Step _ Down Swiching Regulator

Status

I would determine how much current draw you actually have. The LM2576 has capability to 3 amps, you may find that it is sufficient already for some of the devices you are connecting
http://www.onsemi.com/pub/Collateral/LM2576-D.PDF

You could then load share some of the devices from the LM2576, and others from say a zener based transistor regulator

The LM2576 is a switching regulator , however a heatsink is still a good precaution for it.
If you are needing higher current capability you should be able to use a PNP transistor like a MJ15004 adapting the circuit shown on page 21 (applying to a 78xx series of regulator )
http://www.onsemi.com/pub/Collateral/MC7800-D.PDF , to give greater current than 3 amps.
 

Apart from other concerns as to the quality of your suggestion Omid is in Iran and I don't think Ebay has a local branch. Otherwise he seems to be restricted to an LM2576 or other outdated stuff. Perhaps I have things wrong but Iran suffers from technology import restrictions, apart from StuxNet. Otherwise I do not mean to offend. If Omid can source stuff like CD4046, CD4013, LM324, LM339, passives, small signal transistors and diodes and some power components then, given a cunning plan, it would be possible for him to 'roll his own' general purpose solution?

Anyway Omid wants to turn 24V into 12V so it looks like he needs a buck converter. The duty cycle will be,

D = VOUT/VIN = 12/24 = 0.5 or 50%

Let's assume the things that are going to be using something near to 12V.

A1 is a D type flip-flop, CD4013, and it divides CLK by two so A and B are 50% duty cycle signals. CLK comes from a CD4046. Level shift and stuff using small signal transistors.

Circuit plus start up. It would seem we need a current limit and perhaps some other bits but there's about 12V out at 5A.

Then use Alibaba.

Sounds good.

Omid's English is infinitely better than my Farsi so perhaps you might be able to find him something similar to your Canadian Ebay suggestion via the local Alibaba site.

Given you appear to understand it I will have to assume Farsi is similar to French.

I also assume that, if and when you find a suitable product, the FOB, free on board, 10,000 minimum units condition will not be a problem.
 
OK... so I mentioned a current limit might be in order. Adding some extra dirt and it is likely to be imprecise dirt.

I would determine how much current draw you actually have. The LM2576 has capability to 3 amps, you may find that it is sufficient already for some of the devices you are connecting

You could then load share some of the devices from the LM2576, and others from say a zener based transistor regulator

The LM2576 is a switching regulator , however a heatsink is still a good precaution for it.
If you are needing higher current capability you should be able to use a PNP transistor like a MJ15004 adapting the circuit shown on page 21 (applying to a 78xx series of regulator )
http://www.onsemi.com/pub/Collateral/MC7800-D.PDF , to give greater current than 3 amps.
ok merci but i havd a swiching regulator
 
If 20A is a required current then the linear way is far to wasteful to be usable ( you could waste up to more than 300W ).
Problem is, optimizing a buck converter for 20A isn't very simple, nor is it cheap.
Still it is doable, but i don't think 2576 is the way to go.
I,M now this problem but a have a Discrete swiching(for example lm2576) for 24 volt to 12 volt 30 amps
