Product details
Overview
LM2575T-5.0/LF02 from Texas Instruments is a monolithic 1A step-down (buck) switching voltage regulator in TO-220 package, delivering fixed 5.0V ±4% output across 8–40V input range, with 52 kHz fixed-frequency operation, 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-5.0/LF02 datasheet, LM2575T-5.0/LF02 pinout, LM2575T-5.0/LF02 application, or LM2575T-5.0/LF02 equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (8–40V), guaranteed 1A output current, ±4% output tolerance at full load/temperature, TTL-compatible shutdown capability (50 μA standby), and compatibility with standard off-the-shelf inductors.
Technical Context
The LM2575T-5.0/LF02 integrates a PWM controller, power switch, oscillator, error amplifier, and protection circuitry into a single TO-220 device. Its fixed-frequency 52 kHz operation enables predictable EMI filtering and stable loop compensation using only four external components: input capacitor, output capacitor, catch diode, and inductor.
It employs internal frequency compensation and a built-in 1.23V reference for feedback control. The output stage features a bipolar NPN transistor switch with 0.9V typical saturation voltage at 1A, enabling efficient conversion without external gate drivers or complex layout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±4% over 0.2–1A load and −40°C to +125°C junction temperature |
| Input Voltage Range | 8V to 40V - supports 12V/24V industrial rails and battery-backed systems |
| Output Current | 1A continuous - sufficient for microcontroller subsystems, sensors, and logic rails |
| Switching Frequency | 52 kHz fixed - enables use of low-cost, high-saturation-current inductors (e.g., 330 µH) |
| Efficiency | 77% at VIN = 12V, IOUT = 1A - reduces thermal load vs. linear regulators |
| Standby Current | 50 µA typical with TTL shutdown - enables low-power sleep modes |
| Thermal Protection | Internal thermal shutdown with automatic recovery - prevents latch-up during overload |
Pinout & Package
LM2575T-5.0/LF02 uses a 5-lead TO-220 package (Package Number NDH0005D) with exposed tab electrically connected to Pin 2 (Output). Mounting requires thermal interface to heatsink or PCB copper pour for sustained 1A operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Input | Unregulated DC supply input | Accepts 8–40V; requires local 100 µF/75V electrolytic bypass |
| 2 - Output | Regulated 5.0V switching node | Drives inductor; connects to exposed tab - must be thermally coupled to heatsink |
| 3 - Ground | Power and signal reference | Single-point ground connection required for noise immunity and stability |
| 4 - Feedback | Output voltage sense input | Internally tied to 5.0V divider; not accessible on fixed-output variants |
| 5 - ON/OFF | TTL-compatible enable/disable control | Logic-high (>2.2V) enables regulation; logic-low (<0.8V) disables with 50 µA standby |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated switch and controller | Eliminates need for external MOSFET driver or discrete PWM IC |
| Fixed 5.0V output | Removes external resistor divider, reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity |
| 52 kHz oscillator | Enables use of low-DCR, high-current inductors with minimal core loss |
| Cycle-by-cycle current limit | Protects against short-circuit and overload without external sensing resistors |
| TTL shutdown | Allows system-level power sequencing and low-quiescent-power sleep states |

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 | No /LF02 suffix; standard industrial grade (−40°C to +125°C), same electrical specs and TO-220 package | Identical functional behavior; /LF02 denotes tape-and-reel packaging per TI's ordering convention | Select LM2575T-5.0 for tube delivery or prototyping; LM2575T-5.0/LF02 for automated SMT assembly |
| LM2575HVT-5.0 | Higher input rating: 60V max vs. 40V; otherwise identical pinout, 5V output, and 1A capability | Suitable for 48V telecom or automotive cold-crank environments where transient spikes exceed 40V | Choose LM2575HVT-5.0 only if input can exceed 40V; adds cost and thermal overhead for 12V/24V systems |
Compared with LM2575T-5.0/LF02, the LM2575T-5.0 offers identical performance in tube packaging, while LM2575HVT-5.0 extends input range to 60V at the expense of higher thermal resistance and reduced efficiency below 30V - making LM2575T-5.0/LF02 optimal for cost-sensitive 12V/24V industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2575T-5.0/LF02?
The LM2575T-5.0/LF02 has an absolute maximum input voltage of 45V, but its specified operating input range is 8V to 40V. Operation above 40V risks exceeding electrical limits and invalidating parametric guarantees - for 48V systems, LM2575HVT-5.0 is the qualified alternative. Always observe derating guidelines per TI SNVS106E.
Does LM2575T-5.0/LF02 require an external feedback resistor network?
No. The LM2575T-5.0/LF02 is a fixed-output variant with internal resistor divider set to 5.0V; Pin 4 (Feedback) is not externally accessible and must remain unconnected. This eliminates tuning errors and improves stability versus adjustable versions like LM2575-ADJ.
What thermal management is required for LM2575T-5.0/LF02 at full 1A load?
At 1A and 12V input, LM2575T-5.0/LF02 dissipates ~1.8W. With θJA = 65°C/W (no heatsink), junction rise exceeds safe limits. Use the TO-220 tab (Pin 2) mounted to ≥4 in² copper area or a small aluminum heatsink to maintain TJ ≤125°C. Derate output current above 70°C ambient.
Can LM2575T-5.0/LF02 be used in a negative-output (inverting) configuration?
Yes - LM2575T-5.0/LF02 supports inverting buck-boost topology per TI Application Note SLVA017. With proper diode and inductor orientation, it generates −5V from a +12V input. Output regulation accuracy remains ±4%, but ripple and transient response differ from standard buck mode.
Is LM2575T-5.0/LF02 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes. LM2575T-5.0/LF02 carries the /LF02 suffix per TI's packaging nomenclature, indicating lead-free (Pb-free), RoHS-compliant construction with matte tin lead finish and green molding compound. Full compliance documentation is available in TI's Quality & Environmental page for SNVS106E.
