The LM2596 is a step-down voltage regulator IC that can convert a higher input voltage to a lower output voltage with high efficiency. It is a member of the SIMPLE SWITCHER family of voltage regulators from Texas Instruments. The IC features an adjustable output voltage, a fixed 150 kHz switching frequency, and a maximum output current of 3A.
