Description
A linear regulator like the 7805 wastes the extra voltage as heat. The LM2596 is a switching regulator – it converts it efficiently (up to about 90 %), so it stays cool even when stepping 24 V down to 5 V.
Features
- Texas Instruments–type LM2596S-ADJ switching regulator, 150 kHz
- Input 4–40 V DC, output adjustable 1.25–35 V
- Output current 2 A continuous, 3 A peak (add a heatsink above 2 A)
- Multi-turn trimpot for fine voltage setting
- Solder pads IN+ / IN− / OUT+ / OUT−
How to set the voltage
Connect the input supply and a multimeter on the output, then turn the brass screw of the blue trimpot – it takes many turns, so keep going if nothing seems to change. The input must be at least about 1.5 V higher than the output. Set the voltage before connecting your board.
