Microchip | LM2575WU

The LM2575WU is a step down switching regulator with monolithic integrated circuits, available in adjustable versions of output voltage ranging from 1.23 V to 37 V.

The LM2575 series offers a high efficiency replacement for popular three-terminal adjustable linear regulators. It substantially reduces the size of the heat sink and in many cases no heat sink is required.

Features:

• 3.3V, 5V, 12V, and adjustable output versions
• Voltage over specified line and load conditions:
• Fixed version: ±3% max. output voltage
• Adjustable version: ±2% max. feedback voltage
• Guaranteed 1A output current
• Wide input voltage range: 4V to 40V
• Wide output voltage range: 1.23V to 37V
• Requires only 4 external components
• 52kHz fixed frequency internal oscillator
• Low power standby mode IQ typically < 200µA
• 80% efficiency (adjustable version typically > 80%)
• Uses readily available standard inductors
• Thermal shutdown and current limit protection
• 100% electrical thermal limit burn-in

Applications:

• Simple high-efficiency step-down (buck) regulator
• Efficient pre-regulator for linear regulators
• On-card switching regulators
• Positive to negative converter (inverting buck-boost)
• Isolated flyback converter using minimum number of external components
• Negative boost convert
