National Semiconductor LM2672 Simple Switcher Power Converter Datasheet
The LM2672 series are monolithic step‑down (buck) regulators that deliver up to 1 A load current with excellent line and load regulation. They operate at a fixed 260 kHz switching frequency, provide over 90 % efficiency, and require only five external components.
The device is offered in SO‑8, 8‑pin DIP and 16‑lead LLP packages, with fixed output versions of 3.3 V, 5.0 V and 12 V as well as an adjustable version. Typical applications include high‑efficiency step‑down converters and pre‑regulators for linear regulators.
