LM2596S-12RG

HANSCHIP semiconductor · DC-DC Converters · TO-263-5

LM2596S-12RG from HANSCHIP semiconductor, in a TO-263-5. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 VIN power_in Supply input that requires a DC supply of 4.5 V to 40 V (the 57 V limit applies only to the HV variants), with a large bypass capacitor between VIN and GND to suppress supply noise.
2 OUTPUT output Power switch output and switching node that drives the output load; the OUT pin negative voltage must stay above the internal parasitic diode turn-on voltage, so a Schottky diode with Vf below 0.5 V is recommended.
3 GND power_in Ground pin that should be routed on a ground path away from the Schottky diode output point to limit switching-current spike noise (datasheet text partially garbled in the source).
4 FEEDBACK bidirectional Voltage feedback pin that senses the output through a resistor divider and regulates it, with a feedback threshold voltage of 1.23 V.
5 ON_OFF input Enable pin in which a high level (threshold 1.4 V) turns the regulator off and a low level (threshold 0.8 V) turns it on; the pin defaults to low when floating.
6 EP passive Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table).
