Voltage Regulator
General Description
The LM2678 series of regulators are monolithic integrated
circuits which provide all of the active functions for a
step-down (buck) switching regulator capable of driving up to
5A loads with excellent line and load regulation characteris-
tics. High efficiency (
low ON-resistance DMOS power switch. The series consists
of fixed output voltages of 3.3V, 5V and 12V and an adjust-
able output version.
The SIMPLE SWITCHER concept provides for a complete
design using a minimum number of external components. A
high fixed frequency oscillator (260KHz) allows the use of
physically smaller sized components. A family of standard in-
ductors for use with the LM2678 are available from several
manufacturers to greatly simplify the design process.
The LM2678 series also has built in thermal shutdown, cur-
rent limiting and an ON/OFF control input that can power
down the regulator to a low 50µA quiescent current standby
condition. The output voltage is guaranteed to a
ance. The clock frequency is controlled to within a
erance.
