5 A adjustable buck — the SIMPLE SWITCHER workhorse
The LM22679TJE-ADJ/NOPB: Output voltage adjusts from 1.285 V up to 37 V via an external resistor divider — the 5 A rating holds across this range as long as the input-to-output differential stays within the buck's minimum on-time limits. Switching at 500 kHz, it balances inductor size against efficiency — the fixed-frequency PWM keeps the ripple predictable, which simplifies the output filter design for a layout engineer. The non-synchronous topology (external Schottky diode required) adds a diode forward-drop loss but keeps the BOM cost lower than a synchronous alternative at this current level.
Active lifecycle and compliance documentation
RoHS3 compliant — no exemption-based lead content; the part carries the /NOPB suffix confirming lead-free construction.
