Switching Voltage Regulator (SVR)
FEATURES
N2576
TO-263, TO220
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The N2576 Series switching voltage
regulators (SVR) are monolithic integrated
circuits that provide all the active functions
for a step-down (buck) switching regulator,
B o t h s e r ie s a re ca p a b l e o f d r i v i n g
3 A load respectively with excellent line and
load regulation.
The N2576 Series SVR 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. The output
switch includes cycle-by-cycle current limit
-ing, as well as thermal shutdown for full
protection under fault conditions.
The N2576 Series SVR offer replacement
for popular 3 terminal linear regulators by
providing higher efficiency with reduced
heat sink size. In many applications a heat
sink will not be required.
