Product Overview
The LM2674MX-ADJ is a high-efficiency 500mA step-down voltage regulator from Texas Instruments SIMPLE SWITCHER family, featuring an adjustable output voltage in a compact SOIC-8 package. Operating from a wide 4.5V to 40V input range, this device delivers up to 500mA of output current with efficiencies up to 90%. The 260kHz default switching frequency allows use of small surface-mount inductors and capacitors. With internal compensation and minimal external components required, the LM2674 simplifies point-of-load power supply design for low-power industrial, consumer, and telecom applications.
