DESCRIPTION
The LM2575/6 series switching regulators are mono-
lithic integrated circuits designed for use in “buck” or
“buck/boost” regulator applications requiring accurate
output voltages over combined variations of line, load
and temperature. This unique series greatly simplifies
switching power supply design. The LM2575 has a
maximum output current of 1A and the LM2576 is
rated for 3A.
The LM2575/6 series miniconverters include a
switching regulator and compensation network all
within the same package. Just add a choke, catch
diode and two capacitors to obtain an efficient DC-to-
DC converter. Current limit and thermal shutdown
features of the LM2575/6 series fully protect the device
against overstress conditions.
The LM2575/6 series offers an alternative to popular 3
terminal linear regulators by providing higher efficiency
with reduced heatsink size. In many applications a heat
sink will not be required.
