500 mA SIMPLE SWITCHER, Step-Down Voltage
Regulator with Precision Enable
General Description
The LM22674 series of regulators are monolithic integrated
circuits which provide all of the active functions for a step-
down (buck) switching regulator capable of driving up to 500
mA loads with excellent line and load regulation characteris-
tics. 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 complete design using a minimum number of external
components and National’s WEBENCH design tool.
National’s WEBENCH tool includes features such as exter-
nal component calculation, electrical simulation, thermal sim-
ulation, and Build-It boards for easy design-in. The switching
clock frequency is provided by an internal fixed frequency os-
cillator which operates at 500 kHz. The LM22674 series also
has built in thermal shutdown, current limiting and an enable
control input that can power down the regulator to a low 25
A quiescent current standby condition.
