regulator, capable of driving
a 0.5A 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, and are packaged
in an 8-lead PDIP and an 8-lead surface mount
package.

High Efficiency
The LM2597/LM2597HV series operates at

switching frequency of 150 kHz thus allowing smaller
sized filter components than what would be needed
with lower frequency switching regulators. Because of
its high efficiency, the copper traces on the printed
circuit board are normally the only heat sinking
needed.

APPLICATIONS
•
Simple High-efficiency Step-down (Buck)
Regulator
A standard series of inductors (both through hole and
surface mount types) are available from several
different manufacturers optimized for use with the
LM2597/LM2597HV series. This feature greatly
simplifies the design of switch-mode power supplies.

Efficient Pre-regulator for Linear Regulators
On-card Switching Regulators
Positive to Negative Converter
Other features include a specified ±4% tolerance on
output voltage under all conditions of input voltage
and output load conditions, and ±15% on the
oscillator frequency. External shutdown is included,
featuring typically 85 μA standby current. Self
protection features include a two stage current limit
for the output switch and an over temperature
shutdown for complete protection under fault
conditions.
The LM2597HV is for use in applications requiring
and input voltage up to 60V.
