FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LM2672 series of regulators are monolithic
integrated circuits built with a LMDMOS process.
These regulators provide all the active functions for a
step-down (buck) switching regulator, capable of
driving a 1A load current with excellent line and load
regulation. These devices are available in fixed output
voltages of 3.3V, 5.0V, 12V, and an adjustable output
version.

Versions
components, these regulators are simple to use and
include patented internal frequency compensation
(Patent Nos. 5,382,918 and 5,514,947), fixed
frequency oscillator, external shutdown, soft-start,
and frequency synchronization.

Adjustable Version Output Voltage Range:
1.21V to 37V
±1.5% Max Output Voltage Tolerance Over
Line and Load Conditions
The LM2672 series operates at a switching frequency
of 260 kHz, thus allowing smaller sized filter
components than what would be needed with lower
frequency switching regulators. Because of its very
high efficiency (>90%), the copper traces on the
printed circuit board are the only heat sinking needed.

Mode
A family of standard inductors for use with the
LM2672 are available from several different
manufacturers. This feature greatly simplifies the
design of switch-mode power supplies using these
advanced ICs. Also included in the datasheet are
selector guides for diodes and capacitors designed to
work in switch-mode power supplies.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Other features include a ensured ±1.5% tolerance on
output voltage within specified input voltages and
output load conditions, and ±10% on the oscillator
frequency. External shutdown is included, featuring
typically 50 μA stand-by current. The output switch
includes current limiting, as well as thermal shutdown
for full protection under fault conditions.
