Product details
Overview
LM2575SX-3.3/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a monolithic 1A step-down (buck) switching voltage regulator in TO-263 (DDPAK) package, delivering a fixed 3.3V output with ±4% tolerance across 4.75–40V input and 0.2–1A load. It integrates a 52 kHz oscillator, cycle-by-cycle current limiting, thermal shutdown, and TTL-compatible shutdown control-designed for compact, high-efficiency DC/DC conversion in industrial power rails and embedded system pre-regulation.
For engineers reviewing the LM2575SX-3.3/NOPB datasheet, LM2575SX-3.3/NOPB pinout, LM2575SX-3.3/NOPB application, or LM2575SX-3.3/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include its 3.3V fixed output, 1A continuous output current, 40V max input, TO-263 thermal performance (θJA = 37°C/W with 1 in² copper), and compatibility with standard off-the-shelf inductors and Schottky catch diodes.
Technical Context
The LM2575SX-3.3/NOPB implements a fixed-frequency (52 kHz) pulse-width modulation (PWM) buck topology with internal NPN switch, feedback comparator, and oscillator. Regulation is achieved via voltage-mode control using an internal 1.23V reference and resistive feedback network (not required for fixed-output variants).
It features built-in protection including thermal shutdown at ~150°C junction temperature, cycle-by-cycle peak current limiting (1.7–3.2A), and 50 μA typical standby current during TTL-level shutdown-enabling robust operation under overload, short-circuit, and transient conditions without external sensing circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±4% over 4.75–40V input and 0.2–1A load - ensures stable logic supply for 3.3V microcontrollers and FPGAs. |
| Max Output Current | 1A continuous - supports single-rail power for mid-power digital subsystems without external current boosting. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.75V to 40V - accommodates wide-input industrial, automotive, and telecom front-end supplies. |
| Switching Frequency | 52 kHz fixed - enables use of low-cost, high-saturation-current inductors and simplifies EMI filtering vs. higher-frequency alternatives. |
| Efficiency | 75% at 12VIN/3.3VOUT/1A - reduces heat generation versus linear regulators, minimizing or eliminating need for heatsinks. |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 37°C/W (with 1 in² PCB copper) - enables high-power operation in space-constrained layouts with passive cooling only. |
| Shutdown Current | 50 μA typical - supports low-power sleep modes in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems. |
Pinout & Package
LM2575SX-3.3/NOPB uses a 5-pin DDPAK/TO-263 surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad (Package Number KTT0005B). The case serves as the ground terminal and must be soldered to ≥1 in² of PCB copper for rated thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Input | Unregulated DC input supply | Accepts 4.75–40V; requires local 100 μF aluminum electrolytic bypass capacitor. |
| 2 - Ground | Power and signal reference | Common return for input, output, feedback, and shutdown; electrically tied to exposed thermal pad. |
| 3 - Output | Regulated 3.3V switching node | Drives external inductor and catch diode; connects to 330 μF output capacitor and load. |
| 4 - Feedback | Voltage sense input | Internally connected to 3.3V divider; left unconnected for fixed-output operation. |
| 5 - ON/OFF | TTL-compatible enable control | Logic-high (>2.2V) enables regulation; logic-low (<0.8V) disables output and reduces quiescent current to 50 μA. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 1A NPN switch | Eliminates need for external power transistor and drive circuitry - reduces BOM count and layout complexity. |
| Internal frequency compensation | Enables stable loop response with only 4 external components - no external compensation network required. |
| Thermal shutdown + current limit | Provides autonomous fault recovery under sustained overload or short-circuit - prevents device destruction without system-level intervention. |
| Standard inductor compatibility | Optimized for widely available off-the-shelf 330 μH inductors (e.g., Pulse PE-52627) - accelerates design and procurement. |
| TTL shutdown interface | Allows direct connection to microcontroller GPIO pins without level-shifting - simplifies power sequencing and low-power mode control. |
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-3.3 | TO-220 through-hole package; θJA = 45°C/W (with 4 in² copper); no exposed thermal pad | Suitable for prototyping, low-volume assembly, or legacy through-hole designs - less thermally efficient in high-density SMT layouts | Select when manual assembly, socketing, or mechanical mounting constraints favor through-hole form factor |
| LM2596S-3.3 | Higher 3A output current; 150 kHz switching frequency; requires different inductor/capacitor values | Better suited for higher-power loads or space-constrained designs needing smaller magnetics - not drop-in compatible due to differing frequency and compensation | Choose when >1A output or smaller passive component size is required - redesign of LC network and layout necessary |
Compared with LM2575T-3.3, the LM2575SX-3.3/NOPB offers superior thermal performance in SMT production environments; compared with LM2596S-3.3, it trades higher current capability for proven 52 kHz stability, lower EMI, and simpler magnetics selection - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained 1A applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2575SX-3.3/NOPB?
The LM2575SX-3.3/NOPB has a maximum input voltage rating of 40V. This is specified for the standard LM2575 variant (not the HV version). Operation above 40V risks permanent damage. For 60V input applications, the LM2575HVS-3.3/NOPB must be used instead. Always observe derating guidelines per ambient temperature and PCB copper area to maintain reliability.
Does LM2575SX-3.3/NOPB require external compensation components?
No, the LM2575SX-3.3/NOPB does not require external compensation components. It integrates internal frequency compensation optimized for stable operation with just four external parts: input capacitor, output capacitor, inductor, and catch diode. This eliminates tuning complexity and ensures consistent performance across manufacturing lots and operating conditions.
Can LM2575SX-3.3/NOPB be used in a negative-output (inverting) configuration?
Yes, the LM2575SX-3.3/NOPB can be configured as a positive-to-negative buck-boost converter to generate –3.3V from a positive input. TI Application Note SLVA017 provides the validated schematic, component selection rules, and layout guidance. The same IC, inductor, diode, and capacitors are reused - only the connection topology changes from buck to inverting.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of LM2575SX-3.3/NOPB under standard PCB conditions?
The LM2575SX-3.3/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. These values assume no external heatsink - sufficient for 1A operation at moderate ambient temperatures.
Is LM2575SX-3.3/NOPB RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, LM2575SX-3.3/NOPB is RoHS compliant and lead-free. The "/NOPB" suffix explicitly denotes "No Lead (Pb)-Free" packaging per TI's product nomenclature. It meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 3 requirements and is qualified for reflow soldering per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 standards.
