Product details
Overview
LM2576TV-3.3G from onsemi is a monolithic 3.0 A, 52 kHz fixed-frequency step-down (buck) switching regulator with fixed 3.3 V output, TO-220-5 package, ±4% output voltage tolerance over line/load/temperature, and integrated thermal shutdown and cycle-by-cycle current limiting. It delivers high-efficiency power conversion for industrial control rails and embedded system main supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LM2576TV-3.3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, confirmed alternative parts with documented differences, and supply-chain-ready availability details - all grounded in the official ON Semiconductor LM2576/D Rev. 11 datasheet.
Technical Context
The LM2576TV-3.3G implements a voltage-mode controlled buck topology with an internal 52 kHz oscillator, 1.235 V bandgap reference, and error amplifier driving a 1.0 A NPN switch. Its feedback loop uses a fixed internal resistor divider for 3.3 V regulation, eliminating external programming components.
It features TTL-compatible ON/OFF control (1.4 V threshold), 80 µA standby quiescent current, and protection circuitry including thermal shutdown and peak current limiting (typ. 5.8 A at 25 °C). The device operates across −40 °C to +125 °C junction temperature with input voltage range 7.0–40 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±4% (3.135–3.465 V) over full load and temperature - ensures stable logic rail compliance for 3.3 V microcontrollers and FPGAs. |
| Max Output Current | 3.0 A continuous - supports mid-power applications like sensor hubs or communication modules without external current boosting. |
| Input Voltage Range | 7.0 V to 40 V - accommodates wide-input industrial DC sources (e.g., 12 V/24 V battery or unregulated wall adapters). |
| Switching Frequency | 52 kHz (±10% over temp) - enables use of low-cost, standard off-the-shelf inductors (e.g., Pulse PE-92108) and simplifies EMI filtering. |
| Efficiency | 75% at 12 VIN/3.0 AOUT - reduces thermal load vs. linear regulators, often eliminating need for heatsink in moderate ambient conditions. |
| Quiescent Current | 5.0–9.0 mA active, 80 µA in shutdown - enables low-power standby modes in battery-backed systems. |
| Protection Features | Thermal shutdown + cycle-by-cycle current limit - prevents damage during overload, short-circuit, or inadequate heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
LM2576TV-3.3G uses the TO-220-5 package (Case 314B), with heatsink surface electrically connected to Pin 3 (GND). The package is Pb-free and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Vin | Positive input supply | Accepts 7–40 V unregulated DC; requires local 100 µF low-ESR input capacitor to suppress switching transients. |
| 2 - Output | Emitter of internal NPN switch | Delivers regulated 3.3 V; saturation voltage ≤1.8 V at 3 A - impacts dropout and efficiency at low VIN. |
| 3 - GND | Circuit ground reference | Common return for input/output capacitors, diode cathode, and heatsink; must be single-point grounded per layout guidelines. |
| 4 - Feedback | Regulation sense node | Internally tied to fixed 3.3 V divider; not accessible externally - eliminates tuning but guarantees accuracy and stability. |
| 5 - ON/OFF | TTL-compatible enable/disable control | Logic-high (>2.2 V) disables regulator, dropping IQ to 80 µA; open or logic-low (<1.0 V) enables operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 3.3 V output | Eliminates external feedback resistors - reduces BOM count, PCB area, and calibration risk for standard logic supply rails. |
| 52 kHz fixed oscillator | Enables predictable EMI spectrum and compatibility with low-cost, widely available 100 µH power inductors. |
| Integrated current limit & thermal shutdown | Provides autonomous fault recovery without external sensing - critical for unattended industrial equipment. |
| TTL shutdown capability | Allows direct interfacing with microcontroller GPIOs for power sequencing and sleep/wake control. |
| Requires only 4 external components | Minimizes design time and validation effort: input cap, output cap, catch diode (e.g., MBR360), and inductor. |

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 | Same electrical specs and pinout; differs only in RoHS-compliance marking and tape-and-reel packaging - no functional difference. | Identical use cases; suitable for legacy designs requiring identical form-fit-function. | Select LM2576T-3.3 when sourcing from distributors with older inventory or specific packaging requirements (e.g., bulk vs. tape). |
| MP1584EN-LF-Z | Higher switching frequency (1.5 MHz), smaller solution size, but lower max current (3 A typ. derated), and no integrated thermal shutdown latch. | Better suited for space-constrained consumer devices; less robust for sustained industrial overloads. | Choose MP1584EN-LF-Z only if PCB area is critical and thermal margin is verified - not a drop-in replacement due to different compensation and layout needs. |
Compared with LM2576T-3.3, the LM2576TV-3.3G offers identical performance with updated Pb-free marking; versus MP1584EN-LF-Z, it trades higher-frequency compactness for proven ruggedness, simpler magnetics, and autonomous fault recovery - making it preferable for industrial and medical applications demanding long-term reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LM2576TV-3.3G?
The LM2576TV-3.3G has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 45 V, but its recommended operating input voltage range is 7.0 V to 40 V. Operation above 40 V risks exceeding safe power dissipation limits, especially at high load currents or elevated ambient temperatures. The device's internal current limit and thermal shutdown provide protection, but sustained operation near 45 V is not advised per the datasheet's operating ratings.
Does the LM2576TV-3.3G require an external feedback resistor network?
No, the LM2576TV-3.3G does not require external feedback resistors. It integrates a precise internal resistor divider optimized for 3.3 V output, referenced to the 1.235 V bandgap. Pin 4 (Feedback) is internally connected and inaccessible - unlike the adjustable LM2576-ADJ version, which requires external R1/R2. This simplifies layout and improves output voltage accuracy and stability.
Can the LM2576TV-3.3G be used in a negative-output (buck-boost) configuration?
Yes, the LM2576TV-3.3G can be configured as a positive-to-negative converter (inverting buck-boost) per Figure 1 in the datasheet. In this topology, the output is referenced to VIN rather than GND, producing a regulated −3.3 V rail. However, the feedback pin remains tied to the negative output, and the ground pin becomes the negative output terminal - requiring careful PCB isolation and layout adherence to the datasheet's inverting application notes.
What is the thermal resistance (junction-to-case) for the LM2576TV-3.3G TO-220 package?
The LM2576TV-3.3G in the TO-220-5 package (Case 314B) has a specified thermal resistance of RJC = 5.0 °C/W. This value assumes proper mechanical mounting of the heatsink surface (Pin 3) to an external heatsink. The junction-to-ambient resistance is 65 °C/W without heatsink, underscoring the importance of thermal management for continuous 3.0 A operation at elevated ambient temperatures.
Is the LM2576TV-3.3G pin-compatible with other LM2576 fixed-output variants?
Yes, all LM2576 fixed-output versions (e.g., LM2576TV-5.0G, LM2576TV-12G) share identical TO-220-5 pinout, electrical architecture, and package dimensions. Only the internal feedback divider differs - meaning PCB layouts designed for LM2576TV-3.3G can accommodate other fixed-output variants without modification, provided input/output capacitor and inductor values are re-verified for the new voltage/current requirements.
