Product details
Overview
LM2576HVT-3.3/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a non-synchronous step-down DC-DC converter IC delivering 3-A output at fixed 3.3 V, with 40–60 V input range, 52-kHz fixed-frequency operation, and integrated thermal shutdown and cycle-by-cycle current limiting-used in industrial power supplies and motor drive auxiliary rails.
For engineers reviewing the LM2576HVT-3.3/NOPB datasheet, LM2576HVT-3.3/NOPB pinout, LM2576HVT-3.3/NOPB application, or LM2576HVT-3.3/NOPB equivalent, key selection considerations include HV input capability (60 V max), TO-220/KC package thermal performance (RθJA = 32.4°C/W), ±4% output voltage tolerance over line/load/temperature, and TTL-compatible ON/OFF control with 50-μA standby current.
Technical Context
The LM2576HVT-3.3/NOPB implements a buck topology using an internal NPN power transistor switch, fixed 52-kHz oscillator, and voltage-mode error amplifier with 1.23-V internal reference. It operates in continuous conduction mode under full load and transitions to discontinuous mode at light loads without regulation loss.
Its functional block includes undervoltage lockout (UVLO) activation above ~4.5 V input, cycle-by-cycle peak current limiting (ICL = 4.2–6.9 A), and thermal shutdown triggered at TJ ≥ 150°C. The ON/OFF pin enables active low logic control with 1.2-V threshold for turn-on and 1.4-V threshold for shutdown.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±4% over −40°C to +125°C, 6–60 V input, 0.5–3 A load-ensures stable logic rail generation without external feedback resistors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 40 V (min) to 60 V (max)-supports wide-input industrial and automotive battery-fed systems where transient spikes exceed 40 V. |
| Output Current | 3 A DC continuous-sufficient to power microcontrollers, FPGAs, and peripheral ICs without external current boosting. |
| Switching Frequency | 52 kHz ±10% (42–63 kHz)-enables use of low-cost, high-saturation-current inductors and reduces EMI filtering complexity vs. MHz-range converters. |
| Efficiency | 75% typical at 12 VIN, 3 A, 3.3 VOUT-reduces heat sink requirements compared to linear regulators; no heatsink needed below ~1.5 W dissipation. |
| Standby Current | 50 μA typical at ON/OFF = 5 V-enables low-power system sleep modes while retaining fast wake-up capability. |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 32.4°C/W (KC/TO-220 package)-defines maximum power dissipation (≈3.1 W at ΔT = 100°C) before thermal shutdown activates. |
Pinout & Package
KC package: 5-pin TO-220 with integral heat tab connected to GROUND; body size 10.16 mm × 8.51 mm; tab serves as thermal and electrical ground path.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VIN | High-side switch collector input | Accepts 40–60 V unregulated DC; requires short-path, low-ESR input capacitor (≥100 μF) to minimize switching noise injection. |
| 2 - OUTPUT | Switch emitter node | Drives external inductor and catch diode; high dv/dt node requiring tight layout to reduce EMI and prevent false triggering. |
| 3 - GROUND | Power and signal reference | Low-impedance return path for VIN bypass, feedback, and ON/OFF circuits; must be tied directly to tab and PCB ground plane. |
| 4 - FEEDBACK | Regulation sense input | Internally connected to 3.3 V output; left unconnected in fixed versions-no external resistor divider required. |
| 5 - ON/OFF | Enable/disable control | TTL-compatible input: <1.2 V = active, >1.4 V = shutdown; 50-μA standby draw allows direct MCU GPIO control without level shifting. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated thermal shutdown | Activates at TJ = 150°C and auto-recovers after cooldown-eliminates need for external thermal monitoring in sealed enclosures. |
| Cycle-by-cycle current limiting | Peak ISW limit of 4.2–6.9 A prevents inductor saturation and MOSFET failure during output shorts or startup surges. |
| Fixed 3.3-V output | No external feedback components required-reduces BOM count, layout area, and calibration risk for standard logic supply rails. |
| Wide input range (60 V max) | Supports 48-V industrial buses, automotive cold-crank transients, and PoE-powered equipment without pre-regulation. |
| 52-kHz oscillator | Enables use of low-cost, high-current toroidal inductors (e.g., 33–100 μH) with minimal core loss and audible noise. |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drive Auxiliary Power | 48-V Telecom Server PSU |

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-3.3/NOPB | Max input voltage 40 V (vs. 60 V); identical pinout, package, and 3.3-V output spec. | Suitable only for ≤40 V input systems; cannot withstand 48-V bus transients or automotive load dump. | Select when input never exceeds 40 V and cost sensitivity outweighs HV margin. |
| LM76003QRNLRQ1 | Synchronous 3.5-A buck with 3.5–60 V input, 2.2-MHz switching, and integrated high-/low-side MOSFETs. | Requires no external diode; higher efficiency (>90%) but needs more complex layout and external compensation. | Choose for space-constrained designs needing >85% efficiency and smaller magnetics-requires redesign of inductor and loop compensation. |
Compared with LM2576HVT-3.3/NOPB, LM2576T-3.3/NOPB trades HV robustness for lower cost in benign-input environments, while LM76003QRNLRQ1 delivers higher efficiency and integration at the expense of design simplicity and external component count.

FAQ
What is the absolute maximum input voltage rating for LM2576HVT-3.3/NOPB?
The absolute maximum input voltage for LM2576HVT-3.3/NOPB is 63 V, as specified in Section 6.1 of the TI datasheet SNVS107G. Operation above 60 V violates recommended conditions and risks permanent damage. The device is rated for continuous operation up to 60 V, making it suitable for 48-V systems with transient headroom.
Does LM2576HVT-3.3/NOPB require external feedback resistors to set the output voltage?
No, LM2576HVT-3.3/NOPB does not require external feedback resistors. As a fixed-output variant, its 3.3-V regulation is implemented internally-the FEEDBACK pin (Pin 4) is internally connected to the output and must be left unconnected in PCB layout. This eliminates resistor tolerance errors and simplifies design validation.
Can LM2576HVT-3.3/NOPB be used in synchronous rectification configurations?
No, LM2576HVT-3.3/NOPB is a non-synchronous buck converter and does not support synchronous rectification. It uses an internal NPN switch and requires an external Schottky catch diode (e.g., 1N5822). Synchronous operation would require replacing the diode with a second MOSFET and adding gate drive timing-functionality not supported by this IC's architecture.
What thermal derating applies to LM2576HVT-3.3/NOPB in a TO-220 package without a heatsink?
In free-air convection (no heatsink), LM2576HVT-3.3/NOPB's KC package has RθJA = 32.4°C/W. At 25°C ambient, maximum continuous power dissipation before thermal shutdown is ≈3.1 W. For 3-A output at 3.3 V with 12 V input, dissipation is ~26 W-so a heatsink or forced airflow is mandatory; standalone operation is only viable below ~1.2 A load.
How does the ON/OFF pin function on LM2576HVT-3.3/NOPB, and what logic levels enable operation?
The ON/OFF pin (Pin 5) is an active-low enable input. LM2576HVT-3.3/NOPB operates when the pin voltage is <1.2 V (typical), and enters 50-μA standby mode when >1.4 V (typical). It accepts direct connection to MCU GPIOs-no level shifter needed-and must never be left floating to prevent erratic behavior.
