LM1575/LM2575/LM2575HV
SIMPLE SWITCHER 1A Step-Down Voltage Regulator
General Description Features
The LM2575 series of regulators are monolithic integrated n 3.3V, 5V, 12V, 15V, and adjustable output versions
circuits that provide all the active functions for a step-down n Adjustable version output voltage range,
(buck) switching regulator, capable of driving a 1A load with 1.23V to 37V (57V for HV version) 4% max over
excellent line and load regulation. These devices are avail- line and load conditions
able in fixed output voltages of 3.3V, 5V, 12V, 15V, and an n Guaranteed 1A output current
adjustable output version. n Wide input voltage range, 40V up to 60V for HV version
Requiring a minimum number of external components, these n Requires only 4 external components
regulators are simple to use and include internal frequency n 52 kHz fixed frequency internal oscillator
compensation and a fixed-frequency oscillator. n TTL shutdown capability, low power standby mode
The LM2575 series offers a high-efficiency replacement for n High efficiency
popular three-terminal linear regulators. It substantially re- n Uses readily available standard inductors

n P+ Product Enhancement tested
A standard series of inductors optimized for use with the
LM2575 are available from several different manufacturers.
This feature greatly simplifies the design of switch-mode Applications

Other features include a guaranteed 4% tolerance on out- n Efficient pre-regulator for linear regulators
put voltage within specified input voltages and output load n On-card switching regulators
conditions, and 10% on the oscillator frequency. External n Positive to negative converter (Buck-Boost)
shutdown is included, featuring 50 A (typical) standby cur-
rent. The output switch includes cycle-by-cycle current limit-
ing, as well as thermal shutdown for full protection under
fault conditions.
