LM2576
3.0 A, 15 V, Step−Down
Switching Regulator
The LM2576 series of regulators are monolithic integrated circuits
ideally suited for easy and convenient design of a step−down
switching regulator (buck converter). All circuits of this series are
capable of driving a 3.0 A load with excellent line and load regulation.
These devices are available in fixed output voltages of 3.3 V, 5.0 V,
12 V, 15 V, and an adjustable output version.
These regulators were designed to minimize the number of external
components to simplify the power supply design. Standard series of
inductors optimized for use with the LM2576 are offered by several
different inductor manufacturers.
Since the LM2576 converter is a switch−mode power supply, its
efficiency is significantly higher in comparison with popular
three−terminal linear regulators, especially with higher input voltages.
In many cases, the power dissipated is so low that no heatsink is
required or its size could be reduced dramatically.
A standard series of inductors optimized for use with the LM2576
are available from several different manufacturers. This feature
greatly simplifies the design of switch−mode power supplies.
The LM2576 features include a guaranteed
±4%
tolerance on output
voltage within specified input voltages and output load conditions, and
±10%
on the oscillator frequency (±2% over 0°C to 125°C). External
shutdown is included, featuring 80
mA
(typical) standby current. The
output switch includes cycle−by−cycle current limiting, as well as
thermal shutdown for full protection under fault conditions.

Maximum ratings are those values beyond which device damage can occur. Maximum ratings applied to the device are individual stress limit
values (not normal operating conditions) and are not valid simultaneously. If these limits are exceeded, device functional operation is not implied,
damage may occur and reliability may be affected.

3. The oscillator frequency reduces to approximately 18 kHz in the event of an output short or an overload which causes the regulated output
voltage to drop approximately 40% from the nominal output voltage. This self protection feature lowers the average dissipation of the IC by
lowering the minimum duty cycle from 5% down to approximately 2%.
4. Output (Pin 2) sourcing current. No diode, inductor or capacitor connected to output pin.
5. Feedback (Pin 4) removed from output and connected to 0 V.
6. Feedback (Pin 4) removed from output and connected to +12 V for the Adjustable, 3.3 V, and 5.0 V versions, and +25 V for the 12 V and
15 V versions, to force the output transistor “off”.
