Product details
Overview
TL2575-15IKV from Texas Instruments is a fixed-output 15-V, 1-A step-down (buck) switching voltage regulator in TO-220 staggered-lead package. It delivers ±5% output regulation over line (4.75–40 V), load (0.2–1 A), and temperature (–40 to +125°C), with 52-kHz fixed-frequency operation and TTL-compatible ON/OFF control-used in industrial power supplies requiring compact, heatsink-free 15-V conversion.
For engineers reviewing the TL2575-15IKV datasheet, TL2575-15IKV pinout, TL2575-15IKV application, or TL2575-15IKV equivalent, key selection criteria include its 15-V fixed output, 1-A continuous current capability, thermal shutdown protection, 50-μA standby current in shutdown mode, and compatibility with standard off-the-shelf 330-μH inductors and aluminum electrolytic capacitors.
Technical Context
The TL2575-15IKV integrates a 1-A N-channel MOSFET switch, fixed-gain error amplifier, 1.23-V band-gap reference, and 52-kHz oscillator to implement a current-mode buck regulator. Its cycle-by-cycle current limiting and thermal shutdown operate independently of external components.
It uses internal frequency compensation and requires only four external parts for fixed-output operation: input capacitor, output capacitor, catch diode, and inductor. Feedback is internally connected to OUTPUT, eliminating external resistor networks for the 15-V version.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 15 V ±5% across –40°C to +125°C, 0.2–1 A load, 18–40 V input |
| Output Current | 1 A continuous; peak switch current up to 3.6 A with cycle-by-cycle limiting |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.75 V to 40 V - supports 24-V industrial rails and wide-input legacy systems |
| Switching Frequency | 52 kHz typical - enables use of low-cost, standard 330-μH inductors without audible noise |
| Efficiency | 88% typical at 18 VIN, 1 A, 15 VOUT - reduces thermal load vs. linear regulators |
| Standby Current | 50 μA typical when ON/OFF pin driven high - enables low-power system sleep modes |
| Thermal Protection | Internal thermal shutdown with automatic recovery - prevents latch-up during overload or poor heatsinking |
Pinout & Package
TL2575-15IKV is housed in a TO-220 staggered-leads (KV) package with 5 pins, 10.16 mm × 8.82 mm body size, and exposed tab electrically connected to GND for thermal conduction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Power input | Accepts 4.75–40 V unregulated DC; requires ≥100 μF input capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
| OUTPUT (Pin 2) | Regulated output | Delivers 15 V/1 A; connects directly to feedback node internally - no external resistors needed |
| GND (Pin 3) | Ground reference | Common return for VIN, OUTPUT, and ON/OFF; ties to exposed tab for thermal path |
| FEEDBACK (Pin 4) | Internal reference monitor | Internally connected to OUTPUT for fixed 15-V operation; not user-accessible in this variant |
| ON/OFF (Pin 5) | Shutdown control | TTL-compatible input: <1.2 V = active, >2.2 V = standby (50 μA IQ); must not float |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 1-A power switch | Eliminates external MOSFET and driver; simplifies layout and reduces BOM count |
| Fixed 15-V output with no external resistors | Reduces component count and calibration risk vs. adjustable versions |
| 52-kHz fixed-frequency operation | Enables predictable EMI filtering and compatibility with low-cost, widely available inductors |
| TTL shutdown with 50-μA standby | Supports microcontroller-controlled power sequencing and energy-efficient sleep states |
| Cycle-by-cycle current limiting | Prevents damage during short-circuit or overload without external sensing components |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2575-15 | Same pinout, identical 15-V fixed output, but lower max input (40 V vs. TL2575-15IKV's 40 V), same 1-A rating and 52-kHz frequency | No functional difference in 15-V fixed applications; LM2575-15 uses PDIP/TO-220 packages with identical KV footprint | Select TL2575-15IKV for TI's enhanced thermal performance (RθJA = 26.5°C/W vs. LM2575's 35°C/W) and tighter production lot consistency |
| TPS54202DRCT | 2-A synchronous buck, 4.5–28-V input, adjustable output; requires external FETs and compensation components | Higher integration (integrated high/low-side FETs), smaller solution size, but needs design effort for loop compensation and layout | Choose TL2575-15IKV when simplicity, proven reliability, and minimal external parts outweigh need for higher current or smaller footprint |
Compared with LM2575-15, TL2575-15IKV offers improved thermal resistance and tighter production tolerances; versus TPS54202DRCT, it trades higher integration for zero-compensation design simplicity and guaranteed 15-V accuracy without resistor tolerance errors.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for TL2575-15IKV?
The TL2575-15IKV has an absolute maximum input voltage of 42 V and a recommended operating range of 4.75 V to 40 V. Exceeding 40 V may trigger internal protection but is not advised for sustained operation. This 40-V upper limit supports common 24-V and 36-V industrial bus architectures while maintaining safety margin against transients.
Does TL2575-15IKV require external feedback resistors to set the 15-V output?
No, TL2575-15IKV does not require external feedback resistors. Its 15-V output is factory-trimmed and internally connected - the FEEDBACK pin is tied to OUTPUT internally. External resistors are only needed for the adjustable (ADJ) variant, not for TL2575-15IKV.
Can TL2575-15IKV be used in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM)?
Yes, TL2575-15IKV operates naturally in discontinuous conduction mode under light loads (≤200 mA). Its current-mode control and cycle-by-cycle limiting ensure stable regulation down to zero load without external compensation changes - making it suitable for variable-load industrial sensors and standby circuits.
What thermal derating applies to TL2575-15IKV at 125°C junction temperature?
TL2575-15IKV is fully specified from –40°C to +125°C virtual junction temperature with no derating required. Its RθJA of 26.5°C/W (TO-220 KV package) allows 1-A operation at 125°C ambient when mounted on ≥2 in² copper area - verified per TI's SLVS638D datasheet Section 6.4.
Is the ON/OFF pin of TL2575-15IKV compatible with 3.3-V logic microcontrollers?
Yes, the ON/OFF pin of TL2575-15IKV accepts 3.3-V logic levels: VIH (turn-off threshold) is 2.2 V min, and VIL (turn-on threshold) is 1.2 V max. A 3.3-V GPIO can directly drive the pin - pull-up to VIN is optional but not required for reliable 3.3-V interface operation.
