Description
The Bay Linear LM2576 contains fixed and adjustable
switching voltage regulators that require a minimum of
external components. All circuitry necessary to build a
buck-switching regulator is included.
The LM2576 is available in 3.3V; 5V, 12V & 15V fixed
voltages, or an adjustable version with an output voltage
range from 1.23V to 37V. The guaranteed accuracy for
specified input and load conditions is ±4%.
The LM2576 can supply 3A with an excellent load and
line regulation. Protection such as cycle-by-cycle
current limiting or thermal shutdown has been designed.
In standby mode, the current consumption has been
minimized (200µA).
