The Current Limit Sense Voltage is measured by connecting
an adjustable 0-to-1V floating power supply in series with the
current limit terminal and referring it to either the ground or
the Vin terminal. Set the duty cycle to 90% and monitor test
point TP5 while adjusting the floating power supply voltage
until the LM1578A’s duty cycle just reaches 0%. This voltage
is the Current Limit Sense Voltage.

Test Circuit
Parameter tests can be made using the test circuit shown.
Select the desired Vin, collector voltage and duty cycle with
adjustable power supplies. A digital volt meter with an input
resistance greater than 100 MΩ should be used to measure
the following:
Input Reference Voltage to Ground; S1 in either position.
The Supply Current should be measured with the duty cycle
