EASY SWITCHER
3.0 A STEP–DOWN
VOLTAGE REGULATOR
The LM2576 series of regulators are monolithic integrated circuits ideally
suited for easy and convenient design of a step–down switching regulator
(buck converter). All circuits of this series are capable of driving a 3.0 A load
with excellent line and load regulation. These devices are available in fixed
output voltages of 3.3 V, 5.0 V, 12 V, 15 V, and an adjustable output version.
These regulators were designed to minimize the number of external
components to simplify the power supply design. Standard series of
inductors optimized for use with the LM2576 are offered by several different
inductor manufacturers.
SEMICONDUCTOR
TECHNICAL DATA
Since the LM2576 converter is a switch–mode power supply, its efficiency
is significantly higher in comparison with popular three–terminal linear
regulators, especially with higher input voltages. In many cases, the power
dissipated is so low that no heatsink is required or its size could be reduced
dramatically.
A standard series of inductors optimized for use with the LM2576 are
available from several different manufacturers. This feature greatly simplifies
the design of switch–mode power supplies.
The LM2576 features include a guaranteed ±4% tolerance on output
voltage within specified input voltages and output load conditions, and ±10%
on the oscillator frequency (±2% over 0°C to 125°C). External shutdown is
included, featuring 80 µA (typical) standby current. The output switch
includes cycle–by–cycle current limiting, as well as thermal shutdown for full
protection under fault conditions.
