Product details
Overview
LM2576SX-5.0/J7001717 from Texas Instruments is a monolithic 3-A non-synchronous step-down DC-DC regulator in TO-263 (DDPAK) package, delivering fixed 5.0 V output with ±4% tolerance across line and load, 40 V max input voltage, and 52 kHz fixed-frequency operation. It serves as a high-efficiency replacement for linear regulators in industrial power supplies, motor drives, and test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the LM2576SX-5.0/J7001717 datasheet, LM2576SX-5.0/J7001717 pinout, LM2576SX-5.0/J7001717 application, or LM2576SX-5.0/J7001717 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3-A continuous output capability, integrated cycle-by-cycle current limiting, thermal shutdown protection, TTL-compatible ON/OFF control, and compatibility with standard off-the-shelf inductors.
Technical Context
The LM2576SX-5.0/J7001717 implements a fixed-frequency buck topology with internal 52 kHz oscillator, built-in 3-A NPN switch, and voltage-mode error amplifier referenced to a 1.23 V bandgap. Its feedback pin is internally connected to the output for fixed-voltage versions, eliminating external resistor dividers.
It operates in active mode when ON/OFF pin voltage drops below 1.2 V, enters shutdown at >1.4 V with 50 μA standby current, and features cycle-by-cycle current limiting (ICL = 4.2–6.9 A), thermal shutdown, and automatic frequency foldback (~11 kHz) during overload or short-circuit conditions.
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) |
| Input Voltage Range | 4 V to 40 V - supports wide-input industrial rails; minimum start-up voltage ~8 V |
| Continuous Output Current | 3 A - sustained DC load capability without derating under proper thermal management |
| Switching Frequency | 52 kHz (±10%) - enables use of low-cost, high-saturation-current inductors and reduces EMI filtering complexity |
| Efficiency | 77% at VIN = 12 V, IOUT = 3 A - significantly reduces heat sink requirements vs. linear regulators |
| Standby Current | 50 μA typical - enables low-power system-level shutdown with minimal battery drain |
| Thermal Resistance (θJA) | 42.6°C/W (KTT package, JEDEC 4-layer board) - requires ≥1.6 in² copper pour for full 3-A operation at +125°C ambient |
Pinout & Package
LM2576SX-5.0/J7001717 uses the KTT (DDPAK/TO-263-5) surface-mount package with 10.16 mm × 8.42 mm body size and thermally enhanced exposed tab connected to GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VIN | Power input | Connects to high-side transistor collector; must be decoupled with low-ESR capacitor placed <2 mm from pin |
| 2 - OUTPUT | Switching node | Emitter of internal NPN switch; connects directly to inductor and catch diode cathode - critical high-dI/dt path |
| 3 - GROUND | Power and signal reference | Low-impedance return for VIN bypass, feedback, and ON/OFF; shortest possible trace to CIN ground |
| 4 - FEEDBACK | Regulation sense | Internally tied to output for fixed 5-V version; no external divider required - simplifies layout and improves stability |
| 5 - ON/OFF | Enable control | TTL-compatible logic input: <1.2 V = active, >1.4 V = shutdown; 50 μA standby draw when pulled high |
| TAB | Thermal & electrical connection | Internally connected to GND; must be soldered to ≥1 in² PCB copper area for thermal performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 3-A NPN power switch | Eliminates need for external MOSFET and gate driver; reduces BOM count and layout complexity |
| Cycle-by-cycle current limiting | Protects against short-circuit and overload without latch-up; maintains regulation during transient overloads |
| Fixed 52-kHz oscillator | Enables predictable EMI profile and consistent inductor sizing; avoids variable-frequency noise spread |
| TTL-compatible ON/OFF control | Allows direct interfacing with microcontrollers or logic sequencers without level-shifting circuitry |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Shuts down at ~150°C junction, restarts after ~20°C cooldown - prevents thermal runaway in enclosed systems |
Applications
| Industrial Motor Drive Power Supply | Network Equipment DC-DC Conversion |

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-220-5 package (KC); higher θJA = 32.4°C/W; identical electrical specs and pinout | Better natural convection cooling in open-frame designs; requires mechanical mounting hardware | Select when forced-air cooling is unavailable and heatsink attachment is feasible |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LM2576SX-5.0/J7001717?
The LM2576SX-5.0/J7001717 has an absolute maximum input voltage of 45 V and a recommended maximum operating input voltage of 40 V. Exceeding 40 V continuously may reduce lifetime or trigger thermal shutdown; the HV variant (LM2576HV) supports up to 60 V but is not interchangeable with LM2576SX-5.0/J7001717.
Does LM2576SX-5.0/J7001717 require an external feedback resistor network?
No. The LM2576SX-5.0/J7001717 is a fixed-output version: its FEEDBACK pin is internally connected to the OUTPUT pin, so no external resistors are needed. This simplifies layout, improves regulation accuracy, and eliminates drift from resistor tolerance or temperature coefficients - a key advantage over adjustable variants like LM2576ADJ.
How does the ON/OFF pin function on LM2576SX-5.0/J7001717?
The ON/OFF pin on LM2576SX-5.0/J7001717 is TTL-compatible: pulling it below 1.2 V enables regulation, while pulling it above 1.4 V disables switching and reduces quiescent current to 50 μA typical. It must never be left floating - tie to GND for always-on operation or drive with MCU GPIO for controlled power sequencing.
What thermal management is required for full 3-A operation of LM2576SX-5.0/J7001717?
To sustain 3-A output at +125°C ambient, LM2576SX-5.0/J7001717 requires ≥1.6 in² of 2-oz copper connected to its exposed thermal tab. With 1 in² copper, θJA drops to 37°C/W; with <0.5 in², derating below 2 A is necessary. Thermal vias under the tab (≥6×0.3-mm) are mandatory to transfer heat to inner layers.
Can LM2576SX-5.0/J7001717 be used in synchronous rectification designs?
No. LM2576SX-5.0/J7001717 is a non-synchronous buck regulator with an internal NPN transistor and requires an external Schottky catch diode (e.g., 1N5822). It lacks gate-drive outputs for a synchronous MOSFET. For synchronous operation, consider TI's LM2596 or newer LMR33630 - both require different PCB layouts and control schemes.
