FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LM2599 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.

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
LM2599 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 an ensured ±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 80 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
