Product details
Overview
LM2575T-15/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a monolithic 1A step-down (buck) switching voltage regulator with fixed 15V output, 40V maximum input voltage, 52 kHz fixed-frequency oscillator, 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 LM2575T-15/NOPB datasheet, LM2575T-15/NOPB pinout, LM2575T-15/NOPB application, or LM2575T-15/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include output voltage tolerance (±4%), TO-220 package thermal resistance (65°C/W), standby current (50 μA), and compatibility with standard off-the-shelf inductors.
Technical Context
The LM2575T-15/NOPB implements a fixed-frequency PWM buck topology with internal NPN switch, feedback comparator, and oscillator. Its control loop uses voltage-mode regulation referenced to a 1.23V internal bandgap, requiring no external compensation.
It operates across −40°C to +125°C junction temperature, supports TTL-compatible shutdown via Pin 5, and delivers regulated 15V output with line regulation of ±0.2% and load regulation of ±0.5% under specified conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 15V ±4% over full operating range - ensures stable rail for analog front-ends and microcontroller peripherals. |
| Max Input Voltage | 40V - supports 24V industrial bus inputs with margin for transients. |
| Output Current | 1A continuous - sufficient for powering FPGA I/O banks or sensor signal chains. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 52 kHz ±10% - enables use of low-cost, high-saturation-current toroidal inductors. |
| Efficiency | 88% at VIN=18V, IOUT=1A - reduces thermal load vs. linear regulators in enclosed enclosures. |
| Standby Current | 50 μA typical - enables low-power sleep modes in battery-backed systems. |
| Thermal Resistance | 65°C/W (Junction-to-Ambient, TO-220, no heatsink) - defines minimum copper area required for thermal compliance. |
Pinout & Package
LM2575T-15/NOPB is housed in a 5-lead TO-220 package (Package Number NDH0005D) with exposed tab electrically connected to Pin 2 (Output). The tab serves as primary heat path and must be thermally coupled to PCB copper.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Input) | Power input | Accepts 4.75–40V DC; requires local 100 μF/75V electrolytic bypass capacitor. |
| 2 (Output) | Regulated output & power ground reference | Delivers 15V/1A; connects to exposed tab for thermal conduction; ties to output capacitor negative. |
| 3 (Ground) | Circuit ground | Separate low-noise ground return for feedback network; must be star-connected near IC. |
| 4 (Feedback) | Voltage sense input | Internally referenced to 1.23V; unused in fixed-output versions - left open. |
| 5 (ON/OFF) | TTL shutdown control | Drives output OFF when pulled ≥2.2V; draws ≤30 μA in shutdown - enables system-level power sequencing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated thermal shutdown | Activates at 150°C junction temperature and auto-recovers - eliminates need for external thermal cutoff. |
| Cycle-by-cycle current limiting | Peak switch current limited to 1.7–3.2A - protects against short-circuit faults without latch-up. |
| Fixed-frequency oscillator | 52 kHz operation - simplifies EMI filtering design and avoids audio-band noise. |
| Requires only 4 external components | Inductor, catch diode, input cap, output cap - reduces BOM count and layout complexity. |
| TTL-compatible shutdown | 50 μA standby current with logic-level control - enables microcontroller-driven power management. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2575HVT-15/NOPB | 60V max input (vs. 40V), same 15V output, identical pinout and package | Suitable for 48V telecom or automotive cold-crank environments where input may exceed 40V | Select when input transient immunity beyond 40V is required; otherwise LM2575T-15/NOPB offers cost advantage. |
| LM2596T-15 | Higher 3A output current, 150 kHz switching frequency, different pinout (TO-220-5 vs. TO-220-5 but non-interchangeable) | Supports higher load currents and smaller passive components; not drop-in compatible due to different feedback and shutdown behavior | Choose for >1A loads or space-constrained designs needing smaller inductors; requires full schematic and layout revision. |
Compared with LM2575HVT-15/NOPB, the LM2575T-15/NOPB trades input voltage headroom for lower cost and established qualification in industrial controls; versus LM2596T-15, it provides proven reliability at 1A with simpler EMI filtering but lacks scalability for higher current demands.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2575T-15/NOPB?
The LM2575T-15/NOPB has an absolute maximum input voltage of 45V, but its specified operating range is 4.75V to 40V. Operation above 40V risks exceeding electrical specifications and is not guaranteed; for 48V systems, TI recommends the LM2575HVT-15/NOPB variant rated up to 60V input.
Does LM2575T-15/NOPB require external compensation components?
No, the LM2575T-15/NOPB integrates full frequency compensation and requires no external compensation network. Its voltage-mode control architecture with fixed 52 kHz oscillator and internal error amplifier eliminates the need for external capacitors or resistors in the feedback loop - a key simplification versus adjustable switching controllers.
Can LM2575T-15/NOPB be used in a buck-boost configuration to generate negative output?
Yes, the LM2575T-15/NOPB can be configured as a buck-boost inverter to generate −15V from a positive input, using the standard application circuit shown in TI's SNVS106E datasheet Figure 32. This requires reversing input/output capacitor polarity and using a grounded inductor - the IC itself does not change, but layout and component ratings must follow inverting topology guidelines.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of LM2575T-15/NOPB in its TO-220 package?
The LM2575T-15/NOPB in the 5-lead TO-220 package (NDH0005D) has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 65°C/W when mounted vertically on a PCB with minimal copper area, and 45°C/W with ~4 in² of copper surrounding the leads. These values assume no external heatsink and define minimum PCB copper requirements for safe 1A operation at maximum ambient temperature.
Is the feedback pin (Pin 4) used in LM2575T-15/NOPB?
No, the feedback pin (Pin 4) is not connected internally in the fixed-output LM2575T-15/NOPB variant and must be left unconnected (open). It is only functional in the adjustable version (LM2575T-ADJ); connecting it in the 15V fixed version may cause regulation instability or damage due to unintended bias paths.
