DESCRIPTION
The LM2575 series of regulators are monolithic
integrated circuits that provide all the active functions
for a step-down (buck) switching regulator, capable of
driving a 1A load with excellent line and load
regulation. These devices are available in fixed output
voltages of 3.3V, 5V, 12V, 15V, and an adjustable
output version.
Requiring a minimum number of external
components, these regulators are simple to use and
include internal frequency compensation and a fixed-
frequency oscillator.
The LM2575 series offers a high-efficiency
replacement for popular three-terminal linear
regulators. It substantially reduces the size of the
heat sink, and in many cases no heat sink is
required.
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 power supplies.
Other features include a specified ±4% tolerance on
output voltage within specified input voltages and
output load conditions, and ±10% on the oscillator
frequency. External shutdown is included, featuring
50 μA (typical) standby current. The output switch
includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting, as well as
thermal shutdown for full protection under fault
conditions.
