Product Summary

The LM2676 series of regulators are monolithic integrated
circuits which provide all of the active functions for a stepdown
(buck) switching regulator capable of driving up to 3A
loads with excellent line and load regulation characteristics.
High efficiency (>90%) is obtained through the use of a low
ON-resistance DMOS power switch. The series consists of
fixed output voltages of 3.3V, 5V and 12V and an adjustable
output version.
The SIMPLE SWITCHER concept provides for a complete
design using a minimum number of external components. A
high fixed frequency oscillator (260KHz) allows the use of
physically smaller sized components. A family of standard
inductors for use with the LM2676 are available from several
manufacturers to greatly simplify the design process.
The LM2676 series also has built in thermal shutdown,
current limiting and an ON/OFF control input that can power
down the regulator to a low 50μA quiescent current standby
condition. The output voltage is guaranteed to a ±2% tolerance.
The clock frequency is controlled to within a ±11%
tolerance.
