The LM2671 series of regulators are monolithic integrated
circuits built with a LMDMOS process. These regulators provide all the active functions for a step-down (buck) switching
regulator, capable of driving a 500mA load current with excellent line and load regulation. These devices are available
in fixed output voltages of3.3V, 5.0V, 12V, and an adjustable
output version.
Requiring a minimumnumberofexternal components, these
regulators are simple to use and include patented internal
frequency compensation (Patent Nos. 5,382,918 and
5,514,947), fixed frequency oscillator, external shutdown,
soft-start, and frequency synchronization.
The LM2671 series operates at a switching frequency of
260 kHz, thus allowing smaller sized filter components than
what would be needed with lower frequency switching regulators. Because of its very high efficiency (
per traces on the printed circuit board are the only heat sinking needed.
A family of standard inductors for use with the LM2671 are
available from several different manufacturers. This feature
greatly simplifies the design of switch-mode power supplies
using these advanced ICs. Also included in the datasheet
are selector guides for diodes and capacitors designed to
work in switch-mode power supplies.
Other features include a guaranteed
output voltage within specified input voltages and output
load conditions, and
ternal shutdown is included, featuring typically 50 µA
stand-by current. The output switch includes current limiting,
as well as thermal shutdown for full 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 device parameter specifications may not be guaranteed under these conditions. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see
the Electrical Characteristics.
Note 2: The human body model is a 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor into each pin.
Note 3: External components such as the catch diode, inductor, input and output capacitors, and voltage programming resistors can affect switching regulator per-
formance. When the LM2671 is used as shown in
the Electrical Characteristics.
Note 4: Typical numbers are at 25˚C 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%pro-
duction 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: 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 Information section in the application note accompanying this datasheet and the thermal model in
