Product details
Overview
LM2575-5.0BU TR from Micrel is a monolithic 5V fixed-output buck switching regulator delivering up to 1A output current with ±3% output voltage accuracy, 52kHz fixed-frequency operation, and integrated thermal shutdown and cycle-by-cycle current limiting. It operates from 4V to 40V input and replaces linear regulators in industrial power supplies requiring compact, high-efficiency DC-DC conversion.
For engineers reviewing the LM2575-5.0BU TR datasheet, LM2575-5.0BU TR pinout, LM2575-5.0BU TR application, or LM2575-5.0BU TR equivalent, key selection factors include guaranteed 1A load capability, TO-263 package thermal performance (θJA = 45°C/W), 82% typical efficiency at 12VIN/5VOUT/1A, and ON/OFF control with <200µA standby current.
Technical Context
The LM2575-5.0BU TR integrates a 52kHz oscillator, error amplifier with 1.23V internal reference, PWM comparator, and 1A NPN switch driver in a single TO-263 package. Its feedback loop uses an internal 5V reference for fixed-output regulation-no external resistor divider required.
Thermal shutdown activates at 150°C junction temperature, and current limiting protects against overload by clamping peak switch current to 1.7–3.2A. The ON/OFF pin supports logic-level control with VIH ≥ 2.2V and VIL ≤ 1.0V, enabling low-power system sequencing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±3% over 0.2–1A load and 8–40V input - ensures stable microcontroller or logic rail without trimming. |
| Max Output Current | 1A continuous - supports single-rail embedded systems like PLC I/O modules or sensor interfaces. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 40V - accommodates wide-input industrial sources including 24V DC buses and automotive battery variations. |
| Switching Frequency | 52kHz ±10% - enables use of low-cost, standard 330µH inductors and simplifies EMI filtering design. |
| Efficiency | 82% typical at 12VIN, 5VOUT, 1A - reduces thermal load vs. linear regulators, often eliminating heatsinks. |
| Standby Current | <200µA when ON/OFF pin = 5V - enables low-power sleep modes in battery-backed or energy-conscious systems. |
| Protection Features | Thermal shutdown + cycle-by-cycle current limit - prevents damage during short-circuit or overtemperature events without external circuitry. |
Pinout & Package
LM2575-5.0BU TR uses a 5-pin TO-263 (D2Pak) surface-mount package with exposed tab for thermal dissipation. Pin 1: VIN, Pin 2: OUTPUT, Pin 3: GND, Pin 4: FEEDBACK (internally connected to 5V reference for fixed version), Pin 5: ON/OFF.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VIN | Input supply connection | Accepts 4–40V unregulated DC; requires 100µF input capacitor for stability and ripple suppression. |
| 2 - OUTPUT | Switched output node | Drives external catch diode (e.g., MBR360) and output inductor; carries pulsed 1A current. |
| 3 - GND | Power and signal ground reference | Must be low-impedance connection; shared return path for input cap, output cap, and feedback network. |
| 4 - FB | Feedback input | Internally tied to 5V reference in LM2575-5.0BU TR - no external resistors needed; open-circuit tolerant. |
| 5 - ON/OFF | Enable/disable control | Logic-high (>2.2V) enables regulation; logic-low (<1.0V) disables output and reduces quiescent current to <200µA. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 5V output | Eliminates external feedback resistors - reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity in cost-sensitive designs. |
| Integrated current limit & thermal shutdown | Enables self-protected operation without external sensing or fault-handling circuitry. |
| 52kHz fixed-frequency oscillator | Allows predictable EMI filtering and compatibility with off-the-shelf 330µH power inductors. |
| TO-263 package with exposed thermal tab | Provides θJA = 45°C/W (with 4 in² copper), enabling 1A operation without heatsink in most PCB layouts. |
| ON/OFF logic control | Supports system-level power sequencing and low-power sleep states with sub-200µA standby draw. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2575-5.0WU TR | Same electrical specs; RoHS-compliant "WU" variant with high-melting-point solder exemption. | Identical functional behavior; selected where lead-free assembly with Pb-free exemption is mandated. | Choose LM2575-5.0WU TR for RoHS-compliant manufacturing with legacy solder process compatibility. |
| MC33063APDG | 3.3V–40V input, adjustable output, 1.5A switch, 100kHz operation - requires external feedback resistors and compensation. | Greater flexibility for non-5V rails but adds design complexity and component count. | Choose MC33063APDG only when variable output or higher switching frequency is required; not drop-in for LM2575-5.0BU TR. |
Compared with LM2575-5.0WU TR, the LM2575-5.0BU TR offers identical performance but lacks RoHS exemption documentation; compared with MC33063APDG, it trades adjustability for simplicity, requiring zero external feedback components and delivering guaranteed 5V ±3% without calibration.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LM2575-5.0BU TR?
The LM2575-5.0BU TR has an absolute maximum input voltage of 45V, with recommended continuous operation up to 40V. Exceeding 40V risks violating operating ratings and may trigger internal protection or reduce reliability. Always maintain input transients below 45V with appropriate clamping or filtering.
Does the LM2575-5.0BU TR require external feedback resistors to set the output voltage?
No. The LM2575-5.0BU TR is a fixed 5V output variant - its feedback pin (Pin 4) is internally connected to the 5V reference, eliminating the need for external resistors. This simplifies layout and improves output voltage stability versus adjustable versions that rely on resistor tolerance.
Can the LM2575-5.0BU TR deliver full 1A output current continuously in a TO-263 package without a heatsink?
Yes - with ≥4 in² of 2-oz copper on the PCB connected to the exposed tab, the LM2575-5.0BU TR achieves θJA = 45°C/W, allowing 1A continuous output at ambient temperatures up to +75°C. At higher ambient or with less copper, derating or heatsinking is required per thermal calculations in the datasheet.
What protection features are built into the LM2575-5.0BU TR?
The LM2575-5.0BU TR includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting (1.7–3.2A peak), thermal shutdown at 150°C junction temperature, and internal safe-start circuitry. These operate autonomously without external components, protecting against short-circuit, overload, and overheating conditions in deployed systems.
Is the ON/OFF pin of the LM2575-5.0BU TR compatible with standard 3.3V or 5V logic levels?
Yes - the ON/OFF pin accepts logic-high signals ≥2.2V (VIH min) and logic-low signals ≤1.0V (VIL max), making it directly compatible with both 3.3V and 5V CMOS/TTL outputs. Pulling the pin to GND enables regulation; pulling to ≥2.2V disables output and reduces quiescent current to <200µA.
