LM2596 IC Adjustable Negative Voltage Regulator LM2596

Product Overview

The LM2596 series consists of monolithic integrated circuits designed as easy-to-use step-down (buck) switching regulators. These devices are capable of driving a 3.0A load with excellent line and load regulation. They operate at a fixed switching frequency of 150 kHz, allowing for smaller-sized filter components compared to lower-frequency switching regulators. The series is highly efficient and features a TTL-compatible shutdown capability and thermal shutdown/current limit protection.
