Product details
Overview
LM2575MX-5.0 from Texas Instruments is a monolithic 1A step-down (buck) switching voltage regulator with fixed 5.0V output, 52 kHz internal oscillator, ±4% output voltage tolerance over line/load/temperature, and integrated thermal shutdown and cycle-by-cycle current limiting. It replaces linear regulators in industrial power supplies requiring high efficiency and minimal external components.
For engineers reviewing the LM2575MX-5.0 datasheet, LM2575MX-5.0 pinout, LM2575MX-5.0 application, or LM2575MX-5.0 equivalent, key selection considerations include input voltage range (up to 40V), TO-263 package thermal performance (θJA = 37°C/W with 1 in² copper), 77% efficiency at 12VIN/1A, and TTL-compatible shutdown capability with 50 μA standby current.
Technical Context
The LM2575MX-5.0 implements a fixed-frequency PWM buck topology with internal NPN switch, feedback comparator, and 1.23V reference. Its 52 kHz oscillator enables use of standard off-the-shelf inductors (e.g., 330 μH for 5V output) and minimizes EMI compared to higher-frequency alternatives.
Control architecture includes cycle-by-cycle peak current limiting (2.2A typical), thermal shutdown activation at 150°C junction temperature, and TTL-level ON/OFF pin (VIH = 2.2V min, VIL = 1.0V max) enabling precise system-level power sequencing without external logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±4% over 8–40V input, 0.2–1A load, −40°C to +125°C |
| Max Input Voltage | 40V - supports 24V nominal industrial rails with margin for transients |
| Switching Frequency | 52 kHz - enables use of low-cost, high-saturation-current inductors; reduces core loss vs. 100+ kHz ICs |
| Output Current | 1A continuous - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and interface ICs without external pass devices |
| Efficiency | 77% at 12VIN/5VOUT/1A - cuts heat sink requirements versus linear regulators by >70% |
| Standby Current | 50 μA typical - enables low-power sleep modes in battery-backed systems |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 37°C/W with 1 in² PCB copper - allows full 1A operation without external heatsink under 50°C ambient |
Pinout & Package
LM2575MX-5.0 uses the 5-lead DDPAK/TO-263 surface-mount package (package code KTT0005B), featuring an exposed thermal pad for direct PCB copper connection to improve heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: Input | Voltage supply input | Accepts 4.75–40V DC; requires local 47–100 μF aluminum electrolytic bypass capacitor |
| 2: Output | Regulated 5.0V switching node | Drives external catch diode and output filter; connects to 330–470 μF output capacitor |
| 3: Ground | Power and signal reference | Must be connected to thermal pad and low-impedance ground plane; single-point grounding recommended |
| 4: Feedback | Output voltage sense | Internally tied to 5.0V output; not accessible on fixed-version parts - no external resistor required |
| 5: ON/OFF | Enable/disable control | TTL-compatible: <1.0V = ON, >2.2V = OFF; draws only 12 μA when active, 50 μA in shutdown |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated thermal shutdown | Protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design by latching off above 150°C junction temperature |
| Cycle-by-cycle current limit | Clamps peak switch current at 2.2A typical, preventing inductor saturation and MOSFET failure during short-circuit events |
| Fixed 52 kHz oscillator | Eliminates need for external timing components; provides stable frequency across temperature and supply voltage |
| Requires only 4 external parts | Input cap, output cap, catch diode, and inductor - reduces BOM count and layout complexity versus controller-based solutions |
| TTL shutdown interface | Enables direct connection to microcontroller GPIO pins without level-shifting circuitry |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2575T-5.0 | TO-220 through-hole package; θJA = 45°C/W (no heatsink), 65°C/W (minimal copper) | Suitable for prototyping or low-volume assemblies where manual soldering is preferred | Select when mechanical mounting constraints favor vertical heatsink attachment or socket-based testing |
| MP1584EN-LF-Z | 3A output, 1.5 MHz switching, adjustable output; requires external feedback resistors and more complex compensation | Better suited for space-constrained designs needing higher current or smaller magnetics | Choose only if 1A rating is insufficient or PCB area demands sub-3mm inductor footprint |
Compared with LM2575T-5.0, the LM2575MX-5.0 offers superior thermal performance in production SMT assembly; versus MP1584EN-LF-Z, it trades higher integration and lower EMI for reduced design complexity and proven field reliability in industrial environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LM2575MX-5.0?
The LM2575MX-5.0 has an absolute maximum input voltage of 45V, but its specified operating range is 4.75V to 40V. Operation beyond 40V risks violating the guaranteed output regulation and thermal limits. The LM2575HV variant supports up to 60V input, but LM2575MX-5.0 is not rated for that range.
Does the LM2575MX-5.0 require an external feedback resistor network?
No. The LM2575MX-5.0 is a fixed-output version with internal feedback divider set for 5.0V. Pin 4 (Feedback) is internally connected and not accessible externally-no external resistors are needed, unlike the LM2575-ADJ variant. This simplifies layout and eliminates resistor tolerance errors affecting output accuracy.
What thermal performance can be expected from the LM2575MX-5.0 in a typical PCB layout?
With 1 square inch of 2-oz copper connected to the exposed thermal pad, the LM2575MX-5.0 achieves θJA = 37°C/W. At 1A load and 25°C ambient, junction temperature rises ~37°C - well within the −40°C to +125°C operating range. No external heatsink is required under these conditions.
Can the LM2575MX-5.0 be used in a negative-output (buck-boost) configuration?
Yes - the LM2575MX-5.0 datasheet explicitly lists "Positive to Negative Converter (Buck-Boost)" as a supported application. When configured per Figure 32 in SNVS106E, it generates a regulated −5V output from a positive input, leveraging the same 1A switch and protection features as in buck mode.
What is the minimum output capacitance required for stable operation of the LM2575MX-5.0?
The LM2575MX-5.0 requires ≥330 μF aluminum electrolytic output capacitance for stable regulation and ≤1% ripple at full load. Lower values risk loop instability and excessive output voltage deviation during load transients. TI recommends 330–470 μF with ≤0.1Ω ESR for optimal performance.
