same printed circuit board, open core magnetics can cause
interference between two or more of the regulator circuits,
especially at high currents due to mutual coupling. A toroid,
pot core or E−core (closed magnetic structure) should be
used in such applications.

Maximum Rated Current
cause the inductor to overheat because of the copper wire
losses, or the core may saturate. Core saturation occurs when
the flux density is too high and consequently the cross
sectional area of the core can no longer support additional
lines of magnetic flux.
inductance value decreases rapidly and the inductor begins
to look mainly resistive. It has only the DC resistance of the
winding. This can cause the switch current to rise very
rapidly and force the LM2576 internal switch into
cycle−by−cycle current limit, thus reducing the DC output
load current. This can also result in overheating of the
Output Voltage Ripple and Transients
Source of the Output Ripple
regulator, its output voltage, if left unfiltered, will contain a
sawtooth ripple voltage at the switching frequency. The
output ripple voltage value ranges from 0.5% to 3% of the
output voltage. It is caused mainly by the inductor sawtooth
ripple current multiplied by the ESR of the output capacitor.
Short Voltage Spikes and How to Reduce Them
voltage spikes at the peaks of the sawtooth waveform (see
Figure 25). These voltage spikes are present because of the
fast switching action of the output switch, and the parasitic
inductance of the output filter capacitor. There are some
other important factors such as wiring inductance, stray
capacitance, as well as the scope probe used to evaluate these
transients, all these contribute to the amplitude of these
spikes. To minimize these voltage spikes, low inductance
capacitors should be used, and their lead lengths must be
kept short. The importance of quality printed circuit board
layout design should also be highlighted.

different saturation characteristics, and this should be kept
in mind when selecting an inductor.
Minimizing the Output Ripple
to enlarge the inductance value of the inductor L1 and/or to
use a larger value output capacitor. There is also another way
to smooth the output by means of an additional LC filter (20
mH, 100 mF), that can be added to the output (see Figure 34)
to further reduce the amount of output ripple and transients.
With such a filter it is possible to reduce the output ripple
voltage transients 10 times or more. Figure 25 shows the
difference between filtered and unfiltered output waveforms
of the regulator shown in Figure 34.

Heatsinking and Thermal Considerations
The Through−Hole Package TO−220
TO−220(T, TV) and a 5−pin surface mount D
Although the TO−220(T) package needs a heatsink under
most conditions, there are some applications that require no
heatsink to keep the LM2576 junction temperature within
the allowed operating range. Higher ambient temperatures
require some heat sinking, either to the printed circuit (PC)
board or an external heatsink.
The Surface Mount Package D
Heatsinking
designed to be soldered to the copper on the PC board. The
copper and the board are the heatsink for this package and
the other heat producing components, such as the catch
diode and inductor. The PC board copper area that the
package is soldered to should be at least 0.4 in
and ideally should have 2 or more square inches (1300 mm
of 0.0028 inch copper. Additional increases of copper area
