Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur.Operating ratings indicate conditions for which the device is intended to be functional, but device parameter specifications may not be guaranteed under these conditions. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics.

Note 2: Due to timing considerations of the LM1577 current limit circuit, output current cannot be internally limited when the LM1577 is used as a set-up regulator. To prevent damage to the switch, its current must be externally limited to 6.0A. However, output current is internally limited when the LM1577 is used as a flyback or forward converter regulator in accordance to the Application Hints. 

Note 3: Human body model, 1.5K Ohm in series with 100pF.

The 6370 is a monolithic integrated circuit that provides all of the power and control functions for set-up (boost), flyback, and forward converter switching regulators.Requiring a minimum number of external components, this regulator is cost effective, and simple to use.

Included on the chip of 6370 is a 3.0A NPN switch and its associated protection circuitry,consisting of current and thermal limiting, and undervoltage lockout. Other features include a 52kHz fixed-frequency oscillator that requires no external components, a soft start mode to reduce in-rush current during start-up and current mode control for improved rejection of input voltage and output load transients.
