XL2596
General Description
The XL2596 is a 150 KHz fixed frequency
PWM buck (step-down) DC/DC converter,
capable of driving a 3A load with high
efficiency, low ripple and excellent line and
load regulation. Requiring a minimum
number of external components, the regulator
is simple to use and include internal
frequency
compensation
and
a
fixed-frequency oscillator.
The PWM control circuit is able to adjust the
duty ratio linearly from 0 to 100%. An enable
function, an over current protection function
is built inside. When second current limit
function happens, the operation frequency
will be reduced from 150KHz to 50KHz. An
internal compensation block is built in to
minimize external component count.

Description
Supply Voltage Input Pin. XL2596 operates from a 4.5V to
40V DC voltage. Bypass Vin to GND with a suitably large
VIN
capacitor to eliminate noise on the input.
Power Switch Output Pin (SW). Output is the switch node that
OUTPUT
supplies power to the output.
Ground Pin. Care must be taken in layout. This pin should be
placed outside of the Schottky Diode to output capacitor
GND
ground path to prevent switching current spikes from inducing
voltage noise into XL2596.
Feedback Pin (FB). Through an external resistor divider
FEEDBACK network, Feedback senses the output voltage and regulates it.
The feedback threshold voltage is 1.23V.
Enable Pin. Drive ON/OFF pin low to turn on the device, drive
ON/OFF
it high to turn it off. Floating is default low.

Note1:
Stresses greater than those listed under Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage
to the device. This is a stress rating only and functional operation of the device at these or any
other conditions above those indicated in the operation is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect reliability.
