CM2596S

CM2596S 3A STEP DOWN VOLTAGE REGULATOR GENERAL DESCRIPTION The CM2596S series are step-down switching regulators with all required active functions. It is capable of driving 3A load with excellent line and load regulations. These devices are available in fixed output voltages of 3.3V, 5V, and an adjustable output version. The CM2596S series offers a high-efficiency replacement for popular three-terminal linear regulators. Also it requires a minimum number of external components. It substantially not only reduces the area of board size but also the size of the heat sink, and in some cases no heat sink is required. FEATURES ‹ Guaranteed 3A output current ‹ 3.3V, 5V, and adjustable versions ‹ Wide input voltage range, up to 40V ‹ Internal oscillator of 150KHz fixed frequency ‹ Wide adjustable version output voltage range, from 1.23V to 37V±4% max over line and load conditions ‹ Low standby current, typ. 150μA, at shutdown mode ‹ Requires only 4 external components ‹ Thermal sh...
