DESCRIPTION
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 3.0A load with excellent line and load regulation. These
devices are available in fixed output voltages of 3.3V, 5.0V, 12V 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㎂(typical) standby current. The output switch includes cycle-by-
cycle current limiting, as well as thermal shutdown for full protection under fault conditions.

PIN DESCRIPTION

This pin is the positive input supply for the LM2576 step–down
switching regulator.
In order to minimize voltage transients and to supply the switching
currents needed by the regulator, a suitable input bypass capacitor
must be present. (Cin in Figure 1).
This is the emitter of the internal switch. The saturation voltage
V
SAT
of this output switch is typically 1.5V. It should be kept in mind
that the PCB area connected to this pin should be kept to a
minimum in order to minimize coupling to sensitive circuitry.
Circuit ground pin. See the information about the printed circuit
board layout.
This pin senses regulated output voltage to complete the feedback
loop.
The signal is divided by the internal resistor divider network R2, R1
and applied to the non–inverting input of the internal error amplifier.
In the adjustable version of the LM2576 switching regulator this pin
is the direct input of the error amplifier and the resistor network R2,
R1 is connected externally to allow programming of the output
voltage.
It allows the switching regulator circuit to be shutdown using logic
level signals, thus dropping the total input supply current to
approximately 80uA.
The threshold voltage is typically 1.4V. Applying a voltage above
this value (up to +Vin) shuts the regulator off. If the voltage applied
to this pin is lower than 1.4V or if this pin is left open, the regulator
will be in the "on" condition
No Connect.
