P1575/P2575/P2575HV
SIMPLE SWITCHER® 1A Step-Down Voltage Regulator
General Description
Features
The P2575 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 avail-
able in fixed output voltages of 3.3V, 5V, 12V, 15V, and an
adjustable output version.
3.3V, 5V, 12V, 15V, and adjustable output versions

Adjustable version output voltage range,
1.23V to 37V (57V for HV version) ±4% max over
line and load conditions
Guaranteed 1A output current

Wide input voltage range, 40V up to 60V for HV version
Requiring a minimum number of external components, these
regulators are simple to use and include internal frequency
compensation and a fixed-frequency oscillator.
Requires only 4 external components
52 kHz fixed frequency internal oscillator
TTL shutdown capability, low power standby mode
The P2575 series offers a high-efficiency replacement for
popular three-terminal linear regulators. It substantially re-
duces the size of the heat sink, and in many cases no heat
sink is required.
High efficiency
Uses readily available standard inductors
Thermal shutdown and current limit protection
P+ Product Enhancement tested
A standard series of inductors optimized for use with the
P2575 are available from several different manufacturers.
This feature greatly simplifies the design of switch-mode pow-
er supplies.
■
Applications
Other features include a guaranteed ±4% tolerance on output
voltage within specified input voltages and output load con-
ditions, and ±10% on the oscillator frequency. External shut-
down 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 con-
ditions.
