The LM2595T-5.0 is a step-down DC-DC converter manufactured by HGSEMI. This fixed 1-output, 5V, 1A switch mode converter operates from an input voltage supply of 4.5V to 40V. It offers a typical efficiency of 90% over a wide input voltage range. The device is available in a TO-220-5L package and is RoHS compliant. It features cycle-by-cycle current limiting and thermal overload protection, short-circuit protection, and under-voltage lockout. This device also includes features such as power save mode, which allows the converter to operate at low frequency when light loads are present, and pulse width modulation (PWM) mode, which provides better load regulation. With a minimum drop out voltage of 2V over the full load range, it is suitable for applications where low energy consumption is important.
