APPLICATION INFORMATION
Careful layout is impo rtant with an y switching regulator. Rapidly switching currents
associated with wiring inductan ce generate vo ltage transients which can cause problems. To
minimize inductance and ground loops, the lengths of the lead s indicated by heavy lines in
Figure 1 below should be kept as short as possible. Single point grounding or ground plan e
construction should be used for best results. When using the Adjustable version, place the
programmi ng resistors as close as possible to LM2576BM, to keep the sensitive feedback
wiring short.

A low ESR aluminu m o r tantalum bypass capacitor is needed between the input pin and
ground pin. It must be located near the regulator using short leads. This capacitor prevents
large voltage transients fro m appearing at the input, and provides the instantaneous current
needed each time the switch turns on. Selecting an input capacitor requires consulting the
manufacturers data sheet for maximu m allowable RMS ripple current. For a maximu m
ambient temperature of 40°C, a general guideline would be to select a capacitor with a
ripple current rating of approximately 50% of the DC load current. For ambient
