The LM2594/LM2594HV series of regulators are monolithic integrated circuits that provide all the active functions for a step-down (buck) switching regulator, capable of driving a 0.5A load with excellent line and load regulation. These devices are available in fixed output voltages of 3.3V, 5V, 12V, and an adjustable output version, and are packaged in a 8-lead DIP and a 8-lead surface mount package.
Requiring a minimum number of external components, these regulators are simple to use and feature internal frequency compensation†, a fixed-frequency oscillator, and improved line and load regulation specifications.
