LM2596  
3.0 A, Step-Down Switching  
Regulator  
The LM2596 regulator is monolithic integrated circuit ideally suited  
for easy and convenient design of a stepdown switching regulator  
(buck converter). It is capable of driving a 3.0 A load with excellent  
line and load regulation. This device is available in adjustable output  
version and it is internally compensated to minimize the number of  
external components to simplify the power supply design.  
http://onsemi.com  
Since LM2596 converter is a switchmode power supply, its  
efficiency is significantly higher in comparison with popular  
threeterminal linear regulators, especially with higher input voltages.  
The LM2596 operates at a switching frequency of 150 kHz thus  
allowing smaller sized filter components than what would be needed  
with lower frequency switching regulators. Available in a standard  
5lead TO220 package with several different lead bend options, and

PIN FUNCTION DESCRIPTION  
Pin

Description (Refer to Figure 1)  
1
V
in  
This pin is the positive input supply for the LM2596 stepdown switching regulator. In order to minimize voltage transi-  
ents and to supply the switching currents needed by the regulator, a suitable input bypass capacitor must be present  
(C in Figure 1).  
in  
2
Output  
This is the emitter of the internal switch. The saturation voltage V of this output switch is typically 1.5 V. It should be  
kept in mind that the PCB area connected to this pin should be kept to a minimum in order to minimize coupling to  
sensitive circuitry.  
sat

GND  
Circuit ground pin. See the information about the printed circuit board layout.  
Feedback This pin is the direct input of the error amplifier and the resistor network R2, R1 is connected externally to allow pro-  
gramming of the output voltage.  
5
ON/OFF  
It allows the switching regulator circuit to be shut down using logic level signals, thus dropping the total input supply  
current to approximately 80 mA. The threshold voltage is typically 1.6 V. Applying a voltage above this value (up to  
+V ) shuts the regulator off. If the voltage applied to this pin is lower than 1.6 V or if this pin is left open, the regulator  
in  
will be in the “on” condition.

1. External components such as the catch diode, inductor, input and output capacitors can affect switching regulator system performance.  
When the LM2596 is used as shown in the Figure 15 test circuit, system performance will be as shown in system parameters section.  
2. The oscillator frequency reduces to approximately 30 kHz in the event of an output short or an overload which causes the regulated output  
voltage to drop approximately 40% from the nominal output voltage. This self protection feature lowers the average dissipation of the IC by  
lowering the minimum duty cycle from 5% down to approximately 2%.  
3. No diode, inductor or capacitor connected to output (Pin 2) sourcing the current.  
4. Feedback (Pin 4) removed from output and connected to 0 V.  
5. Feedback (Pin 4) removed from output and connected to +12 V to force the output transistor “off”.

PCB LAYOUT GUIDELINES  
As in any switching regulator, the layout of the printed  
On the other hand, the PCB area connected to the Pin 2  
(emitter of the internal switch) of the LM2596 should be  
kept to a minimum in order to minimize coupling to sensitive  
circuitry.  
Another sensitive part of the circuit is the feedback. It is  
important to keep the sensitive feedback wiring short. To  
assure this, physically locate the programming resistors near  
to the regulator, when using the adjustable version of the  
LM2596 regulator.  
circuit board is very important. Rapidly switching currents  
associated with wiring inductance, stray capacitance and  
parasitic inductance of the printed circuit board traces can  
generate voltage transients which can generate  
electromagnetic interferences (EMI) and affect the desired  
operation. As indicated in the Figure 15, to minimize  
inductance and ground loops, the length of the leads  
indicated by heavy lines should be kept as short as possible.  
For best results, singlepoint grounding (as indicated) or  
ground plane construction should be used.  
DESIGN PROCEDURE  
Buck Converter Basics  
This period ends when the power switch is once again  
turned on. Regulation of the converter is accomplished by  
varying the duty cycle of the power switch. It is possible to  
describe the duty cycle as follows:  
The LM2596 is a “Buck” or StepDown Converter which  
is the most elementary forwardmode converter. Its basic  
schematic can be seen in Figure 16.  
The operation of this regulator topology has two distinct  
time periods. The first one occurs when the series switch is  
on, the input voltage is connected to the input of the inductor.  
The output of the inductor is the output voltage, and the  
rectifier (or catch diode) is reverse biased. During this  
period, since there is a constant voltage source connected  
across the inductor, the inductor current begins to linearly  
ramp upwards, as described by the following equation:  
t
on  
T
d +  
, where T is the period of switching.  
For the buck converter with ideal components, the duty  
cycle can also be described as:

During this “on” period, energy is stored within the core  
material in the form of magnetic flux. If the inductor is  
properly designed, there is sufficient energy stored to carry  
the requirements of the load during the “off” period.

The next period is the “off” period of the power switch.  
When the power switch turns off, the voltage across the  
inductor reverses its polarity and is clamped at one diode  
voltage drop below ground by the catch diode. The current  
now flows through the catch diode thus maintaining the load  
current loop. This removes the stored energy from the  
inductor. The inductor current during this time is:

To prevent large voltage transients from appearing at the input  
and for stable operation of the converter, an aluminium or  
tantalum electrolytic bypass capacitor is needed between the  
A 100 mF, 50 V aluminium electrolytic capacitor located near  
the input and ground pin provides sufficient bypassing.  
input pin +V and ground pin GND This capacitor should be  
in  
located close to the IC using short leads. This capacitor should  
have a low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) value.  
For additional information see input capacitor section in the  
“Application Information” section of this data sheet.  
3. Catch Diode Selection (D1)  
3. Catch Diode Selection (D1)  
A. Since the diode maximum peak current exceeds the  
regulator maximum load current the catch diode current  
rating must be at least 1.2 times greater than the maximum  
load current. For a robust design, the diode should have a  
current rating equal to the maximum current limit of the  
LM2596 to be able to withstand a continuous output short.  
B. The reverse voltage rating of the diode should be at least  
1.25 times the maximum input voltage.  
A. For this example, a 3.0 A current rating is adequate.  
B. For robust design use a 30 V 1N5824 Schottky diode or  
any suggested fast recovery diode in the Table 2.

A. Since the LM2596 is a forwardmode switching regulator  
with voltage mode control, its open loop has 2pole1zero  
frequency characteristic. The loop stability is determined by  
the output capacitor (capacitance, ESR) and inductance  
values.  
A. In this example is recommended Nichicon PM  
capacitors: 470 mF/35 V or 220 mF/35 V  
For stable operation use recommended values of the output  
capacitors in Table 1.  
Low ESR electrolytic capacitors between 220uFand 1500uF  
provide best results.

APPLICATION INFORMATION  
EXTERNAL COMPONENTS  
regulator loop stability. The ESR of the output capacitor and  
the peaktopeak value of the inductor ripple current are the  
main factors contributing to the output ripple voltage value.  
Standard aluminium electrolytics could be adequate for  
some applications but for quality design, low ESR types are  
recommended.  
An aluminium electrolytic capacitor’s ESR value is  
related to many factors such as the capacitance value, the  
voltage rating, the physical size and the type of construction.  
In most cases, the higher voltage electrolytic capacitors have  
lower ESR value. Often capacitors with much higher  
voltage ratings may be needed to provide low ESR values  
that, are required for low output ripple voltage.  
Feedfoward Capacitor  
(Adjustable Output Voltage Version)  
This capacitor adds lead compensation to the feedback  
loop and increases the phase margin for better loop stability.  
For CFF selection, see the design procedure section.  
Input Capacitor (Cin)  
The Input Capacitor Should Have a Low ESR  
For stable operation of the switch mode converter a low  
ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) aluminium or solid  
tantalum bypass capacitor is needed between the input pin  
and the ground pin, to prevent large voltage transients from  
appearing at the input. It must be located near the regulator  
and use short leads. With most electrolytic capacitors, the  
capacitance value decreases and the ESR increases with  
lower temperatures. For reliable operation in temperatures  
below 25°C larger values of the input capacitor may be  
needed. Also paralleling a ceramic or solid tantalum  
capacitor will increase the regulator stability at cold  
temperatures.  
RMS Current Rating of C  
in  
The important parameter of the input capacitor is the RMS  
current rating. Capacitors that are physically large and have  
large surface area will typically have higher RMS current  
ratings. For a given capacitor value, a higher voltage  
electrolytic capacitor will be physically larger than a lower  
voltage capacitor, and thus be able to dissipate more heat to  
the surrounding air, and therefore will have a higher RMS  
current rating. The consequence of operating an electrolytic  
capacitor beyond the RMS current rating is a shortened  
operating life. In order to assure maximum capacitor  
operating lifetime, the capacitor’s RMS ripple current rating  
should be:  
The Output Capacitor Requires an ESR Value  
That Has an Upper and Lower Limit  
As mentioned above, a low ESR value is needed for low  
output ripple voltage, typically 1% to 2% of the output  
voltage. But if the selected capacitor’s ESR is extremely low  
(below 0.05 W), there is a possibility of an unstable feedback  
loop, resulting in oscillation at the output. This situation can  
occur when a tantalum capacitor, that can have a very low  
ESR, is used as the only output capacitor.  
At Low Temperatures, Put in Parallel Aluminium  
Electrolytic Capacitors with Tantalum Capacitors  
Electrolytic capacitors are not recommended for  
temperatures below 25°C. The ESR rises dramatically at  
cold temperatures and typically rises 3 times at 25°C and  
as much as 10 times at 40°C. Solid tantalum capacitors  
have much better ESR spec at cold temperatures and are  
recommended for temperatures below 25°C. They can be  
also used in parallel with aluminium electrolytics. The value  
of the tantalum capacitor should be about 10% or 20% of the  
total capacitance. The output capacitor should have at least  
50% higher RMS ripple current rating at 150 kHz than the  
peaktopeakinductor ripple current.

Locate the Catch Diode Close to the LM2596  
The LM2596 is a stepdown buck converter; it requires a  
fast diode to provide a return path for the inductor current  
when the switch turns off. This diode must be located close  
to the LM2596 using short leads and short printed circuit  
traces to avoid EMI problems.  
inductor values to keep the inductor current flowing  
continuously, especially at low output load currents and/or  
high input voltages.  
To simplify the inductor selection process, an inductor  
selection guide for the LM2596 regulator was added to this  
data sheet (Figure 18). This guide assumes that the regulator  
is operating in the continuous mode, and selects an inductor  
that will allow a peaktopeak inductor ripple current to be  
a certain percentage of the maximum design load current.  
This percentage is allowed to change as different design load  
currents are selected. For light loads (less than  
approximately 300 mA) it may be desirable to operate the  
regulator in the discontinuous mode, because the inductor  
value and size can be kept relatively low. Consequently, the  
percentage of inductor peaktopeak current increases. This  
discontinuous mode of operation is perfectly acceptable for  
this type of switching converter. Any buck regulator will be  
forced to enter discontinuous mode if the load current is light  
enough.  
Use a Schottky or a Soft Switching  
UltraFast Recovery Diode  
Since the rectifier diodes are very significant sources of  
losses within switching power supplies, choosing the  
rectifier that best fits into the converter design is an  
important process. Schottky diodes provide the best  
performance because of their fast switching speed and low  
forward voltage drop.  
They provide the best efficiency especially in low output  
voltage applications (5.0 V and lower). Another choice  
could be FastRecovery, or UltraFast Recovery diodes. It  
has to be noted, that some types of these diodes with an  
abrupt turnoff characteristic may cause instability or  
EMI troubles.  
A fastrecovery diode with soft recovery characteristics  
can better fulfill some quality, low noise design requirements.  
Table 2 provides a list of suitable diodes for the LM2596  
regulator. Standard 50/60 Hz rectifier diodes, such as the  
1N4001 series or 1N5400 series are NOT suitable.

Using an improper or poorly designed inductor can cause  
high voltage spikes generated by the rate of transitions in  
current within the switching power supply, and the  
possibility of core saturation can arise during an abnormal  
operational mode. Voltage spikes can cause the  
semiconductors to enter avalanche breakdown and the part  
can instantly fail if enough energy is applied. It can also  
cause significant RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) and  
EMI (ElectroMagnetic Interference) problems.  
Figure 19. Continuous Mode Switching Current

Selecting the Right Inductor Style  
Some important considerations when selecting a core type  
are core material, cost, the output power of the power supply,  
the physical volume the inductor must fit within, and the  
amount of EMI (ElectroMagnetic Interference) shielding  
that the core must provide. The inductor selection guide  
covers different styles of inductors, such as pot core, Ecore,  
toroid and bobbin core, as well as different core materials  
such as ferrites and powdered iron from different  
manufacturers.  
For high quality design regulators the toroid core seems to  
be the best choice. Since the magnetic flux is contained  
within the core, it generates less EMI, reducing noise  
problems in sensitive circuits. The least expensive is the  
bobbin core type, which consists of wire wound on a ferrite  
rod core. This type of inductor generates more EMI due to  
the fact that its core is open, and the magnetic flux is not  
contained within the core.  
Continuous and Discontinuous Mode of Operation  
The LM2596 stepdown converter can operate in both the  
continuous and the discontinuous modes of operation. The  
regulator works in the continuous mode when loads are  
relatively heavy, the current flows through the inductor  
continuously and never falls to zero. Under light load  
conditions, the circuit will be forced to the discontinuous  
mode when inductor current falls to zero for certain period  
of time (see Figure 19 and Figure 20). Each mode has  
distinctively different operating characteristics, which can  
affect the regulator performance and requirements. In many  
cases the preferred mode of operation is the continuous  
mode. It offers greater output power, lower peak currents in  
the switch, inductor and diode, and can have a lower output

especially at high currents due to mutual coupling. A toroid,

used in such applications.

Exceeding an inductor’s maximum current rating may  
cause the inductor to overheat because of the copper wire  
losses, or the core may saturate. Core saturation occurs when  
the flux density is too high and consequently the cross  
sectional area of the core can no longer support additional  
lines of magnetic flux.  
This causes the permeability of the core to drop, the  
inductance value decreases rapidly and the inductor begins  
to look mainly resistive. It has only the DC resistance of the  
winding. This can cause the switch current to rise very  
rapidly and force the LM2596 internal switch into  
cyclebycyclecurrent limit, thus reducing the DC output  
load current. This can also result in overheating of the

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS  
Output Voltage Ripple and Transients  
Minimizing the Output Ripple  
Source of the Output Ripple  
In order to minimize the output ripple voltage it is possible  
to enlarge the inductance value of the inductor L1 and/or to  
use a larger value output capacitor. There is also another way  
to smooth the output by means of an additional LC filter (20  
mH, 100 mF), that can be added to the output (see Figure 30)  
to further reduce the amount of output ripple and transients.  
With such a filter it is possible to reduce the output ripple  
voltage transients 10 times or more. Figure 21 shows the  
difference between filtered and unfiltered output waveforms  
of the regulator shown in Figure 30.  
Since the LM2596 is a switch mode power supply  
regulator, its output voltage, if left unfiltered, will contain a  
sawtooth ripple voltage at the switching frequency. The  
output ripple voltage value ranges from 0.5% to 3% of the  
output voltage. It is caused mainly by the inductor sawtooth  
ripple current multiplied by the ESR of the output capacitor.  
Short Voltage Spikes and How to Reduce Them  
The regulator output voltage may also contain short  
voltage spikes at the peaks of the sawtooth waveform (see  
Figure 21). These voltage spikes are present because of the  
fast switching action of the output switch, and the parasitic  
inductance of the output filter capacitor. There are some  
other important factors such as wiring inductance, stray  
capacitance, as well as the scope probe used to evaluate these  
transients, all these contribute to the amplitude of these  
spikes. To minimize these voltage spikes, low inductance  
capacitors should be used, and their lead lengths must be  
kept short. The importance of quality printed circuit board  
layout design should also be highlighted.  
The lower waveform is from the normal unfiltered output  
of the converter, while the upper waveform shows the output  
ripple voltage filtered by an additional LC filter.  
Heatsinking and Thermal Considerations  
The ThroughHole Package TO220  
The LM2596 is available in two packages, a 5pin  
2
TO220(T, TV) and a 5pin surface mount D PAK(D2T).  
Although the TO220(T) package needs a heatsink under  
most conditions, there are some applications that require no  
heatsink to keep the LM2596 junction temperature within  
the allowed operating range. Higher ambient temperatures  
require some heat sinking, either to the printed circuit (PC)  
board or an external heatsink.

heat dissipation significantly. If further thermal  
improvements are needed, double sided or multilayer PC  
boards with large copper areas should be considered. In  
order to achieve the best thermal performance, it is highly  
recommended to use wide copper traces as well as large  
areas of copper in the printed circuit board layout. The only  
exception to this is the OUTPUT (switch) pin, which should  
not have large areas of copper (see page 8 ‘PCB Layout  
Guideline’).

For a freestanding application when no heatsink is used,  
the junction temperature can be determined by the following  
expression:  
TJ = (RqJA) (PD) + TA  
Thermal Analysis and Design  
The following procedure must be performed to determine  
whether or not a heatsink will be required. First determine:

caused by the dissipated power and T is the maximum  
ambient temperature.

design, the maximum junction temperature  
should not exceed 110°C to assure safe  
operation. For every additional +10°C

withstand, the estimated operating lifetime

ADDITIONAL APPLICATIONS  
Using a delayed startup arrangement, the input capacitor  
can charge up to a higher voltage before the switchmode  
regulator begins to operate.  
Inverting Regulator  
An inverting buckboost regulator using the  
LM2596ADJ is shown in Figure 22. This circuit converts  
a positive input voltage to a negative output voltage with a  
common ground by bootstrapping the regulators ground to  
the negative output voltage. By grounding the feedback pin,  
the regulator senses the inverted output voltage and  
regulates it.  
In this example the LM259612 is used to generate a  
12 V output. The maximum input voltage in this case  
cannot exceed +28 V because the maximum voltage  
appearing across the regulator is the absolute sum of the  
input and output voltages and this must be limited to a  
maximum of 40 V.  
This circuit configuration is able to deliver approximately  
0.7 A to the output when the input voltage is 12 V or higher.  
At lighter loads the minimum input voltage required drops  
to approximately 4.7 V, because the buckboost regulator  
topology can produce an output voltage that, in its absolute  
value, is either greater or less than the input voltage.  
Since the switch currents in this buckboost configuration  
are higher than in the standard buck converter topology, the  
available output current is lower.  
This type of buckboost inverting regulator can also  
require a larger amount of startup input current, even for  
light loads. This may overload an input power source with  
a current limit less than 5.0 A.  
The high input current needed for startup is now partially  
supplied by the input capacitor C .  
in  
It has been already mentioned above, that in some  
situations, the delayed startup or the undervoltage lockout  
features could be very useful. A delayed startup circuit  
applied to a buckboost converter is shown in Figure 27.  
Figure 29 in the “Undervoltage Lockout” section describes  
an undervoltage lockout feature for the same converter  
topology.  
Design Recommendations:  
The inverting regulator operates in a different manner  
than the buck converter and so a different design procedure  
has to be used to select the inductor L1 or the output  
capacitor C  
.
out  
The output capacitor values must be larger than what is  
normally required for buck converter designs. Low input  
voltages or high output currents require a large value output  
capacitor (in the range of thousands of mF).  
The recommended range of inductor values for the  
inverting converter design is between 68 mH and 220 mH. To  
select an inductor with an appropriate current rating, the  
inductor peak current has to be calculated.  
The following formula is used to obtain the peak inductor  
current:  
I
(V ) |V |)

Load in  
O
in  
2L  
Such an amount of input startup current is needed for at  
least 2.0 ms or more. The actual time depends on the output  
voltage and size of the output capacitor.  
Because of the relatively high startup currents required by  
this inverting regulator topology, the use of a delayed startup  
or an undervoltage lockout circuit is recommended.

Circuit Using an Optocoupler  
Circuit Using a PNP Transistor  
With the inverting configuration, the use of the ON/OFF  
pin requires some level shifting techniques. This is caused  
by the fact, that the ground pin of the converter IC is no  
longer at ground. Now, the ON/OFF pin threshold voltage  
(1.3 V approximately) has to be related to the negative  
output voltage level. There are many different possible shut  
down methods, two of them are shown in Figures 24 and 25.  
Negative Boost Regulator  
This example is a variation of the buckboost topology  
and it is called negative boost regulator. This regulator  
experiences relatively high switch current, especially at low  
input voltages. The internal switch current limiting results in  
lower output load current capability.  
The circuit in Figure 26 shows the negative boost  
configuration. The input voltage in this application ranges  
from 5.0 V to 12 V and provides a regulated 12 V output.  
If the input voltage is greater than 12 V, the output will rise  
above 12 V accordingly, but will not damage the regulator.

Design Recommendations:  
The same design rules as for the previous inverting  
buckboost converter can be applied. The output capacitor  
values for the negative boost regulator is the same as for  
inverting converter design.  
Another important point is that these negative boost  
converters cannot provide current limiting load protection in  
the event of a short in the output so some other means, such  
as a fuse, may be necessary to provide the load protection.

must be chosen larger than would be required for a what

currents require a large value output capacitor (in the range  
of thousands of mF). The recommended range of inductor

LM2596  
Delayed Startup  
There are some applications, like the inverting regulator  
already mentioned above, which require a higher amount of  
startup current. In such cases, if the input power source is  
limited, this delayed startup feature becomes very useful.  
To provide a time delay between the time when the input  
voltage is applied and the time when the output voltage  
comes up, the circuit in Figure 27 can be used. As the input  
voltage is applied, the capacitor C1 charges up, and the  
voltage across the resistor R2 falls down. When the voltage  
on the ON/OFF pin falls below the threshold value 1.3 V, the  
regulator starts up. Resistor R1 is included to limit the  
maximum voltage applied to the ON/OFF pin. It reduces the  
power supply noise sensitivity, and also limits the capacitor  
C1 discharge current, but its use is not mandatory.

When a high 50 Hz or 60 Hz (100 Hz or 120 Hz

cause some problems by coupling the ripple into the  
ON/OFF pin, the regulator could be switched periodically  
on and off with the line (or double) frequency.
