Product details
Overview
LM2576HVT-5.0/LF02 from Texas Instruments is a non-synchronous 3-A step-down DC-DC switching regulator in TO-220-5 (KC) package, delivering fixed 5.0 V output with ±4% tolerance over line and load, supporting 8–60 V input range, and featuring 52-kHz fixed-frequency operation, TTL-compatible ON/OFF control, and cycle-by-cycle current limiting for motor drives and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LM2576HVT-5.0/LF02 datasheet, LM2576HVT-5.0/LF02 pinout, LM2576HVT-5.0/LF02 application, or LM2576HVT-5.0/LF02 equivalent, key selection considerations include HV input rating (60 V max), thermal performance in TO-220 package (RθJA = 32.4°C/W), shutdown quiescent current (50 µA typ), output saturation voltage (1.8 V max at 3 A), and compatibility with standard off-the-shelf inductors.
Technical Context
The LM2576HVT-5.0/LF02 integrates a high-side NPN switch, fixed-frequency oscillator, error amplifier, and thermal shutdown circuit in a monolithic buck topology. It operates in continuous conduction mode under full load and transitions to discontinuous mode at light loads without regulation loss.
Its feedback loop uses an internal 1.23-V reference with 100-nA bias current; the fixed 5.0-V version connects the FEEDBACK pin directly to the output capacitor. The ON/OFF pin enables active low logic control with 1.2-V threshold for activation and 1.4-V threshold for shutdown.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0 V ±4% over full operating temperature (−40°C to +125°C) and load (0.5–3 A), enabling stable logic supply without external resistor divider. |
| Input Voltage Range | 8 V to 60 V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive battery-fed systems where transient spikes exceed 40 V. |
| Output Current | 3 A DC continuous - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, sensors, and peripheral ICs without external current boosting. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 52 kHz ±10% - enables use of low-cost, high-saturation-current inductors and reduces EMI filtering complexity vs. MHz-range converters. |
| Saturation Voltage | 1.8 V max at 3 A - defines minimum dropout: requires ≥6.8 V input to sustain 5 V/3 A output under worst-case conditions. |
| Standby Current | 50 µA typical at ON/OFF = HIGH - allows ultra-low-power system sleep modes without auxiliary LDOs. |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 32.4°C/W (KC package) - mandates minimal heatsinking for ≤2 W dissipation at ambient 50°C. |
Pinout & Package
LM2576HVT-5.0/LF02 is housed in a 5-pin TO-220 (KC) package with exposed tab electrically connected to GROUND for thermal and electrical integrity. Mounting requires mechanical fastening and thermal interface to heatsink.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VIN | High-side switch collector input | Primary DC input path; must connect to low-ESR input capacitor with shortest possible trace to minimize switching noise and voltage spikes. |
| 2 - OUTPUT | Switch emitter output node | High-frequency switching node; connects directly to inductor and catch diode cathode - critical for EMI layout and snubber placement. |
| 3 - GROUND | Power and signal reference | Common return for input cap, output cap, and feedback network; requires low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce during switching. |
| 4 - FEEDBACK | Regulation sense input | Internally tied to 5.0-V output in fixed version; left unconnected externally - removal invalidates regulation accuracy. |
| 5 - ON/OFF | Enable/disable logic input | Active-low TTL-compatible control; pulled low to enable, >1.4 V to disable; floating state causes undefined operation. |
| TAB | Thermal and electrical ground | Exposed metal tab bonded to GROUND; must be soldered to large copper pour or heatsink to achieve rated RθJA. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 5.0-V output | Eliminates external feedback resistors, reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity while ensuring ±4% regulation across temperature and load. |
| 60-V maximum input | Supports 48-V industrial bus, 36-V automotive transients, and unregulated AC/DC front-ends without pre-regulation stages. |
| Cycle-by-cycle current limit | Protects internal switch and external components during short-circuit or overload events without latch-up, enabling self-recovery operation. |
| 52-kHz fixed-frequency oscillator | Enables predictable EMI spectrum placement and simplifies filter design using standard low-frequency magnetics. |
| TTL-compatible ON/OFF control | Allows direct interfacing with microcontroller GPIOs or system power sequencers without level-shifting circuitry. |

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 | Standard-voltage version (40 V max input); identical pinout, package, and 5-V output spec. | Not suitable for >40 V input rails; lower thermal margin in TO-220 due to reduced max input headroom. | Select only when input never exceeds 40 V and cost sensitivity outweighs transient robustness. |
| LM2596T-5.0 | Higher 150-kHz switching frequency; smaller external components; 40 V max input; different pinout (no ON/OFF pin). | Lacks enable control and HV rating; requires PCB redesign; better for space-constrained consumer designs. | Choose when board area is critical and input stays ≤40 V; avoid if system-level shutdown sequencing or 48-V compatibility is required. |
Compared with LM2576T-5.0, LM2576HVT-5.0/LF02 adds 20 V input headroom and enhanced transient immunity; compared with LM2596T-5.0, it trades higher frequency for proven ruggedness, enable functionality, and drop-in replacement in legacy TO-220 layouts.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2576HVT-5.0/LF02?
The LM2576HVT-5.0/LF02 supports a maximum input voltage of 60 V, verified per Absolute Maximum Ratings in the TI datasheet SNVS107G. This HV rating distinguishes it from the standard LM2576 (40 V max) and enables use in 48-V systems with transient margins. Exceeding 60 V risks permanent damage to the internal switch.
Does LM2576HVT-5.0/LF02 require external feedback resistors?
No, LM2576HVT-5.0/LF02 is a fixed 5.0-V output variant - its internal feedback divider is factory-trimmed, and the FEEDBACK pin is internally connected to the output. External resistors are unnecessary and must not be added, as they would disrupt regulation accuracy and stability.
What thermal performance can be expected from LM2576HVT-5.0/LF02 in TO-220 package?
In the KC (TO-220-5) package, LM2576HVT-5.0/LF02 has RθJA = 32.4°C/W with JEDEC-standard 4-layer board. With proper heatsinking via the grounded tab, it delivers full 3-A output up to +50°C ambient. Without heatsink, continuous 3-A operation is limited to ~35°C ambient per thermal calculations.
How does the ON/OFF pin function on LM2576HVT-5.0/LF02?
The ON/OFF pin on LM2576HVT-5.0/LF02 is TTL-compatible and active-low: ≤1.2 V enables regulation; ≥1.4 V disables it, reducing quiescent current to 50 µA typical. It must never be left floating - tie to GND via 10-kΩ resistor for default-on operation or drive actively from a controller GPIO.
Is LM2576HVT-5.0/LF02 pin-compatible with other LM2576 variants?
Yes, LM2576HVT-5.0/LF02 shares identical 5-pin TO-220 (KC) and DDPAK (KTT) footprints and pin functions with all LM2576xx family members, including LM2576-5.0 and LM2576HV-5.0. This allows direct substitution in existing layouts when upgrading to 60-V input capability without PCB revision.
