Product details
Overview
MIC4575-5.0WU-TR from Microchip Technology is a fixed-output 5.0V, 1A synchronous step-down (buck) DC-DC regulator in a 5-lead DDPAK package, operating at 200 kHz with ±3% output voltage accuracy over 8–24V input and full load range, used in embedded power supplies for microprocessors and industrial control modules.
For engineers reviewing the MIC4575-5.0WU-TR datasheet, MIC4575-5.0WU-TR pinout, MIC4575-5.0WU-TR application, or MIC4575-5.0WU-TR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal performance data, shutdown behavior, feedback tolerance, and real-world buck converter design constraints - all confirmed for the exact MIC4575-5.0WU-TR variant.
Technical Context
The MIC4575-5.0WU-TR integrates a BiCMOS NPN power switch with internal 1.23V bandgap reference and fixed-gain error amplifier, enabling variable-duty-cycle PWM control at 200 kHz (±10%). Its cycle-by-cycle current limiting and thermal shutdown protect against overload and junction overheating up to +150°C.
It requires no external compensation, supports TTL-compatible shutdown (logic low enables), and delivers 77% typical efficiency at 1A/5V output from 12V input. The fixed 5.0V version connects FB directly to VOUT, eliminating external resistors while maintaining ±3% regulation across line and load conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5.0V ±3% (guaranteed over 8–24V VIN, 0.1–0.5A load; ±2.5% over full 1A range) |
| Switching Frequency | 200 kHz ±10% - enables ~2× smaller inductors vs. LM2575 (52 kHz), reducing board area and cost |
| Max Output Current | 1A continuous - supported by internal 2.2A peak current limit and 2°C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance |
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 24V - compatible with 12V/24V industrial rails and battery-backed systems |
| Shutdown Current | <200 µA - allows ultra-low-power standby in always-on applications without auxiliary LDO |
| Efficiency | 77% typical at 1A/5V output from 12V input - reduces thermal load vs. linear regulators in high-current 5V domains |
| Thermal Protection | Internal thermal shutdown at TJ ≥ +150°C - prevents permanent damage during sustained overload or poor heatsinking |
Pinout & Package
Package: 5-lead DDPAK (TO-263), surface-mount, thermally enhanced with exposed tab (Pin 3/TAB = GND). Compatible with standard reflow profiles and offers 2°C/W θJC for direct heatsink attachment.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VIN) | Unregulated Input Supply | Accepts 4–24V DC; must be decoupled with ≥22µF ceramic or low-ESR electrolytic near pin |
| 2 (SW) | Power Switch Output | Drives external inductor; high di/dt node requiring short, wide PCB trace and local Schottky catch diode |
| 3 / TAB (GND) | Power and Signal Ground | Common return for switch, feedback, and shutdown; exposed tab must be soldered to large copper pour for thermal conduction |
| 4 (FB) | Feedback Input | Internally connected to 5V divider; short directly to output for fixed regulation - no external resistors needed |
| 5 (SHDN) | Enable/Shutdown Control | TTL-compatible input; ≤0.8V enables regulator, ≥2.4V disables it - pull-down resistor required if unused |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fixed 5.0V output with no external feedback components | Eliminates resistor selection errors and layout sensitivity - simplifies BOM and improves production yield |
| 200 kHz switching frequency | Enables use of 68 µH inductors (vs. 150+ µH for 52 kHz parts), cutting filter size and cost by ~50% |
| Integrated cycle-by-cycle current limit | Guarantees safe 1A operation without external sense resistors or protection ICs |
| Thermal shutdown with 100% burn-in screening | Ensures reliability in sealed enclosures or high-ambient environments without derating calculations |
| DDPAK package with low θJC (2°C/W) | Supports >1A continuous operation on 2-layer boards with minimal copper area - no external heatsink required |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2575HVS-5.0 | 52 kHz operation, TO-220 only, ±4% output tolerance, higher quiescent current (5.5 mA) | Requires larger inductor (150–220 µH); less suitable for space-constrained designs | Choose when legacy LM2575 compatibility is mandatory and board area is not constrained |
| MP1584EN-LF-Z | 1.5 MHz switching, SOIC-8, ±2% output tolerance, integrated high-side MOSFET, 3A capability | Needs external compensation; higher EMI risk without proper layout; supports higher current | Choose for compact 3A designs where 1.5 MHz allows tiny 4.7 µH inductors and ceramic output caps |
Compared with LM2575HVS-5.0, MIC4575-5.0WU-TR delivers tighter regulation and 4× faster switching in a surface-mount package; compared with MP1584EN-LF-Z, it offers simpler design (no compensation), proven thermal robustness, and lower EMI - ideal for industrial environments where reliability trumps miniaturization.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the MIC4575-5.0WU-TR?
The MIC4575-5.0WU-TR has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of +40V, but its guaranteed operating range is +4V to +24V. Operation above +24V is not recommended - the datasheet explicitly states the device is not guaranteed to survive a short-circuit to ground at input voltages exceeding 24V. For reliable long-term use, keep VIN ≤ 24V.
Does the MIC4575-5.0WU-TR require external feedback resistors?
No, the MIC4575-5.0WU-TR does not require external feedback resistors. As a fixed 5.0V output variant, it contains an internal resistive divider connected to the FB pin. The FB pin must be connected directly to the output voltage node - no external components are needed for regulation, simplifying layout and improving accuracy.
What package type and thermal characteristics does the MIC4575-5.0WU-TR use?
The MIC4575-5.0WU-TR uses a 5-lead DDPAK (TO-263) package with an exposed thermal pad (Pin 3/TAB = GND). It features a junction-to-case thermal resistance (θJC) of 2°C/W, enabling efficient heat transfer to a PCB copper pour or external heatsink - critical for sustaining 1A continuous output without derating.
How does the shutdown function work on the MIC4575-5.0WU-TR?
The SHDN pin on the MIC4575-5.0WU-TR is TTL-compatible: a logic low (≤0.8V) enables regulation, while a logic high (≥2.4V) places the device in shutdown mode, reducing quiescent current to <200 µA. If unused, SHDN must be pulled low via a resistor - leaving it floating may cause erratic enable behavior.
Can the MIC4575-5.0WU-TR be used in inverting buck-boost configurations?
Yes, the MIC4575-5.0WU-TR can be configured as a positive-to-negative converter (inverting buck-boost) per Figure 4-8 in the datasheet. Its SW pin drives an external inductor and diode network to generate a regulated –5V rail from a +8V to +18V input, making it suitable for dual-supply op-amp stages without requiring a dedicated inverting controller IC.
