LM2598 SIMPLE SWITCHER Power Converter 150 kHz 1A Step-Down Voltage Regulator, with
Features
General Description
The LM2598 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.
This series of switching regulators is similar to the LM2595
series, with additionalsupervisory and performance features
added.
Requiring a minimum number of external components, these
regulators are simple to use and include internal frequency
compensation
fixed-frequency oscillator, Shutdown /Soft-start, error flag
delay and error flag output.
The LM2598 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 7-lead TO-220 package with several
different lead bend options, and a 7-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 (both through hole and surface mount types) are available from several different manufacturers optimized for use with the LM2598 series. This
feature greatly simplifies the design of switch-mode power
supplies.
Other features include a guaranteed
put voltage under all conditions of input voltage and output
load conditions, and

Test Circuit and Layout Guidelines
(Continued)
LM2598
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
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.)
switcher lC as possible using ground plane construction or
single point grounding.

Resistance) electrolytic capacitors between 47 µF and 330
µF and low ESR solid tantalum capacitors between 56 µF

located close to the IC using short capacitor leads and short
