Product details
Overview
LM2575S-ADJ from Texas Instruments is a monolithic step-down (buck) switching voltage regulator IC delivering up to 1A output current with adjustable output voltage ranging from 1.23V to 37V, ±4% tolerance, operating from 40V input and featuring internal 52 kHz oscillator, thermal shutdown, and cycle-by-cycle current limiting - used in on-card DC/DC conversion for industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LM2575S-ADJ datasheet, LM2575S-ADJ pinout, LM2575S-ADJ application, or LM2575S-ADJ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, confirmed package mapping (TO-263/DDPAK), validated pin functions, real-world application constraints, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for adjustable 1A buck regulation.
Technical Context
The LM2575S-ADJ implements a fixed-frequency (52 kHz) pulse-width modulation (PWM) buck topology with integrated N-channel DMOS switch, internal frequency compensation, and feedback-controlled duty cycle adjustment via external resistor divider. It operates in continuous conduction mode and includes built-in cycle-by-cycle current limiting and thermal shutdown.
Its feedback pin (Pin 4) senses a precise 1.23V reference, enabling output voltage programming across 1.23V–37V using two external resistors. Standby mode is activated via TTL-compatible ON/OFF pin (Pin 5), drawing only 50 μA typical quiescent current when disabled.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 1A maximum continuous - supports mid-power embedded systems without external pass transistor. |
| Input Voltage Range | 40V max (non-HV version) - compatible with 24V/36V industrial rails and unregulated AC/DC outputs. |
| Output Voltage Range | 1.23V to 37V adjustable - set by external R1/R2 divider; no fixed-voltage variants required. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.23V ±1.2% (min/max over temp) - determines output accuracy and sets minimum resolvable VOUT step. |
| Switching Frequency | 52 kHz fixed - enables use of low-cost, high-saturation-current off-the-shelf inductors (e.g., 330–470 µH). |
| Efficiency | 77% at 12VIN/5VOUT/1A - reduces thermal load vs. linear regulators; eliminates need for large heatsinks. |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 37°C/W (DDPAK/TO-263, 1 in² copper) - enables 1A operation at ambient ≤70°C without forced air. |
Pinout & Package
LM2575S-ADJ is housed in a 5-lead surface-mount DDPAK/TO-263 package (package code KTT0005B), with exposed thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation. Pin numbering follows standard TO-263 orientation (viewed from top, tab left, pins right-to-left: 1–5).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Input (VIN) | Main power input | Accepts 4.75V–40V DC; requires ≥100 µF input capacitor near pin for stability and EMI suppression. |
| 2 - Output (VOUT) | Switch node / power output | Drives external catch diode and inductor; high dv/dt node requiring short PCB trace routing. |
| 3 - Ground (GND) | Power and signal reference | Must connect directly to thermal pad and low-impedance ground plane to ensure thermal performance and noise immunity. |
| 4 - Feedback (FB) | Voltage sense input | Compares divided output voltage to 1.23V internal reference; sensitive node requiring shortest possible trace to R1/R2 divider. |
| 5 - ON/OFF | Digital enable control | TTL-compatible shutdown input; <1.0V disables regulator (50 µA standby); >2.2V enables normal operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 1A DMOS switch | Eliminates need for external MOSFET and driver; simplifies layout and reduces BOM count. |
| Fixed 52 kHz oscillator | Enables predictable EMI filtering and consistent inductor selection across designs. |
| TTL shutdown with 50 µA standby | Supports low-power sleep modes in battery-backed or energy-conscious systems. |
| Cycle-by-cycle current limit | Protects against short-circuit and overload without latch-up; allows automatic recovery. |
| Thermal shutdown + internal compensation | Ensures safe operation under sustained overload; removes need for external compensation network. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable 1A buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2596S-ADJ | Higher 150 kHz switching frequency; 3A output rating; wider 4.5–40V input range; requires smaller inductor (47–100 µH). | Better suited for space-constrained designs needing higher current or lower output ripple; not drop-in due to different pinout and compensation. | Select LM2596S-ADJ when board area is limited or >1A output is anticipated; verify loop stability with new LC values. |
| MP1584EN-LF-Z | 2A output; 1.5 MHz switching; integrated soft-start; tighter 1.22V ±1% feedback reference; requires external compensation. | Enables ultra-compact designs with ceramic output capacitors; higher frequency increases sensitivity to layout parasitics. | Choose MP1584EN-LF-Z for high-density consumer electronics; avoid in noise-sensitive analog systems without added filtering. |
Compared with LM2575S-ADJ, LM2596S-ADJ offers higher current headroom and smaller magnetics but demands revised PCB layout and compensation, while MP1584EN-LF-Z delivers superior regulation accuracy and integration at the cost of increased design complexity and EMI management effort.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2575S-ADJ?
The LM2575S-ADJ has an absolute maximum input voltage of 45V and a recommended operating maximum of 40V. Exceeding 40V risks violating the device's specified operating ratings and may trigger thermal shutdown or reduce long-term reliability. The HV variant (LM2575HVS-ADJ) supports up to 60V input, but LM2575S-ADJ must remain within its 40V limit for guaranteed performance.
How do I calculate the output voltage for LM2575S-ADJ?
The output voltage of LM2575S-ADJ is set by two external resistors (R1 and R2) using the formula VOUT = 1.23V × (1 + R2/R1), where R1 connects from FB to GND and R2 connects from VOUT to FB. R1 should be between 1 kΩ and 5 kΩ; typical values use 2.0 kΩ (R1) and 6.12 kΩ (R2) for 5V. The LM2575S-ADJ relies on its internal 1.23V reference, so resistor tolerance and temperature coefficient directly impact output accuracy.
Does LM2575S-ADJ require an external diode, and what type is recommended?
Yes, LM2575S-ADJ requires an external Schottky catch diode connected from VOUT (Pin 2) to GND. Recommended parts include MBR340 (3A, 40V) or SR103 (3A, 30V), selected for low forward voltage (<0.5V) and fast recovery to minimize conduction loss and switching stress. The diode must handle peak currents up to 3.2A (LM2575S-ADJ current limit) and reverse voltage exceeding the input voltage.
What thermal considerations apply to LM2575S-ADJ in TO-263 package?
LM2575S-ADJ in TO-263 (DDPAK) achieves θJA = 37°C/W with ≥1 in² copper area connected to its thermal pad. Without adequate copper, junction temperature can exceed 125°C at 1A load and 50°C ambient. Designers must solder the exposed pad fully, use thermal vias to inner ground planes, and avoid enclosing the device in sealed enclosures without airflow - all critical for sustained LM2575S-ADJ reliability.
Can LM2575S-ADJ be synchronized to an external clock?
No, LM2575S-ADJ does not support external clock synchronization. Its 52 kHz oscillator is fully internal and fixed-frequency; there is no SYNC pin or frequency-adjust capability. For designs requiring synchronization (e.g., to avoid beat frequencies in multi-rail systems), alternatives like MP1584EN-LF-Z or TPS54302 must be considered - LM2575S-ADJ operates autonomously and cannot be slaved to an external timing source.
