Product details
Overview
LM2575HVS-12 from Texas Instruments is a monolithic 1A step-down (buck) switching voltage regulator in a 5-lead surface-mount TO-263 (DDPAK) package, delivering a fixed 12V output with ±4% tolerance across 15V–60V input and 0.2A–1A load. It integrates oscillator, PWM controller, and high-current NPN switch, enabling compact, high-efficiency power conversion without external compensation.
For engineers reviewing the LM2575HVS-12 datasheet, LM2575HVS-12 pinout, LM2575HVS-12 application, or LM2575HVS-12 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 60V max input rating, 52 kHz fixed-frequency operation, thermal shutdown, cycle-by-cycle current limiting, TTL-compatible shutdown, and compatibility with standard off-the-shelf inductors.
Technical Context
The LM2575HVS-12 implements a current-mode controlled buck topology with internal 52 kHz oscillator and integrated 3.0A peak-current-rated NPN power switch. Feedback is taken directly from the output via an internal 1.23V reference, eliminating external resistor dividers for fixed-output variants.
It operates in continuous conduction mode (CCM) over full load range, features built-in thermal shutdown at 150°C junction temperature, and provides 50 μA standby current during TTL-level shutdown activation. The HV variant supports up to 60V input, distinguishing it from standard LM2575-N (40V max).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 12V ±4% over 0.2A–1A load and 15V–60V input - ensures stable rail for industrial logic and analog circuitry without trimming. |
| Input Voltage Range | 15V to 60V DC - supports wide-input applications including 24V/48V industrial buses and automotive battery-supervised systems. |
| Output Current | 1A continuous - sufficient to power microcontrollers, sensors, and peripheral ICs without external pass devices. |
| Switching Frequency | 52 kHz fixed - enables use of low-cost, high-saturation-current toroidal or drum-core inductors with minimal EMI filtering. |
| Efficiency | 88% at VIN = 15V, IOUT = 1A - reduces thermal load vs. linear regulators; eliminates need for heatsink in many PCB layouts. |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 37°C/W (with ≥1 in² copper pour) - enables reliable 1A operation at ambient up to 85°C without forced air. |
| Shutdown Current | 50 μA typical - supports low-power sleep modes in battery-backed or energy-conscious systems. |
Pinout & Package
LM2575HVS-12 uses a 5-lead DDPAK/TO-263 surface-mount package (package code KTT0005B), featuring an exposed thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation. Pin 1 is Input, Pin 2 is Output, Pin 3 is Ground, Pin 4 is Feedback (internally tied for fixed 12V version), and Pin 5 is ON/OFF control.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (IN) | Unregulated DC input | Accepts 15–60V; requires local 47–100 μF electrolytic bypass capacitor to suppress switching transients. |
| Pin 2 (OUT) | Regulated 12V output | Drives 1A load; connects to output inductor and catch diode anode; requires 220–470 μF low-ESR output capacitor. |
| Pin 3 (GND) | Power and signal ground | Common return for input cap, output cap, and feedback network; must be low-inductance single-point connection. |
| Pin 4 (FEEDBACK) | Internal voltage reference node | Internally connected to 1.23V reference for fixed 12V version; no external components required. |
| Pin 5 (ON/OFF) | TTL-compatible enable/disable | Logic-high (>2.2V) enables regulation; logic-low (<0.8V) disables output and reduces quiescent current to 50 μA. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated NPN power switch | 3.0A peak current rating with 0.9V saturation voltage - minimizes conduction loss and simplifies layout vs. external MOSFET solutions. |
| Fixed-frequency PWM control | 52 kHz oscillator with ±10% tolerance - enables predictable EMI filtering and avoids audible noise in sensitive environments. |
| Comprehensive protection | Thermal shutdown + cycle-by-cycle current limiting - prevents damage during overload, short-circuit, or inadequate heatsinking. |
| Low-component-count design | Only 4 external parts required (inductor, catch diode, input cap, output cap) - accelerates prototyping and reduces BOM cost. |
| Standard inductor compatibility | Optimized for off-the-shelf 330 μH inductors (e.g., Pulse PE-52627) - eliminates custom magnetics and supply-chain risk. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the LM2575HVS-12?
The LM2575HVS-12 supports a maximum input voltage of 60V DC, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings and Operating Ratings. This distinguishes it from the standard LM2575-N (40V max) and makes it suitable for 48V industrial buses and automotive load-dump tolerant designs. Operation above 60V risks permanent device damage.
Does the LM2575HVS-12 require external feedback resistors to set the 12V output?
No, the LM2575HVS-12 is a fixed-output variant - its internal feedback divider is factory-trimmed to deliver 12V ±4%. Pin 4 (FEEDBACK) is internally connected to the 1.23V reference and requires no external components. External resistors are only needed for adjustable versions like LM2575HV-ADJ.
Can the LM2575HVS-12 be used in a synchronous rectification configuration?
No, the LM2575HVS-12 uses an internal NPN bipolar transistor as the main switch and requires an external Schottky catch diode (e.g., SR103 or MBR340). It does not support synchronous rectification - the output stage is inherently non-synchronous, and no gate drive signals are exposed for an external MOSFET.
What is the recommended minimum output capacitance for stable operation of the LM2575HVS-12?
Texas Instruments recommends 220 μF to 470 μF aluminum electrolytic capacitors for the LM2575HVS-12 output, rated for ≥25V. Lower values may cause instability or excessive ripple; the 330 μF value shown in Figure 25 is validated for 12V output. Low-ESR construction is critical to maintain loop stability and minimize voltage droop under load transients.
How does thermal performance differ between the LM2575HVS-12 and the through-hole LM2575T-12?
The LM2575HVS-12 in TO-263 package achieves θJA = 37°C/W with ≥1 in² PCB copper area, while the LM2575T-12 in TO-220 achieves θJA = 65°C/W with minimal copper. This 43% lower thermal resistance allows the LM2575HVS-12 to sustain 1A continuously at higher ambient temperatures without a heatsink - a key advantage in dense, sealed enclosures.
