This holds the output of the error amplifier initially low thus reducing the duty-cycle to a minimum. Without the
slow start circuit the inductor may saturate at turn-on because it has to supply high peak currents to charge the
output capacitor from 0V. It should also be noted that this circuit has no supply rejection. By adding a reference
voltage at the non-inverting input to the error amplifier, see Figure 31, the input voltage variations are rejected.
The LM3524D can also be used in inductorless switching regulators. Figure 32 shows a polarity inverter which if
connected to Figure 30 provides a −15V unregulated output.
