Product details
Overview
LM2575-5.0BWM-TR from Micrel is a fixed-output 5.0V, 1A step-down (buck) switching regulator with 52kHz fixed-frequency operation, ±3% output voltage tolerance over line/load, and integrated thermal shutdown and cycle-by-cycle current limiting. It operates from 4V to 40V input and delivers high-efficiency regulation in industrial power supplies and embedded DC-DC conversion.
For engineers reviewing the LM2575-5.0BWM-TR datasheet, LM2575-5.0BWM-TR pinout, LM2575-5.0BWM-TR application, or LM2575-5.0BWM-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (4–40V), guaranteed 1A output current, TO-263-compatible 24-pin wide SOIC package, and standby current <200µA - all critical for thermally constrained, cost-sensitive buck converter designs.
Technical Context
The LM2575-5.0BWM-TR integrates a 52kHz oscillator, error amplifier, bandgap reference (1.23V), PWM comparator, and 1A NPN switch driver in a monolithic IC. Its feedback loop uses an internal 1.23V reference with external resistor divider omitted - the 5.0V output is factory-trimmed and fixed.
Protection features include thermal shutdown triggered at ~150°C junction temperature and peak current limiting at 1.7–3.2A. The ON/OFF pin enables logic-controlled shutdown with <200µA standby current, and saturation voltage is specified at ≤1.4V under 1A load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±3% over full operating range - eliminates need for external feedback resistors and simplifies layout. |
| Max Output Current | 1A continuous - supports mid-power applications without external current boosting. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 40V - accommodates wide-input industrial, automotive, and telecom supply rails. |
| Switching Frequency | 52kHz ±10% - enables use of low-cost, standard 330µH inductors and reduces EMI filtering complexity. |
| Efficiency | 82% typical at 12VIN/5VOUT/1A - significantly reduces heat dissipation versus linear regulators. |
| Standby Current | <200µA when ON/OFF pin = 5V - enables low-power sleep modes in battery-backed systems. |
| Thermal Protection | Internal thermal shutdown at ~150°C junction - prevents damage during overload or poor heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
LM2575-5.0BWM-TR is housed in a 24-pin wide SOIC (WM) package with exposed thermal pad. Pin 1 is VIN; pins 2–4 are OUT, GND, FB (though FB is internally connected for fixed versions); pin 5 is ON/OFF; remaining pins are NC or internal power/ground connections per functional diagram.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VIN | Main input supply connection (4–40V); requires local 100µF input capacitor for stability. |
| 2 | OUT | Switched output node driving external inductor; connects to catch diode anode and output filter. |
| 3 | GND | Power ground return for internal switch and control circuitry; must be low-inductance connection. |
| 4 | FB | Internally tied to 5.0V output - not externally accessible; no external resistor divider required. |
| 5 | ON/OFF | Logic-level enable/disable input; ≥2.2V = ON, ≤1.0V = OFF; draws <30µA in active state. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 5.0V output | Factory-trimmed accuracy eliminates external feedback components and calibration effort. |
| Integrated protection | Thermal shutdown + cycle-by-cycle current limit prevent failure during short-circuit or overtemperature events. |
| Low external part count | Only four external components required: input cap, output cap, inductor, and Schottky catch diode. |
| 52kHz fixed frequency | Enables predictable EMI behavior and compatibility with off-the-shelf, low-cost 330µH power inductors. |
| TO-263-compatible SOIC | 24-pin wide SOIC (WM) package offers superior thermal performance vs. DIP and smaller footprint than TO-220. |
Applications
| Industrial Power Supplies | Embedded System DC-DC Conversion |
|---|---|
|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Input-stage buck converter handling wide automotive input transients while maintaining tight output regulation. Use Value: 4–40V input range and ±3% output tolerance ensure reliable operation across cold-crank (6.5V) and load-dump (40V) conditions. |
| On-Card Switching Regulators | Efficient Pre-regulator for Linear Regulators |
|
Use Scenario: Local 5V generation on dense PCBs where space prohibits through-hole TO-220 packages. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Compact surface-mount buck regulator replacing linear regulators to reduce thermal density. Use Value: 24-pin wide SOIC package with thermal pad achieves lower θJA (100°C/W) than DIP, enabling higher ambient operation without airflow. |
Use Scenario: Reducing dropout voltage before low-noise LDOs in mixed-signal ADC/DAC subsystems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-efficiency pre-regulator lowering input-to-LDO differential voltage and minimizing LDO power loss. Use Value: 82% efficiency at 1A cuts pre-LDO dissipation by >75% versus direct linear regulation from 24V, extending system thermal margin. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2575-5.0T | Same electrical specs but in 5-pin TO-220 package; higher θJA (65°C/W) and requires heatsink above ~500mA. | Better suited for prototyping or low-volume assemblies where through-hole mounting and manual heatsinking are acceptable. | Select LM2575-5.0T only if mechanical constraints favor TO-220 or thermal design includes external heatsink. |
| LM2596-5.0 | Higher 150kHz switching frequency, 3A rating, and ±2% output tolerance; requires different inductor value (typically 33–100µH). | Supports higher current and smaller magnetics but increases EMI filtering requirements and layout sensitivity. | Choose LM2596-5.0 when >1A output or tighter regulation is needed; avoid if legacy 330µH inductor reuse is mandatory. |
Compared with LM2575-5.0T, LM2575-5.0BWM-TR offers superior thermal performance in surface-mount layouts and eliminates heatsink dependency up to 1A. Versus LM2596-5.0, it trades higher current capability for proven 52kHz stability, simpler magnetics sourcing, and lower EMI design risk in noise-sensitive environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2575-5.0BWM-TR?
The absolute maximum input voltage for LM2575-5.0BWM-TR is 45V, but the recommended operating range is 4V to 40V. Exceeding 40V risks violating the device's safe operating area, especially under high duty cycle or elevated temperature conditions. Always include transient suppression if used in automotive or industrial environments with potential load-dump events.
Does LM2575-5.0BWM-TR require external feedback resistors?
No, LM2575-5.0BWM-TR does not require external feedback resistors. As a fixed-output variant, its 5.0V regulation is achieved via internal trimming of the feedback network; the FB pin is internally connected and not accessible for external adjustment. This simplifies design and improves output accuracy consistency.
What package type is used for LM2575-5.0BWM-TR?
LM2575-5.0BWM-TR uses a 24-pin wide SOIC (WM) package with an exposed thermal pad. This surface-mount package provides better thermal performance than the plastic DIP version and smaller footprint than TO-220, making it ideal for automated assembly and space-constrained PCBs.
How does the ON/OFF pin function on LM2575-5.0BWM-TR?
The ON/OFF pin on LM2575-5.0BWM-TR controls device enablement: applying ≥2.2V (VIH) turns the regulator ON, while ≤1.0V (VIL) forces shutdown with standby current <200µA. The pin draws <30µA during normal operation and supports simple microcontroller GPIO or logic-level control without level-shifting.
Is LM2575-5.0BWM-TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, LM2575-5.0BWM-TR is RoHS compliant per the ordering information in the datasheet. The "Y" suffix denotes Pb-free/RoHS-compliant packaging; "BWM" indicates the 24-pin wide SOIC package, and the "-TR" suffix confirms tape-and-reel packaging for automated assembly.
