LM2576

POWER MANAGEMENT Description The LM2575/6 series switching regulators are monolithic integrated circuits designed for use in “buck” or “buck/ boost” regulator applications requiring accurate output voltages over combined variations of line, load and temperature. This unique series greatly simplifies switching power supply design. The LM2575 has a maximum output current of 1A and the LM2576 is rated for 3A. 1A & 3A Miniconverter Switching Regulators Features u Pin for pin replacement for National’s LM2575/6 u DC-to-DC buck or buck/boost converter requiring only 4 support components Fixed or adjustable voltages Preset output voltages of 3.3V, 5V and 12V Wide output voltage range, 1.23V to 35V 82% typical efficiency @ 5V out Wide input voltage range, 4V to 40V Inhibit/enable control pin Industrial temperature range TO-220 and TO-263 packages series LM2575 & LM2576 u u u u The LM2575/6 series miniconverters include a u switching regulator and compensation network all within u the same package. Just add a choke, catch diode and u two capacitors to obtain an efficient DC-to-DC converter. u The current limit and thermal shutdown features of the LM2575/6 series fully protect the device against overstress conditions. Applications u u u u Micro controller power supplies Medical equipment Industrial power supplies Instrumentation power supplies The LM2575/6 series offers an alternative to popular 3 terminal linear regulators by providing higher efficiency with reduced heatsink size...
