National Semiconductor LM2585 Simple Switcher 3A Flyback Regulator Datasheet
The LM2585 series are monolithic switching regulators designed for flyback, boost and forward converter topologies. The device is offered in four output‑voltage versions (3.3 V, 5.0 V, 12 V and adjustable) and requires only a few external components.
Key features include a 3 A NPN output switch that can stand off 65 V, a fixed 100 kHz oscillator, wide input range (4 V‑40 V), soft‑start, current‑mode control and a guaranteed +4 % output‑voltage tolerance.
