with excellent line and load regulation. These devices are
available in fixed output voltages of 3.3V, 5.0V,12V, 15V,
and an adjustable output version.
These regulatiors were designed to minimize the number of externalcomponents to simplify the
power supply design. Standard series of inductors optimized for use with the LM2576 are offered
by several different inductor manufacturers.
Since the LM2596 converter is a switch-mode power supply, its efficiency is significantly higher in
comparison with popular three-terminal limear reguators, especially with higher input voltages.
In many cases, the power dissipated is so low that no heatsink is required or its size could
be reduced dramatically. A standard series of inductors optimized for use with the LM2596 are
available from several different manufacturers. This feature greatly simplifies the design of
switch-mode power supplies. The LM2596 features include a guaranteed +/- 4% tolerance
on output voltage within specified input voltages and output load conditions, and +/-15% on the
oscillator frequency (+/- 2% over 0oC to 125 oC).
External shutdown is included, featuring 80 uA(typical) standby current. The output switch includes
cycle-bycycle current limiting, as well as thermal shutdown for full protection under fault conditions.

1. External components such as the catch diode, inductor, input and output capacitors can affect switching
regulator system performance.
When the LM2596 is used as shown in the Figure 1 test circuit, system performance will be as shown in system
parameters section .
2. Tested junction temperature range for the LM2596 : TLOW = –0°C THIGH = +125°C
3. The oscillator frequency reduces to approximately 18 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 dissipation of the IC by lowering the minimum duty cycle from 5% down to
approximately 2%.

Test Circuit and Layout Guidelines
Figure 2. Typical Test Circuits and Layout Guide
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 COUT wiring can cause problems.
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.

Description
This pin is the positive input supply for the LM2596 step–down switching
regulator.In order to minimize voltage transients and to supply the switching
currents needed by the regulator, a suitable input bypass capacitor must be
present .(Cin in Figure 1).
Output This is the emitter of the internal switch. The saturation voltage Vsat of this
output switch is typically 1.5 V. It should be kept in mind that the PCB area
connected to this pin should be kept to a minimum in order to minimize
coupling to sensitive circuitry.
Circuit ground pin. See the information about the printed circuit board layout.
Gnd
Feedback This pin senses regulated output voltage to complete the feedback loop.
The signal is divided by the internal resistor divider network R2, R1 and
applied to the non–inverting input of the internal error amplifier. In the
Adjustable version of the LM2596 switching regulator this pin is the direct
input of the error amplifier and the resistor network R2, R1 is connected
externally to allow programming of the output voltage.
ON/OFF It allows the switching regulator circuit to be shut down using logic level
signals, thus dropping the total input supply current to approximately 80 mA.
The threshold voltage is typically 1.4 V. Applying a voltage above this value
(up to +Vin) shuts the regulator off. If the voltage applied to this pin is lower
than 1.4V or if this pin is left open, the regulator will be in the "on" condition
