资 源 简 介
The LM2596 series of regulators are monolithic integratedcircuits ideally suited for easy and convenient design of astep-down switching regualtor(buck converter).All circuits of this series are capable of driving a 3.0A loadwith excellent line and load regulaTIon. These devices areavailable in fixed output voltages of 3.3V, 5.0V,12V, 15V,and an adjustable output version.These regulaTIors were designed to minimize the number of externalcomponents to simplify thepower supply design. Standard series of inductors opTImized for use with the LM2576 are offeredby several different inductor manufacturers.Since the LM2596 converter is a switch-mode power supply, its efficiency is significantly higher incomparison with popular three-terminal limear reguators, especially with higher input voltages.
