Product details
Overview
LM2575SX-5.0/NOPB 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 LM2575SX-5.0/NOPB datasheet, LM2575SX-5.0/NOPB pinout, LM2575SX-5.0/NOPB application, or LM2575SX-5.0/NOPB equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, TO-263 package details, real-world design values for efficiency, dropout, and quiescent current, and two validated alternative parts with functional and application-level distinctions.
Technical Context
The LM2575SX-5.0/NOPB implements a fixed-frequency pulse-width modulation (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 and reduces EMI compared to higher-frequency alternatives.
It operates across 8V–40V input range, delivers up to 1A continuous output at 5.0V ±4%, and features TTL-compatible ON/OFF control with 50 μA standby current. Protection includes thermal shutdown, current limit (2.2A peak), and output short-circuit resilience via frequency foldback.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±4% over 0.2–1A load and 8–40V input - ensures stable logic rail without external resistive divider. |
| Max Output Current | 1A continuous - supports microcontroller, FPGA I/O, or sensor subsystems without derating at 25°C ambient. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 52 kHz ±10% - enables use of low-cost, high-saturation-current inductors (e.g., 330 µH) and simplifies EMI filtering. |
| Efficiency | 77% at 12VIN/5VOUT/1A - reduces heat sink requirements versus linear regulators; typical dissipation <1.3W. |
| Quiescent Current | 5 mA operating / 50 μA standby - enables low-power sleep modes in battery-backed or always-on systems. |
| Duty Cycle Range | 5%–98% - supports wide input-to-output ratios (e.g., 40V→5V) while maintaining regulation under light loads. |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 37°C/W (DDPAK/TO-263, 1 in² copper) - allows 1A operation up to +85°C ambient without forced air. |
Pinout & Package
LM2575SX-5.0/NOPB uses the 5-lead DDPAK/TO-263 surface-mount package (package code KTT0005B), with exposed thermal pad for enhanced heat transfer. The package measures 10.16 mm × 8.89 mm × 4.57 mm and is RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Input | Voltage supply input | Accepts 8–40V DC; requires ≥47 µF low-ESR aluminum electrolytic capacitor placed within 5 mm. |
| 2 - Output | Switched output node | Drives external catch diode and LC filter; connects directly to inductor and output capacitor anode. |
| 3 - Ground | Power and signal reference | Must be tied to thermal pad and PCB ground plane; serves as return for internal switch and feedback circuitry. |
| 4 - Feedback | Regulation sense input | Internally connected to 5.0V output; not user-accessible - fixed-voltage version omits external resistor network. |
| 5 - ON/OFF | Enable/disable control | TTL-compatible: ≤0.8V = OFF (50 μA standby), ≥2.2V = ON; open-drain compatible with microcontroller GPIO. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated NPN power switch | Eliminates need for external MOSFET driver; saturation voltage ≤0.9V at 1A enables high efficiency at low VIN. |
| Internal frequency compensation | Permits stable operation with only 4 external components (input cap, output cap, inductor, catch diode) - no loop tuning required. |
| Thermal shutdown + current limit | Protects against sustained overload or ambient overheating; auto-recovery on cooldown - no latch-up or manual reset needed. |
| Standard inductor compatibility | Optimized for 330 µH (5V output); eliminates custom magnetics - Pulse PE-52627, AIE 415-0926, and Renco RL1952 are drop-in options. |
| TTL shutdown interface | Enables system-level power sequencing: microcontroller can disable LM2575SX-5.0/NOPB before entering deep sleep, cutting total system IQ to <100 μA. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Power | Automotive Body Control Module |

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 architecture and specs, but in through-hole TO-220 package (θJA = 65°C/W); no exposed thermal pad. | Preferred for prototyping, low-volume assembly, or legacy through-hole designs where reflow isn't available. | Select LM2575T-5.0 when manual soldering or socket-based testing is required; avoid for high-density SMT production. |
| MP1584EN-LF-Z | Higher switching frequency (1.5 MHz), smaller external components, but lower max current (3A vs 1A) and no built-in thermal shutdown latch. | Better suited for space-constrained consumer electronics; less robust for industrial overload conditions. | Choose MP1584EN-LF-Z only if board area is critical and thermal stress is managed externally; LM2575SX-5.0/NOPB remains superior for ruggedized designs. |
Compared with LM2575T-5.0, LM2575SX-5.0/NOPB offers 43% lower thermal resistance and automated reflow compatibility; versus MP1584EN-LF-Z, it trades higher-frequency size reduction for proven fault protection and simpler magnetics selection in industrial environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2575SX-5.0/NOPB?
The LM2575SX-5.0/NOPB has an absolute maximum input voltage of 45V and an operating maximum of 40V. This allows reliable operation across wide industrial input ranges, including 24V systems with transient spikes. Exceeding 40V during normal operation risks violating the specified ±4% output accuracy and may trigger thermal shutdown under sustained overload.
Does LM2575SX-5.0/NOPB require an external feedback resistor network?
No. The LM2575SX-5.0/NOPB is the fixed 5.0V output variant - its feedback node (Pin 4) is internally connected to the output, eliminating the need for external resistors. This simplifies layout, improves accuracy, and removes resistor tolerance and temperature drift as error sources. Only adjustable versions (e.g., LM2575SX-ADJ) require external R1/R2.
Can LM2575SX-5.0/NOPB be used in a negative-output (buck-boost) configuration?
Yes - the LM2575SX-5.0/NOPB datasheet explicitly lists "Positive to Negative Converter (Buck-Boost)" as a supported application. When wired per Figure 32 in SNVS106E, it generates a regulated -5V output from a positive input, using the same external components as the standard buck configuration plus polarity-reversed output capacitor and diode.
What is the minimum recommended output capacitance for LM2575SX-5.0/NOPB?
The datasheet specifies a minimum of 100 µF aluminum electrolytic capacitor rated for ≥20V. Using 330 µF (as in the typical application circuit) reduces output ripple to ~1% of 5V (≈50 mVpp) and improves load transient response. Lower values risk instability or excessive ripple, especially under 1A step loads.
Is LM2575SX-5.0/NOPB pin-compatible with other LM2575 variants in the same package?
Yes - all LM2575 variants in the DDPAK/TO-263 package (e.g., LM2575SX-3.3/NOPB, LM2575SX-12/NOPB, LM2575SX-ADJ/NOPB) share identical pinout, footprint, and thermal pad layout. This enables design reuse and BOM flexibility: only the output voltage and feedback configuration differ between variants.
