PWM DC-DC step-down (buck) converter ICs are an integral part of modern switch mode power supplies, power electronic circuits, and consumer electronic devices. There are a large number of electronic and power electronic circuits which require step-down (buck) or step-up (boost) DC-DC conversion. These DC-DC converters are widely used in laptops, set top boxes, TV sets, power supplies and on-card regulation applications. The higher switching frequencies of these converters ensure efficient power conversion and minimum switching losses. These DC-DC converter ICs provide variable and stable voltage/current to the loads.
What is LM2576HVS5.0/NOPB?
The LM2576HVS5.0/NOPB is a monolithic integrated circuit which implements a step-down switching regulator using a built-in buck converter. This buck switching regulator IC is manufactured by Texas Instruments. This device is capable of driving loads at 3A continuous current with excellent line and load regulation. These regulator ICs are available in fixed as well as adjustable versions. These regulators are very easy to use and require minimal number of external components. The LM2576HVS5.0/NOPB provides an efficient alternative to the 3-terminal regulators. The major advantage of LM2576HVS5.0/NOPB is that it significantly reduces the size of heat sink and does not even require a heat sink in many cases. Other standard features of this regulator include thermal shutdown and current limiters.
