FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LM2674 series of regulators are monolithic
integrated circuits built with a LMDMOS process.
These regulators provide all the active functions for a
step-down (buck) switching regulator, capable of
driving a 500 mA load current with excellent line and
load regulation. These devices are available in fixed
output voltages of 3.3V, 5.0V, 12V, and an adjustable
output version.
Requiring a minimum number of external
components, these regulators are simple to use and
include patented internal frequency compensation
(Patent Nos. 5,382,918 and 5,514,947) and a fixed
frequency oscillator.
The LM2674 series operates at a switching frequency
of 260 kHz, thus allowing smaller sized filter
components than what would be needed with lower
frequency switching regulators. Because of its very
high efficiency (>90%), the copper traces on the
printed circuit board are the only heat sinking needed.
A family of standard inductors for use with the
LM2674 are available from several different
manufacturers. This feature greatly simplifies the
design of switch-mode power supplies using these
advanced ICs. Also included in the datasheet are
selector guides for diodes and capacitors designed to
work in switch-mode power supplies.
