The LM2576HV series of regulators are monolithic integrated circuits that provide all the active functions for a
step-down (buck) switching regulator, capable of driving 3A load with excellent line and load regulation. These
devices are available in fixed output voltages of 3.3V, 5.0V, 12V, 15V and adjustable output versions.
Requiring a minimum number of external components, these regulators are simple to use and include internal
frequency compensation and a fixed-frequency oscillator. The LM2576HV series offers a high-efficiency
replacement for popular three-terminal linear regulators. It substantially reduces the size of the heat sink, and in
some cases no heat sink is required. A standard series of inductors optimized for use with the LM2576HV are
available from several different manufacturers. This feature greatly simplifies the design of switch-mode power
supplies. Other features include a guaranteed ± 4% tolerance on output voltage within specified input voltages
and output load conditions, and ± 10% on the oscillator frequency. External shutdown is included, featuring 50uA
(typical) standby current. The output switch includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting, as well as thermal shutdown
for full protection under fault 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. All limits guaranteed at room temperature (standard type face) and at temperature extremes (bold type face).
Note 3. External components such as the catch diode, inductor, input and output capacitors can affect switching regulator system
performance. When the 2576HV is used as shown in the Figure 2 test circuit, system performance will be as shown in system
parameters section of Electrical Characteristics.
Note 4. Output pin sourcing current. No diode, inductor or capacitor connected to output.
Note 5. Feedback pin removed from output and connected to 0V.
Note 6. Feedback pin removed from output and connected to +12V for the Adjustable, 3.3V, and 5V, versions, and +25V for the 12V and 15V
versions, to force the output transistor OFF.
Note 7. V
IN
=60V.
Note 8. The oscillator frequency reduces to approximately 11 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 protections feature lowers the average power
dissipation of the IC by lowering the minimum duty cycle from 5% down to approximately 2%.
