LM2576-XX
LM2576 Series
SIMPLE SWITCHER 3A Step-Down Voltage Regulator
General Description
The LM2576 series of regulators are monolithic integrated
circuits that provide all the active functions for a step-down
(buck) switching regulator, capable of driving 3A load with
excellent line and load regulation. These devices are avail-
ableinfixedoutputvoltagesof3.3V,5V,12V,andan
adjustable output version.
Requiring a minimum number of external components, these
regulators are simple to use and include internal frequency
compensation and a fixed-frequency oscillator.
The LM2576 series offers a high-efficiency replacement for
popular three-terminal linear regulators. It substantially re-
duces the size of the heat sink, and in some cases no heat
sink is required.
A standard series of inductors optimized for use with the
LM2576 are available from several different manufacturers.
This feature greatly simplifies the design of switch-mode
power supplies.
Other features include a guaranteed
±
4% tolerance on out-
put voltage within specified input voltages and output load
conditions, and
±
10% on the oscillator frequency. External
shutdown is included, featuring 50 µA (typical) standby cur-
rent. The output switch includes cycle-by-cycle current limit-
ing, as well as thermal shutdown for full protection under
fault conditions.
