Description
LM2679 SIMPLE SWITCHER 5A Step-Down Voltage Regulator with Adjustable Current Limit March 2000 LM2679 SIMPLE SWITCHER ® 5A Step-Down Voltage Regulat.
The LM2679 series of regulators are monolithic integrated circuits which provide all of the active functions for a step-down (buck) switching regulato.
Features
* include the ability to reduce the input surge current at power-ON by adding a softstart timing capacitor to gradually turn on the regulator. The LM2679 series also has built in thermal shutdown and resistor programmable current limit of the power MOSFET switch to protect the device and load circuitr
Applications
* n Simple to design, high efficiency ( > 90%) step-down switching regulators n Efficient system pre-regulator for linear voltage regulators n Battery chargers
Typical Application
DS100847-3
