Product details
Overview
LM2575HVT-ADJ/LF03 from Texas Instruments is a monolithic 1A step-down (buck) switching voltage regulator in TO-220 package, featuring adjustable output (1.23V–37V), 52 kHz fixed-frequency operation, ±4% output voltage tolerance, and integrated thermal shutdown/current limiting. It replaces linear regulators in industrial power supplies requiring high efficiency and minimal external components.
For engineers reviewing the LM2575HVT-ADJ/LF03 datasheet, LM2575HVT-ADJ/LF03 pinout, LM2575HVT-ADJ/LF03 application, or LM2575HVT-ADJ/LF03 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 60V max input voltage rating, 1.23V feedback reference, 1A continuous output capability, TTL-compatible shutdown, and compatibility with standard off-the-shelf inductors.
Technical Context
The LM2575HVT-ADJ/LF03 implements a current-mode PWM buck topology with internal 52 kHz oscillator, cycle-by-cycle current limiting, and thermal shutdown. Its feedback loop references a precise 1.23V internal bandgap, enabling stable output regulation across 1.23V–37V via external resistor divider.
It operates over −40°C to +125°C junction temperature, supports up to 60V input, delivers 1A load current with typical 77% efficiency at 12VIN/5VOUT, and enters low-power standby (50 μA) when the ON/OFF pin is pulled high.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 1A continuous - supports full-load operation without external current boosting |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.75V to 60V - enables direct use in 48V industrial bus, automotive battery, and wide-input DC-DC pre-regulator applications |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 1.23V ±1.2% - sets output via R1/R2 divider; determines minimum output (1.23V) and accuracy of programmable range |
| Switching Frequency | 52 kHz ±10% - fixed internal oscillator simplifies EMI filtering and allows use of low-cost, high-saturation-current inductors |
| Efficiency | 77% typ. at 12VIN/5VOUT/1A - reduces thermal load vs. linear regulators; eliminates need for large heatsinks in many cases |
| Standby Current | 50 μA typical - enables low-power system-level shutdown without auxiliary control circuitry |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | 150°C junction - protects device under overload or poor heatsinking; auto-recovery on cooldown |
Pinout & Package
LM2575HVT-ADJ/LF03 is housed in a 5-lead TO-220 package (package code NDH0005D) with exposed tab electrically connected to Pin 2 (Output). The tab serves as primary thermal path and must be mounted to heatsink or copper pour.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Input | Unregulated DC input supply | Accepts 4.75–60V; requires local 100 μF/75V electrolytic bypass capacitor |
| 2 - Output | Regulated switched output node | Drives inductor; connects to cathode of catch diode and output capacitor; tab is internally tied to this pin |
| 3 - Ground | Power and signal reference | Low-impedance return for IC core, feedback, and shutdown circuits; must be star-connected near input/output caps |
| 4 - Feedback | Resistor-divider sense input | Compares divided output voltage to 1.23V reference; open for ADJ version; sets VOUT = 1.23 × (1 + R2/R1) |
| 5 - ON/OFF | TTL-compatible enable/disable control | Pull ≥2.2V to disable (50 μA standby); pull ≤0.8V to enable; no pull-up required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 1A NPN switch | Eliminates need for external power transistor; rated for 60V breakdown and 2.2A peak current limit |
| Fixed 52 kHz oscillator | Enables predictable EMI profile and simplifies filter design using standardized inductor families |
| Internal frequency compensation | Reduces external component count to just 4: input cap, output cap, catch diode, and inductor |
| TTL shutdown interface | Allows direct connection to microcontroller GPIO without level-shifting or external logic |
| Thermal + current protection | Prevents damage during sustained overload, short-circuit, or inadequate heatsinking-no external sensing needed |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2575T-ADJ | 40V max input (vs. 60V); same pinout, package, and 1.23V reference | Not suitable for >40V input systems (e.g., 48V industrial, load dump) | Select LM2575T-ADJ only if input stays ≤40V; otherwise LM2575HVT-ADJ/LF03 ensures margin |
| LM2596-ADJ | Higher 3A output, 150 kHz switching, different pinout (SO-8), requires different layout | Supports higher current but demands revised PCB design and faster diode/inductor | Choose LM2596-ADJ only when >1A is needed; LM2575HVT-ADJ/LF03 offers proven reliability and simpler magnetics at 1A |
Compared with LM2575T-ADJ and LM2596-ADJ, LM2575HVT-ADJ/LF03 uniquely balances 60V input resilience, TO-220 serviceability, and minimal BOM count-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained 1A industrial and automotive buck designs where layout reuse and supply chain stability matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the LM2575HVT-ADJ/LF03?
The LM2575HVT-ADJ/LF03 supports a maximum input voltage of 60V, confirmed in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This HV variant is specifically designed for applications exceeding the 40V limit of standard LM2575 devices-such as 48V industrial buses, automotive systems with load dump transients, and telecom power rails. Operation above 40V requires the HVT suffix part; using LM2575T-ADJ in such conditions risks permanent damage.
How is the output voltage set on the LM2575HVT-ADJ/LF03?
The LM2575HVT-ADJ/LF03 uses an external resistor divider connected between output, feedback (Pin 4), and ground to set output voltage. With a precise 1.23V internal reference, VOUT = 1.23 × (1 + R2/R1). R1 is typically 1–5 kΩ (1% metal film recommended); R2 is calculated accordingly. For example, 12V output requires R2 ≈ 8.84 kΩ when R1 = 1.2 kΩ. The feedback pin draws only 50–100 nA, minimizing divider error.
Does the LM2575HVT-ADJ/LF03 require an external diode, and what type is recommended?
Yes, the LM2575HVT-ADJ/LF03 requires an external Schottky catch diode (D1) connected from output (Pin 2) to ground. Recommended parts include MBR340 (40V, 3A) or SR103 (30V, 1A), selected for low forward voltage (<0.5V) and fast recovery to minimize conduction loss and switching stress. Diode reverse voltage rating must exceed max input (≥1.25 × VINMAX), and current rating should be ≥1.2 × ILOAD for reliability under transient overload.
What thermal considerations apply to the LM2575HVT-ADJ/LF03 in TO-220 package?
The LM2575HVT-ADJ/LF03 in TO-220 (NDH0005D) has θJA = 65°C/W with minimal copper and 45°C/W with ~4 in² PCB copper area. Its exposed tab (connected to Pin 2) must be thermally coupled to a heatsink or large copper pour. At 1A load and 24V input, power dissipation can exceed 5W-requiring heatsinking to maintain TJ < 125°C. Thermal shutdown activates at 150°C junction, providing fault protection but not steady-state thermal management.
Can the LM2575HVT-ADJ/LF03 be synchronized to an external clock?
No, the LM2575HVT-ADJ/LF03 does not support external clock synchronization. Its 52 kHz oscillator is fully internal and fixed-frequency. This design choice prioritizes simplicity and EMI predictability over synchronization flexibility. If phase alignment or noise spreading is required, alternative regulators like LM2596 or newer TI buck controllers (e.g., TPS54302) with SYNC pins must be used instead of LM2575HVT-ADJ/LF03.
