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 ...

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 ...

Is it possible to get a high efficiency buck-boost converter by switching between the two?

Many buck-boost converters work by boosting to an intermediate voltage, then bucking to the desired voltage. What if instead, it had a separate buck and boost section in parallel, and switched between ...
