LM2596 Series Datasheet

LM2596

Step-Down Voltage Regulator

The LM2596 series of regulators are monolithic integrated circuits that provide all the active functions for a step-down (buck) switching regulator, capable of driving a 3-A load with excellent line and load regulation. These devices are available in fixed output voltages of 3.3 V, 5 V, 12 V, and an adjustable output version. It has the characteristics of perfect protection circuit, current limit and thermal shutdown circuit.

LM2596 Pin Configuration and Function

Pin Number

Pin Name

Description

1

V-IN

This is the positive input supply for the   IC switching regulator. A suitable input bypass capacitor must be present at   this pin to minimize voltage transients and to supply the switching currents   required by the regulator.

2

V-OUT

Internal switch. The voltage at this pin   switches between approximately (+VIN VSAT) and   approximately 0.5 V, with a duty cycle of VOUT / VIN.   To minimize coupling to sensitive circuitry, the PCB copper area connected to   this pin must be kept to a minimum.

3

Ground

Circuit ground

4

Feedback

Senses the regulated output voltage to   complete the feedback loop.

5

ON/OFF

Allows the switching regulator circuit to   be shut down using logic signals thus dropping the total input supply current   to approximately 80 µA. Pulling this pin below a threshold voltage of   approximately 1.3 V turns the regulator on, and pulling this pin above 1.3 V   (up to a maximum of 25 V) shuts the regulator down. If this shutdown feature   is not required, the ON/OFF pin can be wired to the ground pin or it can be   left open. In either case, the regulator will be in the ON condition.
