Product details
Overview
TL2575-ADJIN from Texas Instruments is a 1-A adjustable-output step-down (buck) switching voltage regulator IC with internal 1-A N-channel MOSFET switch, 1.23-V reference, and fixed 52-kHz oscillator. It operates from 4.75 V to 40 V input, delivers output from 1.23 V to 37 V, and achieves up to 88% efficiency in buck configurations for industrial power rails.
For engineers reviewing the TL2575-ADJIN datasheet, TL2575-ADJIN pinout, TL2575-ADJIN application, or TL2575-ADJIN equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specs, TO-220 package terminal mapping, thermal shutdown behavior, cycle-by-cycle current limiting, and real-world design guidance for adjustable DC-DC conversion in embedded systems.
Technical Context
The TL2575-ADJIN integrates a fixed-frequency PWM controller, error amplifier with 1.23-V bandgap reference, thermal shutdown circuitry, and cycle-by-cycle peak-current limiting. Its feedback loop uses external resistive dividers to set output voltage, with typical feedback bias current of 50–100 nA and ±4% regulation over line, load, and temperature.
It employs internal frequency compensation and requires only four external components (input/output capacitors, inductor, catch diode) for operation. Standby mode draws 50 μA typical quiescent current when ON/OFF pin is high, and the device enters thermal shutdown above 150°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 1 A continuous - supports medium-power loads without external pass transistor |
| Input Voltage Range | 4.75 V to 40 V - compatible with 5 V, 12 V, 24 V, and 36 V industrial bus rails |
| Adjustable Output Range | 1.23 V to 37 V - set via external R1/R2 divider; 1.23-V reference enables precise low-voltage regulation |
| Oscillator Frequency | 52 kHz (typical) - fixed internal clock simplifies EMI filtering and inductor selection |
| Efficiency | Up to 88% (typical) - reduces thermal load vs. linear regulators; eliminates heatsink in many cases |
| Standby Current | 50 μA (typical) - enables low-power shutdown via TTL-compatible ON/OFF pin |
| Protection Features | Thermal shutdown + cycle-by-cycle current limiting - prevents damage during overload or short-circuit |
Pinout & Package
TL2575-ADJIN is supplied in the KV (TO-220, staggered leads) 5-pin package with exposed tab for thermal conduction. Pin 1 = VIN, Pin 2 = OUTPUT, Pin 3 = GND, Pin 4 = FEEDBACK, Pin 5 = ON/OFF.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Unregulated DC input supply | Accepts 4.75–40 V; must be bypassed with ≥47 µF electrolytic capacitor near pin |
| OUTPUT (Pin 2) | Switched output node | Drives external inductor; connects to cathode of catch diode and output capacitor anode |
| GND (Pin 3) | Power and signal ground reference | Common return for input cap, output cap, feedback divider, and ON/OFF logic |
| FEEDBACK (Pin 4) | Regulation sense input | Connects to voltage divider midpoint; 1.23-V reference sets VOUT = 1.23 × (1 + R2/R1) |
| ON/OFF (Pin 5) | TTL-compatible enable/disable control | Low ≤1.0 V enables operation; high ≥2.2 V places device in 50-μA standby mode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 1-A N-channel switch | Eliminates need for external MOSFET; reduces BOM count and layout complexity |
| Fixed 52-kHz oscillator | Enables predictable EMI profile and consistent inductor sizing across designs |
| Internal frequency compensation | Permits stable operation with standard aluminum electrolytic output capacitors (no external compensation required) |
| ±4% output regulation | Guaranteed accuracy over full line (4.75–40 V), load (0–1 A), and temperature (–40°C to +125°C) range |
| Cycle-by-cycle current limiting | Prevents inductor saturation and MOSFET failure during transient overloads without latch-off |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar adjustable buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2575-ADJ | Same pinout and functional architecture; lower max input voltage (40 V vs. TL2575-ADJIN's 40 V), identical 1.23-V reference and 52-kHz oscillator | No HV variant; not rated for >40 V input - unsuitable where transient spikes exceed 40 V | Valid drop-in replacement if input stays ≤40 V and thermal derating aligns with TO-220 package |
| TPS54202D | 2-A synchronous buck with 4.5–28 V input, 500-kHz switching, integrated high/low-side FETs, and enable pin | Higher frequency enables smaller magnetics; lacks built-in thermal shutdown flag; no direct ON/OFF pin compatibility | Preferred for space-constrained designs needing >1 A or higher efficiency at light loads; requires PCB redesign |
Compared with LM2575-ADJ, TL2575-ADJIN offers identical adjustability and ruggedness but shares TI's updated thermal characterization and production test flow; versus TPS54202D, it trades higher current and integration for proven reliability in legacy industrial systems with minimal external component count.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for TL2575-ADJIN?
The TL2575-ADJIN has an absolute maximum input voltage of 42 V and a recommended operating maximum of 40 V. Exceeding 40 V risks permanent damage even if within the 42-V absolute limit. For designs requiring >40 V input, the TL2575HV-ADJ variant (60 V max) should be used instead of TL2575-ADJIN.
How is the output voltage set on TL2575-ADJIN?
The TL2575-ADJIN output voltage is set using two external resistors (R1 and R2) connected between OUTPUT, FEEDBACK, and GND. The formula is VOUT = 1.23 V × (1 + R2/R1). R1 is typically 1 kΩ; R2 values for common outputs are documented in the datasheet (e.g., 3.1 kΩ for 5 V). TL2575-ADJIN requires no internal trimming - regulation relies solely on resistor ratio and the 1.23-V reference.
Does TL2575-ADJIN require an external catch diode?
Yes, TL2575-ADJIN requires an external Schottky catch diode (e.g., 1N5819 or equivalent) connected from OUTPUT to GND. This diode provides the freewheeling path for inductor current during the switch off-time. Using a fast-recovery or standard rectifier diode increases losses and may cause instability; Schottky diodes are mandatory for optimal efficiency and noise performance per the TL2575-ADJIN datasheet.
What thermal protection does TL2575-ADJIN include?
TL2575-ADJIN incorporates thermal shutdown that disables the internal switch when junction temperature exceeds approximately 150°C. Operation resumes automatically once temperature falls below the hysteresis threshold (~135°C). This protection is independent of current limiting and ensures safe operation under sustained overload or poor heatsinking conditions - a key reliability feature confirmed in the TL2575-ADJIN datasheet's absolute maximum ratings and functional description.
Can TL2575-ADJIN be used in inverting buck-boost topology?
Yes, TL2575-ADJIN supports inverting buck-boost configuration per the official TI application notes and functional block diagram. In this mode, the OUTPUT pin becomes the negative output rail, GND serves as the switching node, and the inductor connects between VIN and OUTPUT. The TL2575-ADJIN datasheet explicitly lists "inverting buck-boost power supplies" in its Applications section and provides layout guidance for this topology.
