on/off pin problems with the LM2678 5.0

PCB: My name is Ertuğrul. I made a regulation board with an LM2678 but I have a problem: I provide 12V input but I can not get 5V output. I only get 5V with the on/off pin enabled, but the datasheet ...

Is there a mathematical representation that represents the output voltage of a buck or boost converter in discontinuous mode?

Recently I have learned that in buck or boost converters, the output voltage depends only on the duty cycle and input voltage in continuous conduction mode or when current is continuous. However, in ...

How does a boost converter allow for a gain in output voltage by just switching the positions of the inductor and switch?

I get that in a buck converter, a low pass LC circuit was attached and this effectively filters out high frequencies. If the bandwidth is configured so that it is lower than the switching frequency, a ...

Why overshoot happens in Inductor voltage in an open loop DC-DC buck converter?

I am extremely confused about why this overshoot occurs in the Inductor voltage waveform in buck converter and also why the time to achieve steady state reduces on increasing the load resistance. ...

One step-down regulator 24 V to 1V or two step-down regulators with lower steps?

I am trying to design a working principle scheme to step-down the input voltage from 24Vdc ---> different low voltages (1.8 V, 1 V, 1.5 V, 3.3 V with ripples ~ 1%). Could you kindly explain me the ...

Why are boost/buck converters never fully integrated/all-in-one?

Moving from small arduino applications to higher-power applications for work, I've had to switch from using simple linear regulators to switching boost/buck converters any time a different voltage to ...
