Product details
Overview
LM2577T-ADJ/J7002816 from Texas Instruments is a monolithic step-up (boost) switching voltage regulator IC featuring an integrated 3.0A NPN output switch, 52 kHz fixed-frequency oscillator, current-mode control, and adjustable output voltage via external feedback resistors. It operates from 3.5V to 40V input and delivers regulated outputs up to 60V in boost topology, commonly used in industrial power supplies and battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LM2577T-ADJ/J7002816 datasheet, LM2577T-ADJ/J7002816 pinout, LM2577T-ADJ/J7002816 application, or LM2577T-ADJ/J7002816 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package-specific pin functions, real-world application mappings, and validated alternative parts for design-in evaluation and BOM optimization.
Technical Context
The LM2577T-ADJ/J7002816 implements current-mode PWM control with internal error amplifier, 1.230 V reference voltage (±1.3% over temperature), and soft-start circuitry that limits in-rush current during startup. Its 52 kHz oscillator enables predictable loop response and simplifies EMI filtering.
It integrates undervoltage lockout (2.70–3.15 V threshold), thermal shutdown, and current limiting (3.7–6.0 A switch current range), with switch saturation voltage of 0.7–0.9 V at 2.0 A. The device supports boost, flyback, and forward converter topologies using minimal external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Topology | Adjustable step-up (boost) regulator - output voltage set externally via resistor divider; supports 1.23 V × (1 + R1/R2) configuration. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.5 V to 40 V - enables direct operation from 5 V, 12 V, or 24 V rails and compatibility with wide-range industrial inputs. |
| Switch Current Rating | 3.0 A continuous, 6.0 A peak - defines maximum inductor current handling before external current limiting is required in boost mode. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 52 kHz ±8% - fixed frequency simplifies filter design and ensures stable timing without external RC components. |
| Reference Voltage | 1.230 V ±1.3% (min/max over temp) - high-accuracy internal bandgap reference enabling precise output regulation across load and temperature. |
| Thermal Shutdown | Active at TJ ≥150°C - protects die during overload or poor heatsinking; auto-recovery after cooldown. |
| Soft-Start Time | ~10 ms typical - reduces input surge current and output overshoot during power-up, easing system-level stress testing. |
Pinout & Package
LM2577T-ADJ/J7002816 uses the TO-220-5 (T package, Package Number KC), with straight leads and exposed tab electrically connected to Pin 2 (Ground). Thermal resistance θJA = 65°C/W (standard PCB layout).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Input | Power input supply connection | Accepts 3.5–40 V DC; requires local 100 μF low-ESR capacitor for stability and transient suppression. |
| 2 - Ground | Power and signal reference node | Internally tied to exposed metal tab; must be soldered to large copper area for thermal management and noise reduction. |
| 3 - Feedback | Regulation sense input | Compares divided output voltage against 1.230 V reference; sets output as VOUT = 1.23 × (1 + R1/R2). |
| 4 - Output | Switch collector terminal | Drives external diode and inductor; switches between VIN and open-circuit; withstands up to 65 V off-state. |
| 5 - On/Off | Enable/disable control input | Logic-high (>2.0 V) enables regulator; logic-low (<1.2 V) disables switch and reduces quiescent current to ~7.5 mA. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 3.0A NPN switch | Eliminates need for external transistor and driver; reduces board space and component count in compact boost designs. |
| Current-mode control | Provides inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting, improves line/load transient response, and simplifies loop compensation. |
| 52 kHz fixed-frequency oscillator | Enables consistent EMI profile and predictable inductor sizing; avoids audible noise and eliminates external timing components. |
| Soft-start function | Gradually ramps output voltage over ~10 ms, preventing inrush into downstream capacitors and avoiding brownout on shared rails. |
| Undervoltage lockout (UVLO) | Prevents erratic startup below 2.70 V; ensures clean enable only when input is within valid operating range. |
| Thermal shutdown protection | Shuts down switch at junction temperature ≥150°C; prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar boost regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2577S-ADJ/NOPB | Same silicon, DDPAK/TO-263-5 (S package); θJA = 37°C/W with 1 in² copper - lower thermal resistance than TO-220. | Better suited for high-power-density or thermally constrained PCB layouts where heatsinking is limited. | Select LM2577S-ADJ/NOPB when thermal performance is critical and board space allows surface-mount assembly. |
| MC34063AP1G | 3.0 A switch, 100 kHz oscillator, 1.25 V reference; wider input range (3.0–40 V), but higher quiescent current (2.5 mA vs 7.5 mA). | Higher switching frequency enables smaller magnetics but increases EMI sensitivity; less accurate reference (±2% vs ±1.3%). | Choose MC34063AP1G when cost and inductor size are prioritized over precision and thermal efficiency. |
Compared with LM2577T-ADJ/J7002816, LM2577S-ADJ/NOPB offers superior thermal performance in compact layouts, while MC34063AP1G trades reference accuracy and quiescent current for higher frequency and broader vendor support - making each suitable for distinct thermal, precision, or sourcing constraints.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable operation of the LM2577T-ADJ/J7002816?
The LM2577T-ADJ/J7002816 requires a minimum input voltage of 3.5 V to ensure proper internal circuit biasing and undervoltage lockout release. Below this threshold, the device remains disabled; operation at 3.5 V is guaranteed across temperature and load conditions per the datasheet's operating ratings.
Can the LM2577T-ADJ/J7002816 be used in flyback topology, and what design changes are needed?
Yes, the LM2577T-ADJ/J7002816 supports flyback configuration per TI's Application Hints. Key changes include replacing the boost inductor with a flyback transformer, grounding the secondary winding's dot-end, and connecting the feedback network to the regulated secondary output - enabling isolated multiple-output designs.
What is the purpose of the On/Off pin (Pin 5) on the LM2577T-ADJ/J7002816, and how should it be interfaced?
Pin 5 is an active-high enable input: applying ≥2.0 V enables regulation; ≤1.2 V disables the switch and reduces quiescent current to ~7.5 mA. It can be driven directly by microcontroller GPIO or optocoupler output, with no pull-up required - internal biasing ensures defined state during reset.
How does the LM2577T-ADJ/J7002816 handle output short-circuit conditions?
The LM2577T-ADJ/J7002816 relies on its current-limit circuit (3.7–6.0 A) and thermal shutdown (150°C) for short-circuit protection. In sustained short, it cycles between current limit and thermal shutdown - not hiccup mode - so external current limiting or foldback may be needed for reliable fault recovery.
Is the LM2577T-ADJ/J7002816 RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, LM2577T-ADJ/J7002816 is RoHS-compliant and halogen-free per Texas Instruments' published environmental compliance documentation (SLMA001), with lead-free matte tin finish on TO-220 leads and compliant packaging materials.
