LM2596T-12 Buck Fixed 40V 12V 3A TO-220-5L DC-DC Converters DIP IC

LM2596T-12 Buck Fixed 40V 12V 3A TO-220-5L DC-DC Converters DIP IC

The LM2596T-12 Buck Fixed 40V 12V 3A DC-DC Converter DIP IC is a sophisticated, monolithic integrated circuit specifically designed for use as a step-down (buck) switching regulator. This component offers a high-efficiency solution for converting a higher input voltage to a stable, fixed 12V output voltage, all while delivering a substantial output load current of up to 3A. Its primary advantage lies in its simplicity of use, as it requires minimal external components—typically only an inductor, a few capacitors, and a diode—to form a complete, robust power supply circuit. This significantly simplifies design and reduces overall solution size and cost compared to non-integrated switching solutions.

Features:

• Fixed output voltage of 12V, eliminating the need for external divider resistors.
• Wide input voltage range up to 40VDC.
• Guaranteed 3A output load current.
• Excellent line and load regulation specifications.
• Integrated 150kHz fixed-frequency internal oscillator.
