LM2679T-ADJ/NOPB Datasheet PDF - TI

●The LM2679 series of regulators are monolithic integrated circuits which provide all of the active functions for a step-down (buck) switching regulator capable of driving up to 5-A loads with excellent line and load regulation characteristics. High efficiency (>90%) is obtained through the use of a low ON-resistance DMOS power switch. The series consists of fixed output voltages of 3.3 V, 5 V, and 12 V and an adjustable output version.

●The SIMPLE SWITCHER® concept provides for a complete design using a minimum number of external components. A high fixed frequency oscillator (260 kHz) allows the use of physically smaller sized components. A family of standard inductors for use with the LM2679 are available from several manufacturers to greatly simplify the design process.

●Other features include the ability to reduce the input surge current at power on by adding a soft-start timing capacitor to gradually turn on the regulator. The LM2679 series also has built-in thermal shutdown and resistor programmable current limit of the power MOSFET switch to protect the device and load circuitry under fault conditions. The output voltage is specified to a ±2% tolerance. The clock frequency is controlled to within a ±11% tolerance.
