The LM2596SX-12 is a rugged, high-efficiency switching regulator suited for a wide variety of industrial, consumer and telecom applications where reliable voltage regulation is needed. This regulator is an integral part of the LM2596SX-12 Series family of DC-to-DC switching regulators and is designed to provide a reliable and low-cost solution for virtually any OEM product. The LM2596SX-12 features a wide input voltage range, wide output voltage range, high efficiency up to 95.7%, adjustable output voltage range from 1.25V to 15V, and high frequency switching with a maximum output voltage current rating of 1.5A.

Working Principle

The LM2596SX-12 is a Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) DC-to-DC switching regulator featuring an adjustable output voltage and current limitation. The output voltage of this device is controlled by the external sensing of a current sourced from the output. This current is compared to a fixed reference voltage and the duty cycle of the PWM switching waveform is modulated to track the demanded output voltage. The voltage is sensed across a resistive divider connected between the output and the FB pin. Output voltage is typically ramped up at power up, then regulated once the voltage reaches the desired level.

Applications

The LM2596SX-12 is suitable for a wide range of applications, ranging from standby sources and DC-to-DC power conversion, to LED lighting and battery-powered systems. It also has a wide input voltage range, high efficiency, and low output voltage ripple, making it ideal for applications such as motor drivers and lighting systems. Additionally, it is suitable for applications where low emissions and low EMI restrictions need to be met. Other applications include power supplies, USB power sources, and various consumer electronics products.

The LM2596SX-12 incorporates some additional features in order to maximize efficiency. A soft-start feature is included to reduce inrush current and minimize the impact of start-up on the rest of the external circuit. A power save mode is also integrated which reduces the average current draw to a small value when the output voltage is not needed. This eliminates the need to include external components such as MOSFETs, thus improving overall system efficiency. Additionally, this device includes protection against under-voltage, over-voltage, and short circuit conditions.

Conclusion

The LM2596SX-12 is a versatile DC-to-DC switching regulator which features an adjustable output voltage and current limitation. Its wide input voltage range, high efficiency, and low output voltage ripple make it suitable for a wide range of industrial, consumer, and telecom applications. This device is also easy to use and integrate into existing designs as it requires few external components. Its wide range of features, such as soft-start, power save mode, and over-voltage protection, make it an ideal choice for any application where reliable voltage regulation is required.
