LM22673 Datasheet | National Semiconductor

Description The LM22673 series of regulators are monolithic integrated circuits which provide all of the active functions for a stepdown (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 N-channel MOSFET. The series consists of a fixed 5V output and an adjustable version. The SIMPLE SWITCHER® concept provides for an easy to use plete design using a minimum number of external ponents and National’s Webench® design tool. National’s Webench® tool includes features such as external ponent calculation, electrical simulation, thermal simulation, and Build-It boards for easy design-in. The switching clock frequency is provided by an internal fixed frequency oscillator which operates at 500 k Hz. The LM22673 series also has built in thermal shutdown and current limiting. The current limit threshold can be adjusted using an external resistor. An adjustable soft-start feature is provided by selecting an appropriate external soft-start capacitor.
