LM2596S-12 data

General Description
The LM2596 series of regulators are monolithic integrated circuits
that provide all the active functions for a step-down (buck) switching
regulator, capable of driving a 3A 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. Requiring a minimum number of external components,
these regulators are simple to use and include internal frequency
compensation†, and a fixed-frequency oscillator.The LM2596 series
operates at a switching frequency of 150 kHz thus allowing smaller
sized filter components than what would be needed with lower frequency
switching regulators. Available in a standard 5-lead TO-220 package
with several different lead bend options, and a 5-lead TO-263 surface
mount package. A standard series of inductors are available from
several different manufacturers optimized for use with the LM2596
series. This feature greatly simplifies the design of switch-mode
power supplies. Other features include a guaranteed ±4% tolerance on
output voltage under specified input voltage and output load
conditions, and ±15% on the oscillator frequency. External shutdown is
included, featuring typically 80 μA standby current. Self protection
features include a two stage frequency reducing current limit for the
output switch and an over temperature shutdown for complete protection
under fault conditions.

    ... Switching power supplies introduce ripple voltage on the voltage rails they are regulating, requiring multiple LC stages for filtering which further slows down the regulator's response time. ... Linear regulators reject this ripple but they have finite tracking bandwidth which limits their usefulness beyond 100kHz. ... precision voltage regulation is nearly impossible to achieve with switching regulators but it is nearly trivial and fairly inexpensive with linears. ...
