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 500mA load current with excellent line and load regulation. These devices
are available in fixed output voltages of 3.3V, 5V, 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 and a fixed frequency oscillator.
The LM2674 series operates at a
switching frequency of 260kHz, thus allowing smaller sized filter components than
what is required with lower frequency switching regulators. Because of very high
efficiency (> 90%), the copper traces on the printed-circuit board are the only
heat sinking required.
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 data sheet are selector guides for diodes and capacitors
designed to work in switch-mode power supplies.
Other features include a specified
±1.5% tolerance on output voltage within specified input voltages and output load
conditions, and ±10% on the oscillator frequency. External shutdown is included,
featuring typically 50µA standby current. The output switch includes current
limiting, as well as thermal shutdown for full protection under fault
conditions.
