The XH2576 series of regulators are monolithic
integrated circuits that provide all the active functions
for a step-down (buck) switching regulator, capable of
driving 3A load with excellent line and load regulation.
These devices are available in fixed output voltages
of 3.3V 5.0V 12V ADJ and an adjustable output
version.

Requiring a minimum number of external
components, these regulators are simple to use and
include internal frequency compensation and a fixedfrequency oscillator.
The XH2576 series offers a high-efficiency
replacement for popular three-terminal linear
regulators. It substantially reduces the size of the
heat sink, and in some cases no heat sink is
required.
A standard series of inductors optimized for use with
the XH2576 are available from several different
manufacturers. This feature greatly simplifies the
design of switch-mode power supplies.

frequency. External shutdown is included, featuring
50 μA (typical) standby current. The output switch
includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting, as well as

If the DDPAK/TO-263 package is used, the thermal resistance can be
reduced by increasing the PC board copper area thermally connected
to the package. Using 0.5 square inches of copper area, θJA is
50°C/W, with 1 square inch of copper area, θJA is 37°C/W, and with
1.6 or more square inches of copper area, θJA is 32°C/W.

XH2576 Series Buck Regulator Design Procedure
PROCEDURE (Fixed Output Voltage Versions)
EXAMPLE (Fixed Output Voltage Versions)
Given:
VOUT = Regulated Output Voltage
(3.3V, 5V, 12V, or 15V)
VIN(Max) = Maximum Input Voltage
ILOAD(Max) = Maximum Load Current
Given:
VOUT = 5V
VIN(Max) = 15V
ILOAD(Max) = 3A
1. Inductor Selection (L1)
A. Select the correct Inductor value selection guide from Figure 23,
Figure 24, Figure 25, or Figure 26. (Output voltages of 3.3V, 5V, 12V
or 15V respectively). For other output voltages, see the design
procedure for the adjustable version.
B. From the inductor value selection guide, identify the inductance
region intersected by VIN(Max) and ILOAD(Max), and note the
inductor code for that region.
C. Identify the inductor value from the inductor code, and select an
appropriate inductor from the table shown in Figure 23. Part
numbers are listed for three inductor manufacturers. The inductor
chosen must be rated for operation at the XH2576 switching
frequency (52 kHz) and for a current rating of 1.15 × ILOAD. For
additional inductor information, see INDUCTOR SELECTION.
1. Inductor Selection (L1)
A. Use the selection guide shown in Figure 24.
B. From the selection guide, the inductance area intersected by the
15V line and 3A line is L100.
C. Inductor value required is 100 μH. From the table in Figure 23.
Choose AIE 415-0930, Pulse Engineering PE92108, or Renco
RL2444.

stable operation and an acceptable output ripple voltage,
(approximately 1% of the output voltage) a value between 100 μF
and 470 μF is recommended.
B. The capacitor's voltage rating should be at least 1.5 times greater
than the output voltage. For a 5V regulator, a rating of at least 8V is
appropriate, and a 10V or 15V rating is recommended.
Higher voltage electrolytic capacitors generally have lower ESR
numbers, and for this reason it may be necessary to select a
capacitor rated for a higher voltage than would normally be needed.
3. Catch Diode Selection (D1)
A.The catch-diode current rating must be at least 1.2 times greater
than the maximum load current. Also, if the power supply design
must withstand a continuous output short, the diode should have a
current rating equal to the maximum current limit of the XH2576 The
most stressful condition for this diode is an overload or shorted
output condition.
B. The reverse voltage rating of the diode should be at least 1.25
times the maximum input voltage.
3. Catch Diode Selection (D1)
A.For this example, a 3A current rating is adequate.
B. Use a 20V 1N5823 or SR302 Schottky diode, or any of the
suggested fast-recovery diodes shown in Table 1.

Use the following formula to select the appropriate resistor values.
R1 can be between 1k and 5k. (For best temperature coefficient and R2 = 1k (8.13 − 1) = 7.13k, closest 1% value is 7.15k

A. Calculate the inductor Volt • microsecond constant, E • T (V • μs), A. Calculate E • T (V • μs)
from the following formula:
B. Use the E • T value from the previous formula and match it with
the E • T number on the vertical axis of the Inductor Value

C. On the horizontal axis, select the maximum load current.
D. Identify the inductance region intersected by the E • T value and
the maximum load current value, and note the inductor code for that
region.
E. Identify the inductor value from the inductor code, and select an
appropriate inductor from the table shown in Table 2. Part numbers
are listed for three inductor manufacturers. The inductor chosen
must be rated for operation at the XH2576 switching frequency (52
kHz) and for a current rating of 1.15 × ILOAD. For additional inductor
information, see INDUCTOR SELECTION.

E. Inductor Value = 150 μH Choose from AIEpart #415-0936Pulse
Engineering part #PE-531115, or Renco part #RL2445.
3. Output Capacitor Selection (COUT)
3. Output Capacitor Selection (COUT)
A. The value of the output capacitor together with the inductor
defines the dominate pole-pair of the switching regulator loop. For
stable operation, the capacitor must satisfy the following
However, for acceptable output ripple voltage select
requirement:
COUT ≥ 680 μF
COUT = 680 μF electrolytic capacitor
The above formula yields capacitor values between 10 μF and 2200
μF that will satisfy the loop requirements for stable operation. But to
achieve an acceptable output ripple voltage, (approximately 1% of
the output voltage) and transient response, the output capacitor may
need to be several times larger than the above formula yields.
B. The capacitor's voltage rating should be at last 1.5 times greater
than the output voltage. For a 10V regulator, a rating of at least 15V
or more is recommended. Higher voltage electrolytic capacitors
generally have lower ESR numbers, and for this reason it may be
necessary to select a capacitor rate for a higher voltage than would
normally be needed.
4. Catch Diode Selection (D1)
A. The catch-diode current rating must be at least 1.2 times greater
than the maximum load current. Also, if the power supply design
must withstand a continuous output short, the diode should have a
current rating equal to the maximum current limit of the XH2576 The
most stressful condition for this diode is an overload or shorted
output. See Table 1.
B. The reverse voltage rating of the diode should be at least 1.25
times the maximum input voltage.
4. Catch Diode Selection (D1)
A. For this example, a 3.3A current rating is adequate.
B. Use a 30V 31DQ03 Schottky diode, or any of the suggested fastrecovery diodes in Table 1.
