Working Principles

The LM2576TV-015G is a step-down switching regulator that converts a higher input voltage to a lower output voltage. It utilizes a pulse-width modulation (PWM) control scheme to regulate the output voltage. The internal oscillator generates a fixed frequency square wave, which controls the duty cycle of the switch. This duty cycle determines the average output voltage.

When the switch is closed, energy is stored in the inductor. When the switch opens, the energy is transferred to the output capacitor and load. By adjusting the duty cycle, the output voltage can be regulated within the specified range.
