Protection
The XL2594 series of regulators are
monolithic integrated circuits that provide all the
active functions for a step-down (buck) switching
regulator, capable of driving a 0.5A load with
excellent line and load regulation. These devices are
available in fixed output voltages of 5V, 12V, ADJ
and an adjustable output version, and are packaged
in a 8-lead PDIP and a 8-lead surface mount SOIC
package.

Requiring a minimum number of external
components, these regulators are simple to use and
feature internal frequency compensation†, a fixedfrequency oscillator, and improved line and load
regulation specifications.
The XL2594 series operates at a
switching frequency of 150 kHz thus allowing smaller
sized filter components than what would be needed
with lower frequency switching regulators. Because of
its high efficiency, the copper traces on the printed
circuit board are normally the only heat sinking
needed.
APPLICATIONS
•
•
•
•
A standard series of inductors (both through hole and
surface mount types) are available from several
different manufacturers optimized for use with the
XL2594 series. This feature greatly
simplifies the design of switch-mode power supplies.
Simple High-efficiency Step-down (Buck)
Regulator
Efficient Pre-regulator for Linear Regulators
On-card Switching Regulators
Positive to Negative Convertor
Other features include an ensured ±4% tolerance on
output voltage under all conditions of input voltage
and output load conditions, and ±15% on the
oscillator frequency. External shutdown is included,
featuring typically 85 μA standby current. Self
protection features include a two stage frequency
reducing current limit for the output switch and an
over temperature shutdown for complete protection
under fault conditions.
The XL2594 is for applications requiring an input
voltage up to 60V.

Figure 16. Typical Circuits and Layout Guides
As in any switching regulator, layout is very important. Rapidly switching currents associated with wiring
inductance can generate voltage transients which can cause problems. For minimal inductance and ground
loops, the wires indicated by heavy lines should be wide printed circuit traces and should be kept as short
as possible. For best results, external components should be located as close to the switcher lC as possible
using ground plane construction or single point grounding.
If open core inductors are used, special care must be taken as to the location and positioning of this type of
inductor. Allowing the inductor flux to intersect sensitive feedback, lC groundpath and COUT wiring can cause
problems.
