Product details
Overview
LM2575S-15/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a monolithic 1A step-down (buck) switching voltage regulator with fixed 15V output, 52 kHz internal oscillator, ±4% output voltage tolerance over line/load/temperature, and integrated thermal shutdown and cycle-by-cycle current limiting. It operates from 18V to 40V input and delivers stable 15V power for industrial control rails and embedded power subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the LM2575S-15/NOPB datasheet, LM2575S-15/NOPB pinout, LM2575S-15/NOPB application, or LM2575S-15/NOPB equivalent, this device serves as a high-efficiency replacement for linear regulators in medium-power DC-DC conversion where compact size, minimal external components (only 4 required), and robust fault protection are critical.
Technical Context
The LM2575S-15/NOPB integrates a PWM controller, power switch, oscillator, error amplifier, and protection circuitry into a single TO-263 (DDPAK) package. Its fixed-frequency 52 kHz operation enables predictable EMI filtering and compatibility with standard off-the-shelf inductors rated for ≥1.15 A DC and 52 kHz.
It uses voltage-mode control with internal frequency compensation and requires no external loop compensation. The ON/OFF pin supports TTL-compatible shutdown with 50 μA standby current, while the feedback node is internally connected to set 15V output - eliminating external resistor dividers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 15 V ±4% over 0.2–1 A load, 18–40 V input, −40°C to +125°C junction temperature |
| Max Output Current | 1 A continuous; limited by thermal resistance (θJA = 37°C/W with 1 in² copper) and internal 2.2 A peak current limit |
| Switching Frequency | 52 kHz fixed; enables use of low-cost, high-saturation-current inductors and simplifies EMI filter design |
| Input Voltage Range | 18 V to 40 V DC; minimum dropout defined by duty cycle limit (98%) and saturation voltage (0.9 V typical) |
| Efficiency | 88% at VIN = 18 V, IOUT = 1 A; reduces heat sink requirements versus linear regulators |
| Quiescent Current | 5 mA operating; drops to 50 μA in TTL shutdown mode - suitable for low-power standby states |
| Protection Features | Thermal shutdown, cycle-by-cycle current limiting, and safe short-circuit recovery without latch-up |
Pinout & Package
LM2575S-15/NOPB is housed in a 5-lead surface-mount DDPAK/TO-263 package (package code KTT0005B), featuring an exposed thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation. The package measures 10.16 mm × 8.38 mm × 4.57 mm and is RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Input (VIN) | Main DC input supply connection | Accepts 18–40 V; requires local 100 μF/75 V aluminum electrolytic bypass capacitor |
| 2 - Output (VOUT) | Regulated 15 V switching output | Drives external inductor and catch diode; connects to 330 μF/25 V output capacitor |
| 3 - Ground (GND) | Power and signal reference plane | Must be tied directly to PCB ground plane; shared return for internal circuits and thermal pad |
| 4 - Feedback (FB) | Internal voltage sense node | Internally connected to 15 V divider; no external components required for fixed-output version |
| 5 - ON/OFF | Digital enable/disable control | TTL-compatible: <1.0 V = ON, >2.2 V = OFF; draws ≤12 μA when active, 50 μA in standby |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 15 V output | Eliminates external resistor network - reduces BOM count, layout sensitivity, and temperature drift |
| Only 4 external components required | Inductor, catch diode, input capacitor, output capacitor - accelerates design-in and lowers system cost |
| Integrated thermal shutdown | Automatically disables switching above 150°C junction temperature and recovers autonomously on cooldown |
| 52 kHz fixed-frequency oscillator | Enables consistent EMI signature and simplifies input/output filter design using standardized passive components |
| TTL shutdown capability | Supports microcontroller-controlled power sequencing with <50 μA standby current - ideal for battery-backed systems |
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-15 | TO-220 through-hole package; θJA = 45°C/W (with 4 in² copper); no exposed thermal pad | Suitable for prototyping or low-volume assemblies where manual soldering or socketing is preferred | Select LM2575T-15 when board-level reflow is unavailable or thermal demands are lower than 1 A continuous. |
| LM2575HVS-15 | Wider 18–60 V input range; higher 63 V absolute max input rating; identical pinout and 15 V output | Required for 48 V telecom or industrial systems where input transients exceed 40 V | Choose LM2575HVS-15 when input voltage may reach 56 V during surge or hold-up conditions. |
Compared with LM2575T-15 and LM2575HVS-15, the LM2575S-15/NOPB offers superior thermal performance in surface-mount layouts due to its TO-263 thermal pad, while retaining full functional compatibility with the standard LM2575 family - enabling drop-in substitution where board space and thermal density are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage for LM2575S-15/NOPB?
The LM2575S-15/NOPB supports a maximum operating input voltage of 40 V DC. Its absolute maximum rating is 45 V, but sustained operation above 40 V violates the specified operating conditions and risks out-of-spec behavior or premature failure. For 48 V nominal systems, TI recommends the LM2575HVS-15 variant instead.
Does LM2575S-15/NOPB require external feedback resistors?
No, the LM2575S-15/NOPB does not require external feedback resistors. As a fixed-output version, its internal resistor divider sets the regulated output to 15 V. Pin 4 (FB) is internally connected and must remain unconnected - adding external components will disrupt regulation and is not supported.
Can LM2575S-15/NOPB be used in a buck-boost (inverting) configuration?
Yes, the LM2575S-15/NOPB can be configured as a positive-to-negative converter using the standard buck-boost topology shown in TI's application notes. In this mode, it generates −15 V from a positive input, retaining its 52 kHz switching frequency, current limiting, and thermal protection - though output current capability is reduced by diode and inductor losses.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of LM2575S-15/NOPB under standard PCB conditions?
The LM2575S-15/NOPB has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 37°C/W when mounted on a PCB with 1 square inch of copper area thermally connected to its exposed DDPAK pad. With less copper (e.g., 0.5 in²), θJA rises to 50°C/W - design must verify junction temperature stays below 125°C under worst-case load and ambient conditions.
Is LM2575S-15/NOPB pin-compatible with other LM2575 variants?
Yes, the LM2575S-15/NOPB shares identical pinout and electrical behavior with all other LM2575-S (TO-263) variants, including LM2575S-5.0/NOPB and LM2575S-ADJ/NOPB. This allows direct substitution within the same package footprint, provided the output voltage requirement matches the fixed version selected.
