3A Step Down Voltage Regulator- CM2596S
General Description

 The CM2596S series are step-down switching regulators with all required active functions. It is capable of driving 3A load with excellent line and load regulations. These devices are available in fixed output voltages of 3.3V, 5V, and an adjustable output version.

The CM2596S series offers a high-efficiency replacement for popular three-terminal linear regulators. Also it requires a minimum number of external components. It substantially not only reduces the area of board size but also the size of the heat sink, and in some cases no heat sink is required.

±4% tolerance on output voltage within specified input voltages and output load conditions is guaranteed. Also, the oscillator frequency accuracy is within ±15%. External shutdown is included, featuring 150μA (typical) standby current. The output switch includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting, as well as thermal shutdown for full protection under fault conditions.
