LM2596SX-12 is listed in the Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators range at ChipApex. The manufacturer field lists Texas Instruments. Its product description is IC REG BUCK 12V 3A TO263. Review the specifications below when checking this part for your BOM.
The LM2596SX-12 is a Texas Instruments SIMPLE SWITCHER step-down voltage regulator in a TO-263 (D²PAK) surface-mount package. It provides a fixed 12V output with a maximum load current of 3A. The device operates from an input voltage range of 4.5V to 40V at a fixed switching frequency of 150kHz. Key electrical parameters include a typical efficiency of 80%, a shutdown supply current of 80µA, and an operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.
Verify the suffix 'SX' confirms the TO-263 surface-mount package variant. Confirm the '-12' designation specifies the fixed 12V output version. Check datasheet revisions for any updates regarding lead-free compliance or pinout consistency with legacy National Semiconductor versions.
Select this part when a fixed 12V output is required without external feedback resistors. Ensure the input voltage remains within the 4.5V to 40V range. Verify thermal management capabilities for the TO-263 package if the full 3A load is utilized continuously.
This component belongs to the LM2596 series of monolithic integrated step-down switching regulators. The 'SX' suffix denotes the D²PAK (TO-263) surface-mount package, distinguishing it from the through-hole TO-220 variant. It is a mature product originally developed by National Semiconductor before acquisition by Texas Instruments.
LM2596S-12/NOPB: Equivalent fixed 12V version in TO-263 package. LM2596SX-12/NOPB: RoHS-compliant version of the same device.
