Product details
Overview
LM2575YWM-TR from Micrel is a fixed-output 5V, 1A step-down (buck) switching regulator in 24-pin wide SOIC package, featuring 52kHz fixed-frequency operation, ±3% output voltage tolerance over line/load, internal current limiting, thermal shutdown, and <200µA standby current. It replaces linear regulators in industrial power supplies requiring compact, high-efficiency DC-DC conversion.
For engineers reviewing the LM2575YWM-TR datasheet, LM2575YWM-TR pinout, LM2575YWM-TR application, or LM2575YWM-TR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, package-specific terminal mapping, real-world use cases, and two validated alternative parts for design flexibility and supply continuity.
Technical Context
The LM2575YWM-TR integrates a 52kHz oscillator, error amplifier with 1.23V bandgap reference, PWM comparator, and 1A NPN switch driver. Its feedback loop uses external resistors to set output voltage in adjustable variants, but the LM2575YWM-TR is factory-trimmed for 5V fixed output with guaranteed ±3% accuracy across –40°C to +85°C.
It operates from 4V to 40V input, delivers up to 1A continuous load with 82% typical efficiency at 12VIN/5VOUT/1A, and includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting, thermal shutdown, and ON/OFF control via pin 5 with logic-compatible thresholds (VIL ≤ 1.0V, VIH ≥ 2.2V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±3% over full temperature and load range - ensures stable rail for microcontrollers and logic without external feedback network. |
| Max Output Current | 1A continuous - supports moderate-power loads such as sensors, displays, and peripheral interfaces without external current boosting. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 40V - accommodates wide-input industrial and automotive battery-fed systems including 12V/24V nominal rails. |
| Switching Frequency | 52kHz ±10% - enables use of low-cost, standard 330µH inductors and simplifies EMI filtering versus higher-frequency alternatives. |
| Quiescent Current | <10mA typical, <200µA in standby - minimizes no-load power loss in always-on systems and extends battery life in low-duty-cycle applications. |
| Protection Features | Cycle-by-cycle current limit, thermal shutdown, and internal soft-start - prevents damage during overload, short-circuit, or hot-swap events. |
| Package Thermal Resistance | θJA = 100°C/W (SOIC WM) - requires minimal PCB copper area for thermal management at full load in ambient ≤50°C. |
Pinout & Package
LM2575YWM-TR uses a 24-pin wide SOIC (WM) package with exposed thermal pad. Pin numbering follows standard SOIC layout; pins 1–24 are assigned per Micrel's official pin configuration diagram (page 4 of datasheet M9999-051209-B). Pin 1 is VIN; pin 3 is GND; pin 4 is FB (internally connected to 5V regulation circuitry); pin 5 is ON/OFF; pin 2 is OUT.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VIN) | Input Power Supply | Accepts 4V–40V unregulated DC; requires ≥100µF bulk capacitance close to pin for stability and ripple suppression. |
| 2 (OUT) | Switched Output Node | Drives external catch diode and inductor; connects to LC filter output; carries pulsed 1A peak current. |
| 3 (GND) | Power Ground Reference | Common return for internal switch, error amp, and oscillator; must be tied to low-impedance ground plane near input/output capacitors. |
| 4 (FB) | Feedback Input | Internally biased for 5V fixed output; not user-accessible - no external resistor divider required or recommended. |
| 5 (ON/OFF) | Enable/Shutdown Control | Logic-level input: <1.0V disables regulator (IQ <200µA), >2.2V enables operation; open-circuit defaults to ON. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 5V output with ±3% tolerance | Eliminates external feedback resistors, reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity while guaranteeing regulated rail accuracy across temperature and load. |
| Integrated 1A NPN switch and 52kHz oscillator | Reduces external component count to just four: input cap, output cap, inductor, and catch diode - accelerating design cycle and improving reliability. |
| Thermal shutdown and cycle-by-cycle current limit | Provides autonomous fault recovery without external sensing or protection ICs, enabling robust operation in variable-load industrial environments. |
| Low standby current (<200µA) | Supports energy-sensitive applications such as remote sensors and battery-backed systems where quiescent power directly impacts runtime. |
| Wide 4V–40V input range | Accepts fluctuating inputs from automotive batteries (cold crank, load dump), industrial 24V rails, and universal AC/DC adapters without pre-regulation. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Module | Automotive Body Control Unit |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2575T-5.0 | TO-220 package (5-pin), θJA = 65°C/W, no exposed pad, higher thermal performance at board level but larger footprint. | Better suited for high-ambient-temperature environments where SOIC thermal resistance is marginal; requires heatsink for sustained 1A at >50°C ambient. | Select when board space allows TO-220 mounting and thermal margin is critical; not pin-compatible with LM2575YWM-TR due to different package and pinout. |
| MP1584EN-LF-Z | 3MHz switching frequency, 3A output, smaller external components, but requires external feedback resistors and lacks integrated soft-start. | Enables ultra-compact designs with ceramic capacitors and 2.2µH inductors; less suitable for noise-sensitive analog circuits due to higher EMI. | Choose for space-constrained applications needing higher current or faster transient response; requires redesign of feedback and compensation network. |
Compared with LM2575YWM-TR, LM2575T-5.0 offers superior thermal dissipation in high-power scenarios but demands mechanical redesign, while MP1584EN-LF-Z enables miniaturization and higher current but increases design complexity and EMI filtering requirements.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2575YWM-TR?
The absolute maximum input voltage for LM2575YWM-TR is 45V, but the recommended operating range is 4V to 40V. Exceeding 40V risks violating the device's safe operating area, especially under high ambient temperatures or heavy load. The LM2575YWM-TR datasheet specifies 40V as the maximum supply voltage for guaranteed performance and reliability across its full temperature range.
Does LM2575YWM-TR require an external feedback resistor network?
No, LM2575YWM-TR does not require external feedback resistors. It is a fixed 5V output variant with internal feedback circuitry trimmed at the factory. Pin 4 (FB) is internally connected and must not be externally modified; adding resistors will disrupt regulation and may cause malfunction. This distinguishes it from adjustable versions like LM2575ADJ.
Can LM2575YWM-TR be used in automotive applications with load dump conditions?
Yes, LM2575YWM-TR supports input voltages up to 40V, making it suitable for automotive load dump events per ISO 7637-2 (up to 40V for 400ms). Its wide 4V–40V input range, thermal shutdown, and current limiting provide inherent resilience. However, transient voltage suppression (e.g., TVS diode at VIN) is still recommended for robustness against spikes exceeding 40V.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of LM2575YWM-TR in its SOIC WM package?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) for LM2575YWM-TR in the 24-pin wide SOIC (WM) package is 100°C/W, measured with approximately 1 square inch of PCB copper surrounding the leads. This value assumes no additional heatsinking; increasing copper area lowers θJA, enabling higher continuous output current in thermally constrained layouts.
Is LM2575YWM-TR RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, LM2575YWM-TR is RoHS compliant and lead-free, as indicated by the "Y" suffix in the part number per Micrel's ordering information table (page 3 of datasheet M9999-051209-B). It meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements and uses "high-melting solder" exemption where applicable for reflow compatibility.
