DESCRIPTION
The AMC2596 series are highly integrated step down
voltage regulator capable of driving a 3A load with extremely
regulated output voltages over line & load regulation. These
devices are available in fixed output voltages of 3.3V. 5V and
an adjustable output versions.
These regulators require a minimum number of external
components and are simpler to use by an internal frequency
compensation and a fixed – frequency oscillator.
By operating a switching frequency of 150KHz, the
AMC2596 series require smaller sized filter components. This
feature makes the application design more cost effective than
lower frequency switch regulators. A standard 5-lead TO-220
package with several different lead bend options, and a 5-lead
TO-263 surface mount package is available
The AMC2596 series feature a guaranteed ±4% tolerance
of output voltage over input to output load conditions.

Note 1:Absolute Maximum Ratings 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.
Note 2:The human body model is a 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5K resister into each pin.
Note 3:External components such as the catch diode, inductor, input and output capacitors, and voltage programming resistors can affect switching
regulator system performance. When the AMC2596 is used as shown in the Figure 1 test circuit, system performance will be as shown in
system parameters section of Electrical Characteristics.
Note 4:The switching frequency is reduced when the second stage current limit is activated. The amount of reduction is determined by the severity of
current over-load.
Note 5:No diode, inductor or capacitor connected to output pin.
Note 6:Feedback pin removed from output and connected to 0V to force the output transistor switch ON.
Note 7:Feedback pin removed from output and connected to 12V for the 3.3V, 5V, and the ADJ. version, and 15Vfor the 12V version, to force the
output transistor switch OFF.
