Product details
Overview
LM2575M-5.0 from Texas Instruments is a monolithic 1A step-down (buck) switching voltage regulator in a 5-lead surface-mount SOIC package, delivering a fixed 5.0V ±4% output across 8V–40V input, with 52 kHz fixed-frequency operation, thermal shutdown, and cycle-by-cycle current limiting. It replaces linear regulators in mid-power DC/DC conversion for industrial power rails and embedded system supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LM2575M-5.0 datasheet, LM2575M-5.0 pinout, LM2575M-5.0 application, or LM2575M-5.0 equivalent, key selection factors include its 1A continuous output capability, 77% efficiency at 12VIN/1A, TTL-compatible shutdown control, internal frequency compensation, and compatibility with standard off-the-shelf inductors - all critical for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained buck converter designs.
Technical Context
The LM2575M-5.0 integrates a PWM controller, power switch, and protection circuitry into a single IC. Its fixed 5.0V output is achieved via internal resistor divider feedback, eliminating external programming components. The 52 kHz oscillator enables use of low-cost, high-saturation-current inductors while maintaining manageable EMI.
Operation relies on cycle-by-cycle peak current limiting (2.2 A typical), thermal shutdown at 150°C junction temperature, and 50 μA standby current during TTL-level OFF control. Input voltage range is 8V to 40V, with dropout behavior defined by minimum duty cycle (93%) and saturation voltage (0.9 V typical at 1A).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 5.0 V ±4% over 8V–40V input and 0.2A–1A load - ensures stable logic supply under wide line/load variation |
| Max Output Current | 1 A continuous - supports microcontroller cores, FPGAs, and peripheral ICs without external current boosting |
| Input Voltage Range | 8 V to 40 V - accommodates 12 V and 24 V industrial bus rails with margin for transients |
| Switching Frequency | 52 kHz fixed - enables use of low-ESR aluminum electrolytic capacitors and standard 330 µH inductors |
| Efficiency | 77% at 12 VIN, 5 VOUT, 1 A - reduces thermal load vs. linear regulators, often eliminating heatsinks |
| Standby Current | 50 µA typical with TTL shutdown - enables low-power sleep modes in battery-backed systems |
| Thermal Resistance | 100 °C/W (SOIC package, no added copper) - requires PCB copper area management for full 1A operation |
Pinout & Package
LM2575M-5.0 uses a 5-lead surface-mount SOIC package (Package Number DW0024B), with exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin 1 is marked with dot; pins are numbered counterclockwise from top-left corner when viewed from top.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VIN) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 8–40 V DC; requires local 47 µF bypass capacitor to minimize switching noise injection |
| 2 (OUTPUT) | Switch node / power switch drain | Connects to inductor and catch diode anode; carries pulsed 1A current - layout must minimize trace inductance |
| 3 (GND) | Power and signal ground | Common return for input cap, output cap, and feedback network; must be low-impedance single-point connection |
| 4 (FEEDBACK) | Output voltage sense (fixed 5V version) | Internally tied to 5V divider - no external resistors required; not accessible for adjustment |
| 5 (ON/OFF) | TTL-compatible enable/disable control | Logic-low (≤0.8 V) disables regulator and reduces quiescent current to 50 µA; logic-high (≥2.2 V) enables operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated power switch | Internal N-channel MOSFET with 0.9 V saturation voltage at 1A - eliminates external switch and gate driver complexity |
| Fixed-frequency PWM | 52 kHz oscillator with ±10% tolerance - simplifies EMI filtering and allows predictable inductor sizing |
| Protection suite | Thermal shutdown + cycle-by-cycle current limit (1.7–3.2 A range) - prevents damage during overload or short-circuit faults |
| Minimal external parts | Only 4 components required: input cap, output cap, inductor, catch diode - accelerates design and reduces BOM cost |
| Standard inductor support | Optimized for 330 µH, 1.5 A rated inductors (e.g., Pulse PE-52627) - avoids custom magnetics and procurement delays |

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 | TO-220 package (θJA = 65°C/W), through-hole mounting, higher thermal mass | Better suited for prototyping or high-temperature environments where SOIC thermal limits are exceeded | Select when board-level thermal management is limited and mechanical robustness is prioritized over footprint size |
| MP1584EN-LF-Z | 38 V max input, 2 A output, 1.5 MHz switching, smaller solution size but requires external compensation | Enables higher efficiency at light loads and smaller inductors/caps, but increases design complexity | Choose for space-constrained designs needing >1 A or improved light-load efficiency; verify loop stability with external components |
Compared with LM2575T-5.0, the LM2575M-5.0 offers superior board-area efficiency and automated assembly compatibility, while MP1584EN-LF-Z delivers higher current and frequency at the cost of added external component count and tuning effort.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LM2575M-5.0?
The LM2575M-5.0 has an absolute maximum input voltage of 45 V, but its specified operating input range is 8 V to 40 V. Operation above 40 V risks exceeding electrical characteristics limits and may trigger internal protection circuits. For higher input applications, the LM2575HV-5.0 variant supports up to 60 V input.
Can the LM2575M-5.0 be used with an adjustable output configuration?
No - the LM2575M-5.0 is a fixed-output variant with internal feedback resistors set for 5.0 V. Its FEEDBACK pin (Pin 4) is not externally accessible for adjustment. To achieve variable output, use the LM2575M-ADJ part number, which provides the same SOIC package and 1.23 V reference voltage for external resistor programming.
What is the recommended inductor value for the LM2575M-5.0 in a typical 12 V to 5 V application?
For a 12 V input to 5 V output design at 1 A load, the recommended inductor is 330 µH with ≥1.5 A saturation current (e.g., Pulse Engineering PE-52627). This value balances ripple current (≈30% of IOUT), transient response, and physical size per TI's Figure 28 inductor selection guide.
Does the LM2575M-5.0 require a heatsink when delivering 1 A continuously?
In the SOIC package (DW0024B), the LM2575M-5.0 has a θJA of 100°C/W with minimal copper. At 1 A and 12 V input, power dissipation is ~1.1 W, resulting in ~110°C rise - exceeding safe junction limits. Use ≥1 in² of 2-oz copper connected to the exposed pad to reduce θJA to ~50°C/W, avoiding mandatory heatsinking.
How does the ON/OFF pin function on the LM2575M-5.0?
The ON/OFF pin (Pin 5) provides TTL-compatible enable control: applying ≤0.8 V disables the regulator and reduces quiescent current to 50 µA, while ≥2.2 V enables normal operation. The pin draws only 12 µA when enabled and 30 µA when disabled - making it suitable for microcontroller GPIO control without additional level-shifting.
