Step-Down Voltage Regulator
The LM2575 series of regulators are monolithic integrated circuits ideally
suited for easy and convenient design of a stepdown switching regulator
(buck converter). All circuits of this series are capable of driving a 1.0 A load
with excellent line and load regulation. These devices are available in fixed
output voltages of 3.3 V, 5.0 V, 12 V, 15 V, and an adjustable output version.
These regulators were designed to minimize the number of external
components to simplify the power supply design. Standard series of
inductors optimised for use with the LM2575 are offered by several different
inductor manufacturers.
Since the LM2575 converter is a switchmode power supply, its efficiency
is significantly higher in comparison with popular threeterminal linear
regulators, especially with higher input voltages. In many cases, the power
dissipated by the LM2575 regulator is so low, that no heatsink is required or
its size could be reduced dramatically.
The LM2575 features include a guaranteed
4% tolerance on output
voltage within specified input voltages and output load conditions, and
10%
on the oscillator frequency (
2% over 0
C to 125
C). External shutdown is
included, featuring 80
A typical standby current. The output switch includes
cyclebycycle current limiting, as well as thermal shutdown for full
protection under fault conditions.

NOTES: 3. The oscillator frequency reduces to approximately 18 kHz in the event of an output short or an overload which causes the regulated output voltage to
drop approximately 40% from the nominal output voltage. This self protection feature lowers the average dissipation of the IC by lowering the
minimum duty cycle from 5% down to approximately 2%.
4. Output (Pin 2) sourcing current. No diode, inductor or capacitor connected to output pin.
5. Feedback (Pin 4) removed from output and connected to 0 V.
6. Feedback (Pin 4) removed from output and connected to +12 V for the Adjustable, 3.3 V, and 5.0 V versions, and +25 V for the 12 V and 15 V
versions, to force the output transistor "off".
