LM2675 Series Buck Regulator Design Procedure (Adjustable Output)

PROCEDURE (Adjustable Output Voltage Version)

EXAMPLE (Adjustable Output Voltage Version)

To simplify the buck regulator design procedure, Texas Instruments

is making available computer design software to be used with the

SIMPLE SWITCHER line of switching regulators.LM267X Made

Use the following formula to select the appropriate resistor values.

values minimize noise pickup in the sensitive feedback pin. (For the

lowest temperature coefficient and the best stability with time, use

1% metal film resistors.)
