LM2575
Easy Switcher 1.0 A
Step-Down Voltage
Regulator
The LM2575 series of regulators are monolithic integrated circuits
ideally suited for easy and convenient design of a step–down
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 optimized for use with the LM2575 are offered by several
different inductor manufacturers.

Since the LM2575 converter is a switch–mode power supply, its
efficiency is significantly higher in comparison with popular
three–terminal 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 µA typical standby current. The
output switch includes cycle–by–cycle current limiting, as well as
thermal shutdown for full protection under fault conditions.
