FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LM2676 series of regulators are monolithic
integrated circuits which provide all of the active
functions for a step-down (buck) switching regulator
capable of driving up to 3A loads with excellent line
and load regulation characteristics. High efficiency
(>90%) is obtained through the use of a low ON-
resistance DMOS power switch. The series consists
of fixed output voltages of 3.3V, 5V and 12V and an
adjustable output version.

A
high fixed frequency oscillator
(260KHz) allows the use of physically smaller sized
components. A family of standard inductors for use
with the LM2676 are available from several
manufacturers to greatly simplify the design process.

Range
The LM2676 series also has built in thermal
shutdown, current limiting and an ON/OFF control
input that can power down the regulator to a low
50μA quiescent current standby condition. The output
voltage is ensured to a ±2% tolerance. The clock
frequency is controlled to within a ±11% tolerance.
