Product details
Overview
LM2576D2T-ADJG from onsemi is a monolithic 3.0 A, 52 kHz step-down (buck) switching regulator IC with adjustable output voltage (1.23 V to 37 V), ±4% output voltage tolerance over line/load/temperature, and integrated thermal shutdown and cycle-by-cycle current limiting. It operates from 7.0 V to 40 V input and delivers high efficiency-up to 77% at 12 VIN/5 VOUT/3 A-enabling compact, heatsink-free power supplies in industrial control and embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM2576D2T-ADJG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its D2PAK (TO-263) package with exposed thermal pad, feedback reference voltage of 1.23 V (±2% over 0 °C to 125 °C), 80 µA typical standby current under TTL shutdown, and compatibility with standard off-the-shelf 100 µH inductors.
Technical Context
The LM2576D2T-ADJG implements a fixed-frequency (52 kHz) voltage-mode buck controller with an internal 1.23 V bandgap reference, error amplifier, PWM comparator, and 3.0 A NPN switch. Its oscillator frequency shifts to ~18 kHz during overload or short-circuit events to reduce average power dissipation.
Feedback is sensed directly at Pin 4 (no internal divider), enabling precise external resistor programming of output voltage. The ON/OFF pin (Pin 5) accepts TTL-compatible logic signals (VIL ≤ 1.0 V, VIH ≥ 2.2 V at TJ = 25 °C) for low-quiescent-current shutdown mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | Guaranteed 3.0 A continuous load current-supports high-power microcontroller or FPGA core rails without external current boosting. |
| Input Voltage Range | 7.0 V to 40 V DC-enables direct operation from 12 V/24 V industrial buses or unregulated AC-DC outputs. |
| Feedback Reference | 1.23 V ±2% (0 °C to 125 °C)-sets output accuracy baseline; used with external R1/R2 to program 1.23–37 V output range. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 52 kHz ±10% (typical), 42–63 kHz over −40 °C to +125 °C-fixed frequency simplifies EMI filtering and inductor selection. |
| Standby Quiescent Current | 80 µA typical at 25 °C when ON/OFF pin = 5 V-enables ultra-low-power sleep modes in battery-backed systems. |
| Saturation Voltage | 1.5 V typical at IOUT = 3.0 A-defines minimum dropout (VIN − VOUT) and conduction loss in high-current operation. |
| Current Limit Threshold | 4.2–6.9 A peak (25 °C), 3.5–7.5 A (−40 °C to +125 °C)-provides robust short-circuit protection without external sensing. |
Pinout & Package
D2PAK (TO-263-5) package with exposed thermal pad connected to Pin 3 (GND); requires PCB copper pour for thermal management per datasheet Case 936A outline.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Vin | Positive input supply | Accepts 7–40 V unregulated DC; requires local 100 µF low-ESR aluminum electrolytic bypass capacitor. |
| 2 - Output | Emitter of internal NPN switch | Switching node driving inductor; PCB trace area must be minimized to reduce EMI coupling to sensitive circuits. |
| 3 - GND | Circuit ground reference | Common return for input/output capacitors, feedback network, and thermal pad; single-point grounding recommended. |
| 4 - Feedback | Error amplifier non-inverting input | Direct connection to external R1/R2 divider; senses output voltage to regulate VOUT = 1.23 × (1 + R2/R1). |
| 5 - ON/OFF | TTL-compatible enable/disable control | Logic-high (>2.2 V) disables regulator and reduces IQ to 80 µA; open or logic-low (<1.0 V) enables operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable output voltage range | 1.23 V to 37 V via two external resistors-eliminates need for multiple fixed-voltage SKUs in multi-rail designs. |
| Integrated protection | Cycle-by-cycle current limiting + thermal shutdown-prevents damage during sustained overload or ambient temperature excursions. |
| Low-component-count design | Requires only 4 external components (inductor, catch diode, input/output capacitors)-reduces BOM cost and layout complexity. |
| Standard inductor compatibility | Optimized for widely available 100 µH pulse inductors (e.g., Pulse PE-92108)-accelerates prototyping and avoids custom magnetics. |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level | MSL 1 (unlimited floor life at ≤30 °C/60% RH)-simplifies handling and eliminates bake requirements before reflow. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drive Power Supply | Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) I/O Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2596S-ADJ | Higher 63 kHz switching frequency; lower 1.23 V reference tolerance (±1.5%); 3.0 A rated but derated above 85 °C junction. | Better suited for space-constrained designs requiring smaller inductors; less thermally robust in sealed enclosures above 70 °C ambient. | Select LM2596S-ADJ if board area is critical and thermal margin exceeds 20 °C; otherwise LM2576D2T-ADJG offers superior thermal reliability. |
| MP1584EN-LF-Z | 4.5–28 V input range; 3 A output; 1.22 V reference; requires external compensation; no integrated thermal shutdown latch. | Designed for consumer-grade applications; lacks automotive-grade transient immunity and failsafe protection features. | Choose MP1584EN-LF-Z only for cost-sensitive, non-safety-critical applications with narrow input range; LM2576D2T-ADJG provides broader input, rugged protection, and industrial qualification. |
Compared with LM2596S-ADJ and MP1584EN-LF-Z, LM2576D2T-ADJG delivers wider input voltage range (7–40 V), guaranteed 3.0 A performance across −40 °C to +125 °C, and integrated thermal shutdown latching-making it preferred for industrial, medical, and automotive-adjacent power systems where reliability trumps minimal footprint.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2576D2T-ADJG?
The LM2576D2T-ADJG has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 45 V, with recommended operating range of 7.0 V to 40 V. Exceeding 45 V may cause permanent damage. For automotive applications subject to load dump transients, the 40 V operating limit ensures safe operation under ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a conditions when combined with appropriate front-end clamping.
How do I calculate the output voltage for LM2576D2T-ADJG?
The output voltage of LM2576D2T-ADJG is set by two external resistors: VOUT = 1.23 V × (1 + R2/R1). R1 is typically 1.0 kΩ to 5.0 kΩ; R2 is selected accordingly. For example, to achieve 12 V output, use R1 = 1.2 kΩ and R2 = 10.5 kΩ. The feedback pin draws only 25–200 nA, minimizing resistor-divider power loss and voltage error.
Does LM2576D2T-ADJG require a heatsink in typical operation?
LM2576D2T-ADJG can operate without an external heatsink at full 3.0 A load when ambient temperature is ≤50 °C and PCB thermal design includes ≥4 cm² of 2-oz copper connected to the exposed thermal pad (Pin 3). At higher ambient or continuous high-duty-cycle operation, a small heatsink improves thermal margin-junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 70 °C/W in D2PAK package.
What type of catch diode is recommended for LM2576D2T-ADJG?
A Schottky diode with ≥3.0 A average current rating and ≥40 V reverse voltage is recommended for LM2576D2T-ADJG. The datasheet specifies MBR360 (40 V, 3.0 A) as optimal. Using fast-recovery diodes like MUR420 increases switching losses and reduces efficiency by ~3–5%; Schottky selection minimizes forward voltage drop and recovery losses.
Is LM2576D2T-ADJG RoHS and REACH compliant?
Yes, LM2576D2T-ADJG is Pb-free and RoHS-compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU, and meets REACH SVHC requirements. The "G" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes green (halogen-free, lead-free) packaging per onsemi's product marking convention and datasheet footnote on page 1.
