The LM2596HVGR-ADJ is an adjustable output voltage step-down (buck) switching regulator capable of driving a 3A load with excellent line and load regulation. This device is available in an adjustable output version, simplifying the design of power supplies with specific voltage requirements. It's a highly efficient alternative to linear regulators.
Applications:
- Point-of-load regulation
- Powering microcontrollers and other low-voltage devices
- Battery chargers
- LED drivers
Features:
- Adjustable output voltage from 1.2V to 57V
- Guaranteed 3A output current
- Wide input voltage range up to 60V
- Requires a minimal number of external components
- Fixed 150 kHz switching frequency
- Excellent line and load regulation
- Thermal shutdown and current limit protection
Benefits:
- The adjustable output voltage allows for customized power supply designs
- High efficiency minimizes heat dissipation
- Internal over-temperature and over-current protection enhances system reliability
- Reduced component count simplifies design and lowers costs
Additional Details:
The LM2596HVGR-ADJ operates at a fixed switching frequency of 150 kHz. This enables the use of smaller filter components, which reduces the overall size and cost of the power supply. Internal compensation minimizes the number of external components needed. The device is available in a TO-263 package.
