Product details
Overview
LM2576D2T-005G from onsemi is a monolithic 3.0 A, 5.0 V fixed-output step-down (buck) switching regulator in D2PAK package. It operates from 7.0–40 V input, delivers ±4% output voltage accuracy over line/load/temperature, features 52 kHz internal oscillator, cycle-by-cycle current limiting, thermal shutdown, and TTL-compatible ON/OFF control - used in industrial power supplies requiring high efficiency and minimal external components.
For engineers reviewing the LM2576D2T-005G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include guaranteed 3.0 A output current, fixed 5.0 V output with ±4% tolerance, D2PAK thermal performance (RJC = 5.0 °C/W), 80 µA standby current, and compatibility with standard off-the-shelf inductors.
Technical Context
The LM2576D2T-005G integrates a 3.0 A NPN switch, 1.235 V bandgap reference, error amplifier, 52 kHz oscillator, and thermal/current protection circuitry. Its fixed 5.0 V output eliminates external feedback resistors, simplifying design while maintaining ±4% regulation across −40 °C to +125 °C junction temperature and 0.5–3.0 A load range.
It uses voltage-mode PWM control with fixed-frequency operation and automatic frequency foldback (to ~18 kHz) under overload/short-circuit conditions. The internal switch exhibits 1.5 V typical saturation voltage at 3.0 A, enabling efficient conversion especially at higher input voltages where linear regulators would dissipate excessive heat.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0 V ±4% over full line/load/temperature range - ensures stable logic supply without trimming. |
| Max Output Current | 3.0 A continuous - supports mid-power embedded systems without external current boosting. |
| Input Voltage Range | 7.0 V to 40 V - accommodates 12 V/24 V industrial rails and automotive battery variations. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 52 kHz ±10% (±2% from 0–125 °C) - enables use of low-cost, high-saturation-current inductors with minimal EMI filtering. |
| Standby Quiescent Current | 80 µA typical at 25 °C - allows low-power shutdown mode for battery-backed or energy-sensitive applications. |
| Thermal Resistance | Junction-to-case = 5.0 °C/W - enables direct heatsink mounting via exposed tab (Pin 3) for reliable 3 A operation without PCB copper flooding. |
| Protection Features | Cycle-by-cycle current limit (4.2–6.9 A peak), thermal shutdown, and safe ON/OFF logic interface - provides robust fault recovery without external supervision. |
Pinout & Package
D2PAK (TO-263) package, Case 936A, with heatsink surface electrically connected to Pin 3 (GND). Exposed metal tab serves as primary thermal path and must be soldered to large copper area or external heatsink.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Vin | Positive input supply | Accepts 7–40 V unregulated DC; requires low-ESR 100 µF input capacitor placed adjacent to minimize switching noise injection. |
| 2 - Output | Emitter of internal NPN switch | Delivers regulated 5.0 V; PCB copper area must be minimized to reduce coupling into sensitive analog circuits. |
| 3 - GND | Circuit ground / heatsink connection | Common return for all signals and thermal interface; must be low-inductance single-point connection to avoid ground bounce. |
| 4 - Feedback | Regulation sense input | Internally tied to 5.0 V output - unused in fixed-version; leave unconnected or tie to GND per layout guidelines. |
| 5 - ON/OFF | TTL-compatible enable/disable control | Logic-high (>2.2 V) disables regulator (80 µA standby); logic-low (<1.2 V) or open enables operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 5.0 V output | Eliminates external resistor divider, reducing BOM count and improving long-term stability vs. adjustable variants. |
| 52 kHz fixed-frequency operation | Enables predictable EMI filtering and compatibility with widely available, cost-optimized 100 µH power inductors. |
| Integrated thermal shutdown | Automatically disables output when junction exceeds 150 °C, preventing damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |
| TTL-compatible ON/OFF pin | Allows microcontroller-based power sequencing without level-shifting; consumes only 80 µA in shutdown state. |
| Current-limit protection | Peak current limit of 4.2–6.9 A prevents destructive inductor saturation and MOSFET failure during short-circuit events. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2576T-5.0 | TO-220 package (Case 314B/D); RJA = 65 °C/W vs. D2PAK's 70 °C/W; same electrical specs. | Requires mechanical heatsink mounting; less suitable for high-density SMT layouts. | Choose for through-hole assembly or when existing TO-220 footprint is fixed. |
| MP1584EN-LF-Z | 4.5–28 V input; 3 A; adjustable/fixed 5 V; 1.5 MHz switching; smaller solution size but higher EMI sensitivity. | Requires careful layout for EMI compliance; not drop-in due to different pinout, frequency, and compensation. | Choose for space-constrained designs needing higher frequency and lower output ripple - not a pin-for-pin replacement. |
Compared with LM2576T-5.0, the LM2576D2T-005G offers superior thermal resistance to case (5.0 °C/W) and surface-mount compatibility, while MP1584EN-LF-Z trades robustness and layout simplicity for higher integration and frequency - making LM2576D2T-005G preferable for industrial environments demanding proven reliability and ease of qualification.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2576D2T-005G?
The LM2576D2T-005G has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 45 V, with recommended operating range of 7.0 V to 40 V. Exceeding 45 V risks permanent damage. For reliable 3.0 A operation at high ambient temperatures, input voltage should remain ≤40 V to maintain thermal margin within the D2PAK package's capabilities.
Does LM2576D2T-005G require external feedback resistors?
No. The LM2576D2T-005G is a fixed 5.0 V output variant - its feedback network is fully internal. Pin 4 (Feedback) is internally connected to the 5.0 V output and must be left unconnected or tied to ground per onsemi layout recommendations; adding external resistors will disrupt regulation.
What is the thermal performance of LM2576D2T-005G in its D2PAK package?
The LM2576D2T-005G in D2PAK (Case 936A) has a junction-to-case thermal resistance of 5.0 °C/W and junction-to-ambient of 70 °C/W. With proper heatsinking via the exposed tab (Pin 3), it sustains 3.0 A continuous output at +85 °C ambient; derating is required above that temperature without forced air or enhanced copper.
Can LM2576D2T-005G be used in battery-powered applications?
Yes - the LM2576D2T-005G supports input as low as 7.0 V, making it suitable for 12 V sealed lead-acid or multi-cell Li-ion battery systems. Its 80 µA standby current in shutdown mode (ON/OFF pin high) enables ultra-low quiescent drain, preserving battery life during sleep states in portable or remote equipment.
What type of catch diode is recommended for LM2576D2T-005G?
onsemi recommends Schottky diodes such as MBR360 (60 V, 3 A) or 1N5822 for the LM2576D2T-005G. These provide low forward voltage (~0.5 V), fast recovery, and adequate surge current rating. The diode's reverse voltage rating must exceed the maximum input voltage by ≥25%, and its average current rating should be ≥1.2× the load current.
