Texas Instruments LM2596SX-12

LM2596SX-12 Overview
This particular component is manufactured by Texas Instruments and falls under the category of PMIC - Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators. It is a chip that serves as a power management integrated circuit, specifically a DC DC switching regulator. It is designed to regulate voltage levels within a circuit. The chip is designed to be mounted on a surface rather than being inserted into a socket. It is also free of lead, making it more environmentally friendly. The technology used in this chip is bipolar, meaning it utilizes both positive and negative charges for its operation. When exposed to high temperatures during the manufacturing process, this chip can withstand a peak reflow temperature of 235 degrees Celsius. It has a single output and can accept a maximum input voltage of 40V. The output voltage of this chip is fixed at 12V, meaning it will consistently produce a 12V output. The frequency at which this chip switches between positive and negative charges is 150kHz. This switching frequency is important in maintaining a stable output voltage. The chip has a width of 8.64mm, making it compact and suitable for use in a variety of electronic devices.
