The LM2596 series of regulators are monolithic integrated
circuits ideally suited for easy and convenient design of a
step-down switching regualtor(buck converter).
All circuits of this series are capable of driving a 3.0A load
with excellent line and load regulation. These devices are
available in fixed output voltages of 3.3V, 5.0V,12V, 15V,
and an adjustable output version.
