Working Principles

The LM2576T-005G is a step-down switching regulator that converts higher input voltages into lower output voltages. It utilizes a pulse-width modulation (PWM) control scheme to regulate the output voltage. The internal oscillator generates a fixed frequency signal, which controls the switching of an internal power switch connected to the inductor and diode. By varying the duty cycle of the switch, the average output voltage is regulated.
