pin to the converter’s negative output as shown in Figure 23.
This keeps the emitter of Q
1
positive with respect to the ground pin and has the effect of reversing the Error Amplifier inputs. Note that the voltage
drop across R
1
is equal to 5.05 V when the output is in regulation.
