LM2595 SIMPLE SWITCHER Power Converter 150 kHz 1A Step-Down Voltage Regulator
May 1999
General Description
The LM2595 series of regulators are monolithic integrated
circuits that provide all the active functions for a step-down
(buck) switching regulator, capable of driving a 1A load with
excellent line and load regulation. These devices are available in fixed output voltages of 3.3V, 5V, 12V, and an adjustable output version.
Requiring aminimumnumber of external components, these
regulators are simple to use and include internal frequency
compensation
The LM2595 series operates at a switching frequency of
150 kHz thus allowing smaller sized filter components than
what would be needed with lower frequency switching regulators. Available in a standard 5-lead TO-220 package with
several different lead bend options, and a 5-lead TO-263
surface mount package. Typically, for output voltages less
than 12V, and ambient temperatures less than 50˚C, no heat
sink is required.
A standard series of inductors are available from several different manufacturers optimized for use with the LM2595 series. This feature greatly simplifies the design of
switch-mode power supplies.
Other features include a guaranteed
put voltage under specified input voltage and output load
conditions, and
shutdown is included, featuring typically 85 µAstand-by current. Self protection features include a two stage frequency
reducing current limit for the output switch and an over temperature shutdown for complete protection under fault conditions.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur.Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is intended to be functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics.
Note 2: The human body model is a 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5k resistor into each pin.
Note 3: Typical numbers are at 25˚C and represent the most likely norm.
Note 4: All limits guaranteed at room temperature (standard type face) and at temperature extremes (bold type face). All room temperature limits are 100%produc-
tion tested. All limits at temperature extremes are guaranteed via correlation using standard Statistical Quality Control (SQC) methods. All limits are used to calculate
Average Outgoing Quality Level (AOQL).
Note 5: External components such as the catch diode, inductor, input and output capacitors, and voltage programming resistors can affect switching regulator system performance. When the LM2595 is used as shown in the
Characteristics.
Note 6: The switching frequency is reduced when the second stage current limit is activated. The amount of reduction is determined by the severity of current overload.
Note 7: No diode, inductor or capacitor connected to output pin.

FIGURE 1. Standard Test Circuits and Layout Guides
As in any switching regulator, layout is very important. Rapidly switching currents associated with wiring inductance can
generate voltage transients which can cause problems. For
minimal inductance and ground loops, the wires indicated by
heavy lines should be wide printed circuit traces and
should be kept as short as possible. For best results, ex-
ternal components should be located as close to the
switcher lC as possible using ground plane construction or
single point grounding.
DS012565-22
DS012565-23
If open core inductors are used, special care must be
taken as to the location and positioning of this type of inductor.Allowing the inductor flux to intersect sensitive feedback,
lC groundpath and C
wiring can cause problems.
OUT
When using the adjustable version, special care must be
taken as to the location of the feedback resistors and the associated wiring. Physically locate both resistors near the IC,
and route the wiring away from the inductor, especially an
open core type of inductor. (See application section for more
information.)

. (Output voltages of 3.3V, 5V, or
Fig-
12V respectively.) For all other voltages, see the design procedure for the adjustable version.
B. From the inductor value selectionguide, identify the inductance region intersected by the Maximum Input Voltage line
and the Maximum Load Current line. Each region isidentified
by an inductance value and an inductor code (LXX).
C. Select an appropriate inductor from the four manufacturer’s part numbers listed in
2. Output Capacitor Selection (C

.
)
A. In the majority of applications, low ESR (Equivalent Series
Resistance) electrolytic capacitors between 47 µF and 330
µF and low ESR solid tantalum capacitors between 56 µF
and 270 µF provide the best results.This capacitor should be
located close to the IC using short capacitor leads and short
copper traces. Do not use capacitors larger than 330 µF.
For additional information, see section on output capacitors in application information section.
B. To simplify the capacitor selection procedure, refer to the
quick design component selection table shown in
Figure 2
This table contains different input voltages, output voltages,
and load currents, and lists various inductors and output capacitors that will provide the best design solutions.
C. The capacitor voltage rating for electrolytic capacitors
should be at least 1.5 times greater than the output voltage,
and often much higher voltage ratings are needed to satisfy
the low ESR requirements for low output ripple voltage.

1. Inductor Selection (L1)
A. Use the inductor selection guide for the 5V version shown
in
Figure 5
.
B. From the inductor value selection guide shownin
the inductance region intersected by the 12V horizontal line
and the 1A vertical line is 68 µH, and the inductor code is
L30.
C. The inductance value required is 68 µH. From the table in
Figure 8
, go to the L30 line and choose an inductor part number from any of the four manufacturers shown. (In most instance, both through hole and surface mount inductors are
available.)
2. Output Capacitor Selection (C
OUT
)
A. See section on output capacitors in application information section.
B. From the quick design component selection table shown
in
Figure 2
, locate the 5V output voltage section. In the load
current column, choose the load current line that is closest to
the current needed in your application, for this example, use
the 1A line. In the maximum input voltage column, select the
line that covers the input voltage needed in your application,
in this example, use the 15V line. Continuing on this line are
recommended inductors and capacitors that will provide the
.
best overall performance.
The capacitor list contains both through hole electrolytic and
surface mount tantalum capacitors from four different capacitor manufacturers. It is recommended that both the manufacturers and the manufacturer’s series that are listed in the
table be used.
In this example aluminum electrolytic capacitors from several
different manufacturers are available with the range of ESR
numbers needed.
220 µF 25V Panasonic HFQ Series
220 µF 25V Nichicon PL Series
C. For a 5V output, a capacitor voltage rating at least 7.5V or
more is needed. But, in this example, even a low ESR,
switching grade, 220 µF 10V aluminum electrolytic capacitor
would exhibit approximately 225 mΩ of ESR (see the curve
in
Figure 14
for the ESR vs voltage rating). This amount of
ESR would result in relatively high output ripple voltage. To
reduce the ripple to 1%of the output voltage, or less, a capacitor with a higher voltage rating (lower ESR)should be selected. A 16V or 25V capacitor will reduce the ripple voltage
by approximately half.
