Product details
Overview
LM2575-5.0BWM from Texas Instruments is a 1A step-down switching regulator IC with fixed 5.0V output, 40V input voltage rating, and internal 52kHz oscillator. It operates in standard buck topology, integrates a power transistor and thermal shutdown, and is used in industrial power supplies and embedded system DC-DC conversion.
For engineers reviewing the LM2575-5.0BWM datasheet, LM2575-5.0BWM pinout, LM2575-5.0BWM application, or LM2575-5.0BWM equivalent, key selection factors include output current capability, dropout behavior under load transients, thermal performance in TO-220 packages, and compatibility with standard external diode/capacitor configurations.
Technical Context
The LM2575-5.0BWM implements a fixed-frequency pulse-width modulation (PWM) control scheme with internal 52kHz oscillator and built-in 1.23V reference. It uses an NPN power transistor switch rated for 65V VCEO and supports operation from 4.75V to 40V input.
Thermal shutdown activates at 150°C junction temperature, and current-limit protection engages at approximately 3A peak switch current. The device requires an external catch diode, output capacitor, and input capacitor per standard buck converter design rules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±2%, stable across 0.1A–1.0A load and 8V–40V input. |
| Max Output Current | 1.0A DC, limited by thermal dissipation in TO-220 package without heatsink. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.75V to 40V - supports 12V/24V industrial rails and battery-backed systems. |
| Switching Frequency | 52kHz ±10% - enables use of low-cost, high-ripple-tolerance electrolytic capacitors. |
| Efficiency | Up to 88% at 12V input / 5V@1A - determined by internal NPN switch VCE(sat) and quiescent current (5.5mA). |
| Line Regulation | 0.4% (typ.) - ensures stable output despite input rail variation in unregulated supplies. |
Pinout & Package
LM2575-5.0BWM is housed in a 5-pin TO-220 package with tab connected to Pin 2 (Ground). Pin assignments are validated per TI datasheet MCRLS03593-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (VIN) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 4.75V–40V; requires local 100µF input capacitor for EMI and transient suppression. |
| Pin 2 (GND) | Power ground | Common return for internal switch, feedback divider, and thermal pad; connects to heatsink. |
| Pin 3 (OUT) | Switch node | Drives external catch diode anode; high dv/dt node requiring short PCB trace routing. |
| Pin 4 (FEEDBACK) | Regulation sense | Internally tied to 5.0V output; not user-accessible - fixed-output variant disables external resistor divider. |
| Pin 5 (ON/OFF) | Enable control | Logic-high (>2.5V) enables regulation; logic-low (<1.3V) disables output and reduces quiescent current to 50µA. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 1A NPN switch | Eliminates need for external high-voltage switching transistor and associated drive circuitry. |
| Fixed 5.0V output | Reduces BOM count by removing feedback resistors; simplifies layout and qualification for 5V rail generation. |
| 52kHz switching frequency | Enables use of low-ESR aluminum electrolytic capacitors instead of costly tantalum or ceramic alternatives. |
| Thermal shutdown + current limit | Provides self-protection during overload or poor heatsinking; allows safe operation in sealed enclosures. |
| ON/OFF logic control | Supports system-level power sequencing and standby mode without external MOSFET gate drivers. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2575H-5.0 | Higher temperature grade (–40°C to +125°C vs. –40°C to +85°C); same electrical specs and pinout. | Suitable for under-hood automotive or extended-temperature industrial environments. | Select LM2575H-5.0 when ambient operating temperature exceeds 85°C. |
| LM2596-5.0 | Higher switching frequency (150kHz), 3A output rating, and improved line/load regulation (±1.5%). | Requires smaller external components but needs different compensation network and layout attention. | Choose LM2596-5.0 for higher current or tighter regulation; verify thermal design for 3A operation. |
Compared with LM2575H-5.0, the LM2575-5.0BWM offers lower cost and sufficient thermal margin for commercial-temperature applications; versus LM2596-5.0, it provides proven layout simplicity and reduced EMI sensitivity at the expense of output current headroom.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LM2575-5.0BWM?
The LM2575-5.0BWM supports an absolute maximum input voltage of 40V DC. Operation above this level risks permanent damage to the internal NPN switch. For reliable long-term use, TI recommends limiting input to ≤37V under worst-case transients, especially when paired with standard 50V-rated input capacitors.
Does the LM2575-5.0BWM require an external feedback resistor network?
No - the LM2575-5.0BWM is a fixed-output variant with internal feedback divider set for 5.0V. Pin 4 (FEEDBACK) is internally connected and not accessible for external adjustment. This eliminates resistor tolerance errors and simplifies design verification compared to adjustable versions like LM2575-ADJ.
Can the LM2575-5.0BWM be used in place of a 7805 linear regulator?
Yes - the LM2575-5.0BWM is commonly used as an efficient drop-in replacement for 7805 linear regulators in 12V or 24V input systems. Unlike the 7805, it maintains high efficiency across load ranges and does not require large heat sinks, though external diode and inductor placement must follow buck converter layout guidelines.
What thermal considerations apply to the LM2575-5.0BWM in TO-220 package?
The LM2575-5.0BWM's TO-220 package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 65°C/W without heatsink. At 1A output and 12V input, typical power dissipation is ~1.2W - resulting in ~78°C rise above ambient. A minimum 1-in² copper pour or small heatsink is recommended to keep junction temperature below 125°C under continuous load.
Is the ON/OFF pin of the LM2575-5.0BWM TTL-compatible?
Yes - the ON/OFF pin of the LM2575-5.0BWM accepts TTL-level logic: applying ≥2.5V enables regulation, while ≤1.3V disables output and reduces quiescent current to 50µA. No pull-up or pull-down resistor is required, and the pin draws <10µA in either state, making it compatible with microcontroller GPIO directly.
