LM2596 SIMPLE SWITCHER Power Converter 150 kHz3A Step-Down Voltage Regulator
May 2002
General Description
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 3A 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 aminimum number of external components, these
regulators are simple to use and include internal frequency
compensation
The LM2596 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.
A standard series of inductors are available from several
different manufacturers optimized for use with the LM2596
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 80 µA standby 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.

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,
external components should be located as close to the
switcher lC as possible using ground plane construction or
single point grounding.
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 12V respectively.)For all other voltages, see the design
procedure for the adjustable version.
B. From the inductor value selection guide, identify the inductance region intersected by the Maximum Input Voltage line
and the Maximum Load Current line. Each region is identified
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
Figure 8
.
)
OUT
A. In the majority of applications, low ESR (Equivalent Series
Resistance) electrolytic capacitors between 82 µF and 820 µF
and low ESR solid tantalum capacitors between 10 µF and
470 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 820 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
Figure 5
in
.
B. From the inductor value selection guide shown in
the inductance region intersected by the 12V horizontal line
and the 3A vertical line is 33 µH, and the inductor code is L40.
C. The inductance value required is 33 µH. From the table in
Figure 8
, go to the L40 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
A. See section on output capacitors in application infor-
mation 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 3A 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.
330 µF 35V Panasonic HFQ Series
330 µF 35V Nichicon PL Series
C. For a 5V output, a capacitor voltage rating at least 7.5V or
more is needed. But even a low ESR, switching grade, 220 µF
10V aluminum electrolytic capacitor would exhibit approximately 225 mΩ of ESR (see the curve in
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 value or
with a higher voltage rating (lower ESR) should be selected. A
16V or 25V capacitor will reduce the ripple voltage by approximately half.
