00 — Overview

What the LM2576-12 family does

The LM2576/LM2576HV series are monolithic 3A step-down voltage regulators available in fixed 3.3V, 5V, 12V, and 15V versions plus an adjustable configuration. Standard and HV variants support input voltages up to 40V and 60V respectively. These devices operate with a 52kHz fixed frequency, deliver 75% efficiency at 3A load, and require only four external components. They function as high-efficiency power supplies for simple switching applications, pre-regulators for linear regulators, and positive-to-negative converters. The family includes thermal shutdown, current limiting, and TTL shutdown capability to ensure reliable operation across commercial and industrial temperature ranges.
