LM25575
42V, 1.5A Step-Down Switching Regulator
General Description
Features
The LM25575 is an easy to use SIMPLE SWITCHER® buck
regulator which allows design engineers to design and opti-
mize a robust power supply using a minimum set of compo-
nents. Operating with an input voltage range of 6 - 42V, the
LM25575 delivers 1.5A of continuous output current with an
integrated 330mΩ N-Channel MOSFET. The regulator uti-
lizes an Emulated Current Mode architecture which provides
inherent line regulation, tight load transient response, and
ease of loop compensation without the usual limitation of low-
duty cycles associated with current mode regulators. The
operating frequency is adjustable from 50kHz to 1MHz to al-
low optimization of size and efficiency. To reduce EMI, a
frequency synchronization pin allows multiple IC’s from the
LM(2)557x family to self-synchronize or to synchronize to an
external clock. The LM25575 guarantees robustness with cy-
cle-by-cycle current limit, short-circuit protection, thermal
shut-down, and remote shut-down. The device is available in
a power enhanced TSSOP-16 package featuring an exposed
die attach pad for thermal dissipation. The LM25575 is sup-
ported by the full suite of WEBENCH® On-Line design tools.
