UMW LM2596/LM2596HV
3A Step-Down Voltage Regulator
General Description
Features
The LM2596 /LM2596HV series of regulators are monolithic
integrated circuits that provide all the active functions for a
step-down (buck) switching regulator, capable of driving a 3A
load with excellent line and load regulation. These devices
are available in fixed output voltages of 3.3V, 5V, 12V, and an
adjustable output version.
n 3.3V, 5V, 12V, and adjustable output versions
n Adjustable version output voltage range, 1.2V to 37V
(57V for HV version)
±
4% max over line and load conditions
n Available in TO-220 and TO-263,TO-220B packages
n Guaranteed 3A output load current
n Input voltage range up to 40V
n Requires only 4 external components
n Excellent line and load regulation specifications
n 150 kHz fixed frequency internal oscillator
n TTL shutdown capability
n Low power standby mode, IQ typically 80 µA
n High efficiency
n Uses readily available standard inductors
n Thermal shutdown and current limit protection
Requiring a minimum number of external components, these
regulators are simple to use and include internal frequency
†
compensation , and a fixed-frequency oscillator.
The LM2596 /LM2596HV series operates at a switching
frequency of150 kHz thus allowing smaller sized filter com-
pontents than what would be needed with lower frequency
switching regulators. Available in a standard 5-lead TO-220
package with several different lead bend options, and a
5-lesd TO-262 surface mount package.
A standard series of inductors are available from several
different manufacturers optimized for use with the LM2596
series. This feature greatly simplifies the design of
switch-mode power supplies.
Applications
n Simple high-efficiency step-down (buck) regulator
n On-card switching regulators
n Positive to negative converter

shutdown is included, featuring typically 80 µA standby cur-
rent. Self protection features include a two stage frequency
reducing current limit for the output switch and an over
temperature shutdown for complete protection under fault
conditions.
