Product details
Overview
LM2575T-3.3 from onsemi is a monolithic step-down (buck) switching regulator IC delivering 1.0 A output current with fixed 3.3 V output, ±4% output voltage tolerance over line and load, and 52 kHz internal oscillator frequency. It operates from 4.75 V to 40 V input and integrates thermal shutdown, cycle-by-cycle current limiting, and TTL-compatible ON/OFF control - used in embedded power supplies requiring high efficiency over linear regulators.
For engineers reviewing the LM2575T-3.3 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include guaranteed 1.0 A output capability, no heatsink requirement under typical loads, fixed-output simplicity versus adjustable versions, and compatibility with standard off-the-shelf 330 µH inductors and Schottky catch diodes.
Technical Context
The LM2575T-3.3 implements a voltage-mode controlled buck converter with an integrated 1.0 A NPN switch, 1.235 V bandgap reference, error amplifier, and 52 kHz oscillator. Its feedback loop uses internal resistor division for fixed 3.3 V output - eliminating external programming resistors required by the adjustable version.
Protection architecture includes cycle-by-cycle peak current limiting (1.7–3.0 A typical), thermal shutdown at ~150°C junction temperature, and 80 µA standby quiescent current when ON/OFF pin is pulled high. The device supports continuous conduction mode operation and requires only four external components: input capacitor, output capacitor, inductor, and catch diode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±4% (3.135–3.465 V over −40°C to +125°C), enabling direct replacement of LDOs in 3.3 V logic rails. |
| Output Current | Guaranteed 1.0 A DC load current, sufficient for powering microcontrollers, FPGAs, and peripheral ICs without derating. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.75 V to 40 V DC, supporting wide-input industrial, automotive, and battery-derived supplies (e.g., 12 V or 24 V bus). |
| Switching Frequency | 52 kHz fixed internal oscillator (±10% over temperature), enabling use of low-cost, high-saturation-current inductors with minimal EMI filtering. |
| Efficiency | 75% typical at 12 VIN/3.3 VOUT/1.0 A, reducing thermal load vs. linear regulators and often eliminating heatsinks. |
| Quiescent Current | 5.0–9.0 mA operating, 80 µA in TTL shutdown mode - critical for low-power standby states in battery-backed systems. |
| Protection Features | Integrated thermal shutdown, cycle-by-cycle current limiting, and safe ON/OFF logic interface (VIL ≤ 1.2 V, VIH ≥ 2.2 V). |
Pinout & Package
LM2575T-3.3 is supplied in TO-220 package (Case 314D, T suffix), with heatsink surface electrically connected to Pin 3 (GND). This thermally enhanced through-hole package enables direct mounting to metal chassis or heatsinks for high-power operation without additional thermal interface materials.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Vin | Positive input supply | Accepts 4.75–40 V unregulated DC; requires local 100 µF low-ESR bypass capacitor to suppress switching transients. |
| 2 - Output | Emitter of internal NPN switch | Delivers regulated 3.3 V output; saturation voltage ≤1.2 V ensures low dropout at full load; PCB copper area must be minimized to reduce EMI coupling. |
| 3 - GND | Circuit ground reference | Common return for input, output, feedback, and ON/OFF; single-point grounding recommended to avoid ground loops in switching layout. |
| 4 - Feedback | Regulation sense node | Internally tied to fixed 3.3 V divider; not accessible externally - eliminates need for external resistors but prevents output adjustment. |
| 5 - ON/OFF | TTL-compatible enable/disable control | Pull ≥2.2 V to disable (80 µA standby); pull ≤1.2 V or ground to enable; compatible with microcontroller GPIO without level shifting. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed-output simplicity | Eliminates external feedback resistors - reduces BOM count, layout complexity, and calibration drift in production. |
| High-efficiency buck topology | 75% typical efficiency at 1.0 A avoids >2 W dissipation seen in linear regulators, enabling compact thermal design. |
| Robust protection suite | Thermal shutdown + cycle-by-cycle current limiting prevent damage during short-circuit, overload, or startup faults. |
| Standard inductor compatibility | Optimized for widely available 330 µH inductors (e.g., Renco RL1952, Pulse PE-52627), simplifying sourcing and qualification. |
| Low-standby power control | 80 µA shutdown current enables energy-sensitive applications like battery-powered IoT nodes or always-on monitoring circuits. |

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-3.3 | Extended input range (4.75–60 V), higher thermal resistance (RJA = 70°C/W), same pinout and electrical specs. | Suitable for 48 V telecom or industrial systems where input may exceed 40 V; requires more careful thermal design. | Select when input voltage exceeds 40 V; verify heatsink adequacy due to higher RJA. |
| MP1584EN-LF-Z | Higher switching frequency (1.5 MHz), smaller external components, 3 A output, but requires external feedback resistors and lacks ON/OFF pin. | Better for space-constrained designs; unsuitable where TTL shutdown or fixed 3.3 V without resistor tuning is mandatory. | Choose for miniaturized boards needing <1 cm² solution size; avoid if legacy ON/OFF control or resistor-free setup is required. |
Compared with LM2575HVT-3.3, the LM2575T-3.3 offers lower thermal resistance (65°C/W) for 40 V max inputs, while MP1584EN-LF-Z trades pin compatibility and simplicity for higher frequency and current - making LM2575T-3.3 optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally stable, fixed-output industrial power rails.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2575T-3.3?
The absolute maximum input voltage for LM2575T-3.3 is 45 V, but the recommended operating maximum is 40 V per the datasheet's Operating Ratings. Exceeding 40 V risks violating guaranteed performance limits, especially under high-temperature conditions. For applications with transient spikes above 40 V (e.g., automotive load dump), consider the LM2575HVT-3.3 variant rated to 60 V input.
Does LM2575T-3.3 require an external feedback resistor network?
No, LM2575T-3.3 does not require external feedback resistors. It integrates an internal resistor divider optimized for 3.3 V output, unlike the LM2575-ADJ version. Pin 4 (Feedback) is internally connected and not user-accessible - simplifying design and eliminating resistor tolerance and temperature drift concerns in the regulation loop.
Can LM2575T-3.3 drive a 1.0 A load continuously without a heatsink?
Yes, LM2575T-3.3 can deliver 1.0 A continuously without a heatsink under typical conditions: ambient temperature ≤50°C, 12 V input, and adequate PCB copper area (≥2 in² on layer 1 connected to Pin 3). Thermal calculations using RJA = 65°C/W show junction rise of ~45°C - well below the 125°C max operating limit. Higher input voltages or ambient temperatures require heatsinking.
What diode is recommended for use with LM2575T-3.3?
The datasheet specifies the 1N5819 Schottky diode (30 V, 1 A) as the standard catch diode for LM2575T-3.3 in typical applications. Its low forward voltage (~0.45 V) minimizes conduction loss, and its fast recovery prevents reverse recovery spikes. For higher reliability, alternatives include MBR130LSFT1G (30 V, 3 A) or SS14 (40 V, 1 A), all in DO-41 or SMA packages.
How does the ON/OFF pin function on LM2575T-3.3?
The ON/OFF pin (Pin 5) enables TTL-level control: applying ≥2.2 V disables the regulator (reducing input current to ~80 µA), while ≤1.2 V or grounding enables normal operation. This pin is compatible with 3.3 V and 5 V logic outputs without level shifters. Internal hysteresis prevents oscillation near the threshold, and leakage current remains below 30 µA across temperature.
