LM2576 Series
Description
The LM2576 series of regulators are monolithic integrated circuits that provide all the active functions for a step-down (buck) switching
regulator, capable of driving 3A load with excellent line and load regulation. These devices are available in fixed output voltages of 3.3V,
5V, 12V, 15V, and an adjustable output versions. Requiring a minimum number of external components, these regulators are simple to
use and include internal frequency compensation and
a
fixed-frequency oscillator. The LM2576 series offers a
high-efficiency replacement for popular three-terminal linear regulators. It substantially reduces the size of the heat sink, and in some
cases no heat sink is required. 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. Other features include a guaranteed ± 4%
tolerance on output voltage within specified input voltages and output load conditions, and ±10% on the oscillator frequency. External
shutdown is included, featuring 50µA (typical) standby current. The output switch includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting, as well as
thermal shutdown for full protection under fault conditions.
Note: The LM2576HV is not produced yet.
