LM2576 - 3.0 A, 15 V, Step-Down Switching Regulator

1 Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC, 2006 January, 2006 Rev. 81 Publication Order Number: LM2576 A, 15 V, Step DownSwitching RegulatorThe LM2576 series of regulators are monolithic integrated circuitsideally suited for easy and convenient design of a step downswitching Regulator (buck converter). All circuits of this series arecapable of driving a A load with excellent line and load devices are available in fixed output voltages of V, V,12 V, 15 V, and an adjustable output regulators were designed to minimize the number of externalcomponents to simplify the power supply design.

2 Standard series ofinductors optimized for use with the LM2576 are offered by severaldifferent inductor the LM2576 converter is a switch mode power supply, itsefficiency is significantly higher in comparison with popularthree terminal linear regulators, especially with higher input many cases, the power dissipated is so low that no heatsink isrequired or its size could be reduced standard series of inductors optimized for use with the LM2576are available from several different manufacturers.

3 This featuregreatly simplifies the design of switch mode power LM2576 features include a guaranteed 4% tolerance on outputvoltage within specified input voltages and output load conditions, and 10% on the oscillator frequency ( 2% over 0 C to 125 C). Externalshutdown is included, featuring 80 mA (typical) standby current. Theoutput switch includes cycle by cycle current limiting, as well asthermal shutdown for full protection under fault V, V, 12 V, 15 V, and Adjustable Output Versions Adjustable Version Output Voltage Range, to 37 V 4%Maximum Over Line and Load Conditions Guaranteed A Output Current Wide Input Voltage Range Requires Only 4 External Components 52 kHz Fixed Frequency Internal Oscillator TTL Shutdown Capability.
