National's award-winning SIMPLE SWITCHER family allows you to design and optimize robust power supplies with the minimum set of external components. Supporting input voltage ranges of 3V to 75V, each SIMPLE SWITCHER series has multiple products with pin-to-pin compatibility for added design flexibility.

The newest LM2267x/LM22680 SIMPLE SWITCHER regulators feature the lowest BOM count, the LM2557x/557x regulators feature the best transient performance, and the LM310x regulators feature the highest efficiency. The new LM315x controllers provide support for high-power output designs.

All SIMPLE SWITCHER products work with the enhanced WEBENCH Power Designer end-to-end design and prototyping tools.
