LM2679 SIMPLE SWITCHER 5-A Step-Down Voltage Regulator
With Adjustable Current Limit
1 Features
3 Description
The LM2679 series of regulators are monolithic

•
Efficiency Up to 92%
integrated circuits which provide all of the active
functions for a step-down (buck) switching regulator
capable of driving up to 5-A 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 3.3 V, 5 V, and 12 V and
an adjustable output version.

Wide Input Voltage Range: 8 V to 40 V
260-kHz Fixed Frequency Internal Oscillator
Soft-Start Capability
(260 kHz) allows the use of physically smaller sized
components. A family of standard inductors for use
with the LM2679 are available from several
manufacturers to greatly simplify the design process.
−40 to 125°C Operating Junction Temperature
Range
Other features include the ability to reduce the input
surge current at power on by adding a soft-start
timing capacitor to gradually turn on the regulator.
The LM2679 series also has built-in thermal
shutdown and resistor programmable current limit of
the power MOSFET switch to protect the device and
load circuitry under fault conditions. The output
voltage is specified to a ±2% tolerance. The clock
frequency is controlled to within a ±11% tolerance.
