LM2576
52kHz Simple 3A Buck Regulator
General Description
The LM2576 series of monolithic integrated circuits provide all the active functions for a step-down (buck) switching regulator. Fixed versions are available with a 3.3V, 5V, or 12V fixed output. Adjustable versions have an output voltage range from 1.23V to 37V. Both versions are capable of driving a 3A load with excellent line and load regulation. These regulators are simple to use because they require a minimum number of external components and include internal frequency compensation and a fixed-frequency oscillator. The LM2576 series offers a high efficiency replacement for popular three-terminal adjustable linear regulators. It substantially reduces the size of the heat sink, and in many cases no heat sink is required. A standard series of inductors available from several different manufacturers are ideal for use with the LM2576 series. This feature greatly simplifies the design of switch-mode power supplies. The feedback voltage is guaranteed to ±2% tolerance for adjustable versions, and the output voltage is guaranteed to ±3% for fixed versions, within specified input voltages and output load conditions. The oscillator frequency is guaranteed to ±10%. External shutdown is included, featuring less than 200µA standby current. The output switch includes cycle-bycycle current limiting and thermal shutdown for full protection under fault conditions.

Absolute Maximum Rating indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is intended to be functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics. All limits guaranteed at room temperature (standard type face) and at temperature extremes (bold type face) . All room temperature limits are 100% production tested. All limits at temperature extreme are guaranteed via testing. External components such as the catch diode, inductor, input and output capacitors can affect switching regulator system performance. When the LM2576/LM1576 is used as shown in Figure 1 test circuit, system performance will be shown in system parameters section of Electrical Characteristics. Output (pin 2) sourcing current.

As in any switching regulator, layout is very important. Rapidly switching currents associated with wiring inductance generate voltage transients which can cause problems. For minimal stray inductance and ground loops, the length of the leads indicated by heavy lines should be kept as short as possible. Single-point grounding (as indicated) or ground plane construction should be used for best results.
