LM2576 Series

Description
The MIK2576 series of regulators are monolithic integrated circuits that provide all the 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 voltages of 3.3V,
5V, 12V, 15V, and an adjustable output versions. Requiring a minimum number of external components, these regulators are simple to
use and include internal frequency compensation and a fixed-frequency oscillator. The MIK2576 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 of inductors optimized for use with the MIK2576 are available from several different
manufacturers. This feature greatly simplifies the design of switch-mode power supplies. Other features include a guaranteed ± 4%
tolerance on output voltage within specified input voltages and output load conditions, and ±10% on the oscillator frequency. External
shutdown is included, featuring 50µA (typical) standby current. The output switch includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting, as well as
thermal shutdown for full protection under fault conditions.
Note: The MIK2576HV is not produced yet.

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: All limits guaranteed at room temperature (standa rd type face) and at temperature extremes (bold type face).
Note 3: External components such as the catch diode, inductor, input and output capacitors can affect switching regulator system
performance. When the MIK2576/MIK2576HV is used as shown 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: VIN =40V (60V for high voltage version).
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 protections feature lowers the
average power dissipation of the IC by lowering the minimum duty cycle from 5% down to approximately 2%.

Test Circuit and Layout Guidelines

As in any switching regulator, layout is very important. 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.
