Product details
Overview
LM2575BWM-TR from Micrel is a fixed-output 5V, 1A step-down (buck) switching regulator in 24-pin wide SOIC package, featuring 52kHz fixed-frequency operation, ±3% output voltage tolerance at full load, internal current limiting, thermal shutdown, and <200µA standby current. It replaces linear regulators in industrial power supplies requiring high efficiency and minimal external components.
For engineers reviewing the LM2575BWM-TR datasheet, LM2575BWM-TR pinout, LM2575BWM-TR application, or LM2575BWM-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (4–40V), guaranteed 1A output, TO-220-compatible pinout in SOIC, thermal performance (θJA = 100°C/W), and compatibility with standard off-the-shelf inductors.
Technical Context
The LM2575BWM-TR integrates a 52kHz oscillator, error amplifier with 1.23V bandgap reference, PWM comparator, and 1A NPN switch driver. Its feedback loop uses external resistive divider for adjustable versions or internal resistor network for fixed outputs like the 5V variant.
Protection functions include cycle-by-cycle current limiting (1.7–3.2A peak), thermal shutdown at ~150°C junction temperature, and ON/OFF control with logic-compatible input (VIH ≥ 1.4V, VIL ≤ 1.2V). The device operates across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature range with no minimum load requirement.
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 rail for microcontrollers and logic circuits. |
| Max Output Current | Guaranteed 1A continuous output enables direct powering of FPGA I/O banks or sensor modules without external boost stages. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 40V DC supports wide-input industrial systems including 12V/24V battery and unregulated rectified AC supplies. |
| Switching Frequency | 52kHz ±10% fixed frequency simplifies EMI filtering design and avoids audible noise while enabling use of low-cost standard inductors. |
| Efficiency | 82% typical at 12VIN/5VOUT/1A reduces thermal load versus linear regulators, often eliminating need for heatsinks. |
| Standby Current | <200µA when ON/OFF pin pulled high enables low-power sleep modes in battery-backed systems. |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 100°C/W (24-pin SOIC) defines PCB copper area requirements for safe 1A operation at 85°C ambient. |
Pinout & Package
LM2575BWM-TR uses a 24-pin wide SOIC package (package code WM) with exposed thermal pad. Pin numbering follows standard SOIC layout; pins 1–24 are assigned as per Micrel's official pin configuration diagram (page 4 of datasheet M9999-051209-B).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 16, 22 | VIN | Main input supply connection; accepts 4–40V DC; requires local 100µF input capacitor for stability. |
| 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 24 | GND | Power and signal ground return paths; multiple pins reduce impedance and improve thermal conduction to PCB. |
| 2 | OUT | Switched output node driving external inductor; connects to catch diode anode and output capacitor positive terminal. |
| 8 | FB | Feedback input for adjustable versions; internally connected to 5V divider in LM2575BWM-TR - not user-accessible. |
| 9 | ON/OFF | Logic-level enable/disable control; >1.4V enables regulation, <1.2V disables output and reduces quiescent current to <200µA. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 1A NPN switch | Eliminates need for external MOSFET or transistor, reducing BOM count and layout complexity in compact designs. |
| Fixed 5V output with ±3% tolerance | Meets tight regulation requirements for 5V logic rails without trimming or calibration during production. |
| Internal frequency compensation | Enables stable operation with only four external components: input cap, output cap, inductor, and catch diode. |
| Thermal shutdown + current limit | Provides autonomous fault protection under overload, short-circuit, or inadequate heatsinking conditions. |
| Standard inductor compatibility | Works with widely available 330µH shielded inductors (e.g., AIE 415-0926), accelerating power stage prototyping. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2575T-5.0 | Same 5V fixed output, but in 5-pin TO-220 package with θJA = 65°C/W; higher thermal performance but through-hole mounting required. | Preferred for high-ambient-temperature environments (>70°C) where heatsink attachment is feasible and SMT is not mandatory. | Select LM2575T-5.0 when board-level thermal management prioritizes heatsink integration over surface-mount automation. |
| LM2596S-5.0 | Higher 3A rating, 150kHz switching, and improved efficiency (up to 92%), but different pinout and external compensation requirements. | Suitable for higher-current upgrades or designs needing smaller magnetics; not drop-in compatible due to differing FB/COMP architecture. | Choose LM2596S-5.0 only when redesigning for >1A loads or tighter size constraints - not as direct replacement for LM2575BWM-TR. |
Compared with LM2575T-5.0, LM2575BWM-TR trades thermal margin for SMT manufacturability and board space savings; versus LM2596S-5.0, it offers simpler design with fewer external components but lower current capability and efficiency.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2575BWM-TR?
The absolute maximum input voltage for LM2575BWM-TR is 45V DC, with recommended continuous operation up to 40V. Exceeding 40V may trigger internal protection or reduce reliability. This rating enables use with 24V industrial buses and rectified 30VAC supplies while maintaining safety margin.
Does LM2575BWM-TR require an external feedback resistor network?
No, LM2575BWM-TR is a fixed 5V output version - its feedback divider is fully internal. Pin 8 (FB) is not accessible for adjustment and must remain unconnected. Only adjustable variants (e.g., LM2575BWM) use external resistors to set output voltage between 1.23V and 37V.
Can LM2575BWM-TR be used in negative-output configurations?
Yes, LM2575BWM-TR supports inverting buck-boost topology to generate negative voltages. When configured as a positive-to-negative converter, it delivers regulated negative output (e.g., –5V) using standard external components - as documented in Micrel's typical applications section (page 1 of datasheet).
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of LM2575BWM-TR in its SOIC package?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) for LM2575BWM-TR in the 24-pin wide SOIC package is 100°C/W under standard PCB conditions (≈1 in² copper area). This value assumes no external heatsink and defines the maximum power dissipation allowable for safe operation at specified ambient temperatures.
Is LM2575BWM-TR RoHS compliant?
Yes, LM2575BWM-TR is Pb-free and RoHS compliant per Micrel's ordering information (page 3 of datasheet), designated with "Y" suffix in alternate part numbers (e.g., LM2575YWM-*). The "B" prefix indicates commercial-grade temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and standard packaging.
