Product details
Overview
LM2575S-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 operates from 8V to 40V input and delivers stable 5V power for embedded control, industrial sensors, and point-of-load conversion.
For engineers reviewing the LM2575S-5.0 datasheet, LM2575S-5.0 pinout, LM2575S-5.0 application, or LM2575S-5.0 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package-specific pin functions, real-world efficiency data at 1A load, thermal resistance for TO-263 mounting, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The LM2575S-5.0 implements a fixed-frequency (52 kHz) pulse-width modulation (PWM) buck topology with internal NPN switch, feedback comparator, and oscillator. Its 1.23V reference feeds a resistive divider in adjustable versions, but is internally trimmed for 5.0V fixed output - eliminating external resistor selection.
It features TTL-compatible ON/OFF control (50 μA standby current), 0.9V typical saturation voltage at 1A, and built-in protection including thermal shutdown (150°C junction limit) and peak current limiting (1.7–3.0A range). The device requires only four external components: input capacitor, output capacitor, catch diode, and inductor.
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 Output Current | 1A continuous DC load capability with thermal derating above 25°C ambient |
| Switching Frequency | 52 kHz fixed internal oscillator - enables use of low-cost, high-saturation inductors |
| Efficiency | 77% typical at VIN = 12V, VOUT = 5V, IOUT = 1A - reduces heat sink requirements |
| Junction-to-Ambient θJA | 37°C/W for DDPAK/TO-263 package with ≥1 in² PCB copper - enables compact thermal layout |
| Standby Current | 50 μA typical when ON/OFF pin pulled high - supports low-power sleep modes |
| Saturation Voltage | 0.9V typical at 1A - limits conduction loss and improves light-load regulation |
Pinout & Package
LM2575S-5.0 uses the 5-lead surface-mount DDPAK/TO-263 package (package code KTT0005B), with exposed thermal pad electrically connected to Pin 2 (Output) for optimal heat transfer to PCB copper.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1: Input | VIN supply connection | Accepts 8–40V DC; requires local 47–100 μF aluminum electrolytic bypass |
| Pin 2: Output | Regulated 5.0V switching node | Drives inductor and output capacitor; thermally tied to exposed pad |
| Pin 3: Ground | Power and signal reference | Must connect to low-impedance ground plane; shares return path with catch diode |
| Pin 4: Feedback | Internal voltage sense input | Internally connected to 5.0V divider - no external resistors required |
| Pin 5: ON/OFF | TTL-compatible enable control | Pull ≥2.2V to enable; ≤0.8V to enter 50 μA standby mode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated thermal shutdown | Activates at 150°C junction temperature - prevents permanent damage during overload or poor heatsinking |
| Cycle-by-cycle current limiting | Peak switch current limited to 1.7–3.0A - maintains stability under short-circuit or startup surge |
| Fixed 52 kHz oscillator | Enables predictable EMI filtering and eliminates need for external timing components |
| Low-quiescent 50 μA standby | Reduces system-level power consumption in battery-backed or energy-sensitive applications |
| Requires only 4 external parts | Input cap, output cap, Schottky catch diode, and inductor - minimizes BOM count and layout complexity |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Module | Automotive Body Control Unit |

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 | Same electrical specs, but in through-hole TO-220 package (θJA = 45°C/W unheatsinked) | Preferred for prototyping, manual assembly, or legacy board designs requiring vertical mounting | Select when mechanical fit, hand-solderability, or thermal test flexibility outweighs surface-mount density benefits |
| MP1584EN-LF-Z | Higher 1.5A rating, 1.5 MHz switching, smaller solution size, but requires external compensation | Better suited for space-constrained, high-density designs where 52 kHz ripple is problematic | Choose when board area is critical and design team has experience tuning fast-switching buck loops |
Compared with LM2575T-5.0, LM2575S-5.0 offers lower thermal resistance (37 vs. 45°C/W) and automated assembly compatibility; versus MP1584EN-LF-Z, it trades higher integration and simpler layout for lower switching frequency and reduced EMI filter complexity.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2575S-5.0?
The LM2575S-5.0 has an absolute maximum input voltage of 45V and a recommended operating maximum of 40V. This rating applies across the full temperature range (−40°C to +125°C) and enables robust operation in 24V industrial systems and automotive environments with transient spikes. Exceeding 40V may trigger internal protection but is not guaranteed for continuous operation.
Does LM2575S-5.0 require external feedback resistors to set the 5V output?
No. The LM2575S-5.0 integrates the feedback divider for its fixed 5.0V output - Pin 4 (Feedback) is internally connected and must be left unconnected. External resistors are only required for the adjustable version (LM2575S-ADJ); adding them to LM2575S-5.0 will disrupt regulation and is not supported.
What catch diode is recommended for LM2575S-5.0 in a 1A application?
A Schottky diode rated for ≥1.2A average current and ≥50V reverse voltage is recommended - such as the SR103 (3A, 30V) or MBR130 (3A, 30V). These minimize forward voltage drop and switching losses. Fast-recovery diodes like UF4007 are acceptable but reduce efficiency by ~2–3% due to higher VF and reverse recovery charge.
How does thermal performance differ between LM2575S-5.0 and LM2575T-5.0?
The LM2575S-5.0 in TO-263 achieves 37°C/W θJA with 1 in² PCB copper, while the LM2575T-5.0 in TO-220 achieves 45°C/W without a heatsink. This 8°C/W improvement allows LM2575S-5.0 to sustain 1A continuously at up to 10°C higher ambient temperature - critical for sealed enclosures or stacked PCB assemblies.
Can LM2575S-5.0 be used in synchronous rectification configurations?
No. The LM2575S-5.0 uses an internal NPN transistor switch and requires an external catch diode - it does not support synchronous rectification. Its architecture lacks a second controlled switch or gate drive for a low-side MOSFET. For synchronous operation, consider TI's TPS5430 or MPQ4312 as alternatives.
