LM2597/LM2597HV
SIMPLE SWITCHER® Power Converter 150 kHz 0.5A Step-Down Voltage Regulator, with Features
General Description
The LM2597/LM2597HV series of regulators are monolithic integrated circuits that provide all the active functions for a step-down (buck) switching regulator, capable of driving a 0.5A 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, and are packaged in an 8-lead DIP and an 8-lead surface mount package.
This series of switching regulators is similar to the LM2594 series, with additional supervisory and performance features added.
Requiring a minimum number of external components, these regulators are simple to use and include internal frequency compensation², improved line and load specifications, fixed-frequency oscillator, Shutdown /Soft-start, error flag delay and error flag output.
The LM2597/LM2597HV 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. Because of its high efficiency, the copper traces on the printed circuit board are normally the only heat sinking needed.
A standard series of inductors (both through hole and surface mount types) are available from several different manufacturers optimized for use with the LM2597/LM2597HV series. This feature greatly simplifies the design of switch-mode power supplies.
Other features include a guaranteed ±4% tolerance on output voltage under all conditions of input voltage and output load conditions, and ±15% on the oscillator frequency. External shutdown is included, featuring typically 85 µA standby current. Self protection features include a two stage current limit for the output switch and an over temperature shutdown for complete protection under fault conditions.
The LM2597HV is for use in applications requiring and input voltage up to 60V.

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: Voltage internally clamped. If clamp voltage is exceeded, limit current to a maximum of 1 mA.
Note 3: The human body model is a 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5k resistor into each pin.
Note 4: Typical numbers are at 25ÊC and represent the most likely norm.
Note 5: All limits guaranteed at room temperature (standard type face) and at temperature extremes (bold type face). All room temperature limits are 100% production 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 6: External components such as the catch diode, inductor, input and output capacitors can affect switching regulator system performance. When the LM2597/ LM2597HV is used as shown in the Figure 12 test circuit, system performance will be as shown in system parameters section of Electrical Characteristics.
Note 7: 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 8: No diode, inductor or capacitor connected to output pin.
Note 9: Feedback pin removed from output and connected to 0V to force the output transistor switch ON.
Note 10: Feedback pin removed from output and connected to 12V for the 3.3V, 5V, and the ADJ. version, and 15V for the 12V version, to force the output transistor switch OFF.
Note 11: VIN = 40V for the LM2597 and 60V for the LM2597HV.
Note 12: Junction to ambient thermal resistance with approximately 1 square inch of printed circuit board copper surrounding the leads. Additional copper area will lower thermal resistance further. See application hints in this data sheet and the thermal model in Switchers Made Simple ™ software.

|
diode is an overload or shorted output condition. |
|
B.The reverse voltage rating of the diode should be at least 1.25 times the maximum input voltage.
C.This diode must be fast (short reverse recovery time) and must be located close to the LM2597 using short leads and short printed circuit traces. Because of their fast switching speed and low forward voltage drop, Schottky diodes provide the best performance and efficiency, and should be the first choice, especially in low output voltage applications. Ultra-fast recovery, or High-Efficiency rectifiers also provide good results. Ultra-fast recovery diodes typically have reverse recovery times of 50 ns or less. Rectifiers such as the 1N4001 series are much too slow and should not be used.
