ISSUED DATE :2005/04/15 REVISED DATE : G5ELM 2576 Simple Switcher 3A Step-Down Voltage Regulator Description The G5ELM2576 series of regulators are monolithic integrated circuits that provide all active functions for a step-down (buck) switching regulator, capable of driving 3A load with excellent line and load regulation. These devices are available in fixed output voltage of 3.3v, 5v, 12v, 15v and an adjustable output version. Requiring a minimum number of external components, these regulators are simple to use and include internal frequency compensation and a fixed-frequency oscillator. The G5ELM2576 series offers a high-efficiency replacement for popular three-terminal linear regulators. It substantially reduces the size of the heat sink, and in some cases no heat sink is required. A standard series if inductors optimized for use with the G5ELM2576 are available from several different manufactures. This feature greatly simplifies the design of switch-mode power supplies. Other feature include a guaranteed 4% to tolerance on output voltage within specified input voltages and output load condition, and 10% on the oscillator frequency. External shutdown is included, featuring 50uA (typical) standby current. The output switch includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting, as well as thermal shutdown for full protection under fault condition.

Operating Rating indicate conditions for which the device is intended to be functional, but do not guaranteed specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics. Note 2: All limits guaranteed at room temperature (standard type face) and at temperature extremes (bold type face). Note 3: External component such as the catch diode, inductor, input and output capacitors can affect switching regulator system performance. When the G5ELM2576 is used as shutdown in the Figure 2 test circuit, system performance will be as shown in system parameters section of Electrical Characteristics. Note 4: Output pin sourcing current. No diode, inductor or capacitor connected to output. Note 5: Feedback pin removed from output and connected to 0V. Note 6: Feedback pin removed from output and connected to +12V for the Adjustable, 3.3V and 5V versions, and +25V for the 12V and 15V versions, to force the output transistor OFF. Note 7: V IN=40V. Note 8: The oscillator frequency reduces to approximately 11 kHz in the event of an output short or an overload which causes the regulated output voltage to drop approximately 40% from the nominal output voltage. This self protection feature lowers the average power dissipation of the IC by lowering the minimum duty cycle from 5% down to approximately 2%.

Rapidly switching currents associated with wiring inductance generate voltage transients which can cause problems. For minimal inductance and ground loops, the length of the leads indicated by heavy lines should be kept as short as possible. Single-point grounding (as indicated) or ground plane construction should be used for best results. When using the Adjustable version, physically locate the programming resistors near the regulator, to keep the sensitive feedback wiring short.
