DESCRIPTION
The LM2670 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 3A loads with excellent line
and load regulation characteristics. High efficiency
(>90%) is obtained through the use of a low ON-
resistance DMOS power switch. The series consists
of fixed output voltages of 3.3V, 5V and 12V output
version.
The SIMPLE SWITCHER concept provides for a
complete design using a minimum number of external
components. The switching clock frequency can be
provided by an internal fixed frequency oscillator
(260KHz) or from an externally provided clock in the
range of 280 kHz to 400 kHz which allows the use of
physically smaller sized components. A family of
standard inductors for use with the LM2670 are
available from several manufacturers to greatly
simplify the design process. The external Sync clock
provides direct and precise control of the output ripple
frequency for consistent filtering or frequency
spectrum positioning.
The LM2670 series also has built in thermal
shutdown, current 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 ensured to a ±2% tolerance.
