LM1575/LM2575/LM2575HV  
SIMPLE SWITCHER® 1A Step-Down Voltage Regulator  
General Description  
Features  
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 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 LM2575 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  
LM2575 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.  
Simple high-efficiency step-down (buck) regulator  
Efficient pre-regulator for linear regulators  
On-card switching regulators  
Positive to negative converter (Buck-Boost)

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is  
intended to be functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics.  
Note 2: All limits guaranteed at room temperature (standard type face) and at temperature extremes (bold type face). All limits are used to calculate Average  
Outgoing Quality Level, and all are 100% production tested.  
Note 3: All limits guaranteed at room temperature (standard type face) and at temperature extremes (bold type face). All room temperature limits are 100%  
production tested. All limits at temperature extremes are guaranteed via correlation using standard Statistical Quality Control (SQC) methods.  
Note 4: External components such as the catch diode, inductor, input and output capacitors can affect switching regulator system performance. When the LM1575/  
LM2575 is used as shown in the Figure 2 test circuit, system performance will be as shown in system parameters section of Electrical Characteristics.  
Note 5: Output (pin 2) sourcing current. No diode, inductor or capacitor connected to output pin.  
Note 6: Feedback (pin 4) removed from output and connected to 0V.  
Note 7: Feedback (pin 4) removed from output and connected to +12V for the Adjustable, 3.3V, and 5V versions, and +25V for the 12V and 15V versions, to  
force the output transistor OFF.  
Note 8: VIN = 40V (60V for the high voltage version).  
Note 9: Junction to ambient thermal resistance (no external heat sink) for the 5 lead TO-220 package mounted vertically, with ½ inch leads in a socket, or on a  
PC board with minimum copper area.  
Note 10: Junction to ambient thermal resistance (no external heat sink) for the 5 lead TO-220 package mounted vertically, with ½ inch leads soldered to a PC  
board containing approximately 4 square inches of copper area surrounding the leads.  
Note 11: Junction to ambient thermal resistance with approximately 1 square inch of pc board copper surrounding the leads. Additional copper area will lower  
thermal resistance further. See thermal model in Switchers made Simple software.  
Note 12: If the TO-263 package is used, the thermal resistance can be reduced by increasing the PC board copper area thermally connected to the package:  
Using 0.5 square inches of copper area, θJA is 50°C/W; with 1 square inch of copper area, θJA is 37°C/W; and with 1.6 or more square inches of copper area,  
θ
JA is 32°C/W.  
Note 13: The oscillator frequency reduces to approximately 18 kHz in the event of an output short or an overload which causes the regulated output voltage to  
drop approximately 40% from the nominal output voltage. This self protection feature lowers the average power dissipation of the IC by lowering the minimum  
duty cycle from 5% down to approximately 2%.  
Note 14: Refer to RETS LM1575J for current revision of military RETS/SMD.

The above formula yields capacitor values between 10 μF and 2000

duced voltages in the scope probe.  
Application Hints  
The inductors listed in the selection chart include ferrite pot  
core construction for AIE, powdered iron toroid for Pulse En-  
gineering, and ferrite bobbin core for Renco.  
INPUT CAPACITOR (CIN)  
To maintain stability, the regulator input pin must be bypassed  
with at least a 47 μF electrolytic capacitor. The capacitor's  
leads must be kept short, and located near the regulator.  
An inductor should not be operated beyond its maximum rat-  
ed current because it may saturate. When an inductor begins  
to saturate, the inductance decreases rapidly and the inductor  
begins to look mainly resistive (the DC resistance of the wind-  
ing). This will cause the switch current to rise very rapidly.  
Different inductor types have different saturation characteris-  
tics, and this should be kept in mind when selecting an in-  
ductor.  
If the operating temperature range includes temperatures be-  
low −25°C, the input capacitor value may need to be larger.  
With most electrolytic capacitors, the capacitance value de-  
creases and the ESR increases with lower temperatures and  
age. Paralleling a ceramic or solid tantalum capacitor will in-  
crease the regulator stability at cold temperatures. For maxi-  
mum capacitor operating lifetime, the capacitor's RMS ripple  
current rating should be greater than  
The inductor manufacturer's data sheets include current and  
energy limits to avoid inductor saturation.  
INDUCTOR RIPPLE CURRENT  
When the switcher is operating in the continuous mode, the  
inductor current waveform ranges from a triangular to a saw-  
tooth type of waveform (depending on the input voltage). For  
a given input voltage and output voltage, the peak-to-peak  
amplitude of this inductor current waveform remains constant.  
As the load current rises or falls, the entire sawtooth current  
waveform also rises or falls. The average DC value of this  
waveform is equal to the DC load current (in the buck regu-  
lator configuration).  
INDUCTOR SELECTION  
All switching regulators have two basic modes of operation:  
continuous and discontinuous. The difference between the  
two types relates to the inductor current, whether it is flowing  
continuously, or if it drops to zero for a period of time in the  
normal switching cycle. Each mode has distinctively different  
operating characteristics, which can affect the regulator per-  
formance and requirements.  
If the load current drops to a low enough level, the bottom of  
the sawtooth current waveform will reach zero, and the  
switcher will change to a discontinuous mode of operation.  
This is a perfectly acceptable mode of operation. Any buck  
switching regulator (no matter how large the inductor value is)  
will be forced to run discontinuous if the load current is light  
enough.  
The LM2575 (or any of the Simple Switcher family) can be  
used for both continuous and discontinuous modes of oper-  
ation.  
OUTPUT CAPACITOR  
An output capacitor is required to filter the output voltage and  
is needed for loop stability. The capacitor should be located  
near the LM2575 using short pc board traces. Standard alu-  
minum electrolytics are usually adequate, but low ESR types  
are recommended for low output ripple voltage and good sta-  
bility. The ESR of a capacitor depends on many factors, some  
which are: the value, the voltage rating, physical size and the  
type of construction. In general, low value or low voltage (less  
than 12V) electrolytic capacitors usually have higher ESR  
numbers.  
The inductor value selection guides in Figure 3 through Figure  
7 were designed for buck regulator designs of the continuous  
inductor current type. When using inductor values shown in  
the inductor selection guide, the peak-to-peak inductor ripple  
current will be approximately 20% to 30% of the maximum DC  
current. With relatively heavy load currents, the circuit oper-  
ates in the continuous mode (inductor current always flowing),  
but under light load conditions, the circuit will be forced to the  
discontinuous mode (inductor current falls to zero for a period  
of time). This discontinuous mode of operation is perfectly  
acceptable. For light loads (less than approximately 200 mA)  
it may be desirable to operate the regulator in the discontin-  
uous mode, primarily because of the lower inductor values  
required for the discontinuous mode.  
The amount of output ripple voltage is primarily a function of  
the ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) of the output capac-  
itor and the amplitude of the inductor ripple current (ΔIIND).  
See the section on inductor ripple current in Application Hints.  
The lower capacitor values (220 μF–680 μF) will allow typi-  
cally 50 mV to 150 mV of output ripple voltage, while larger-  
value capacitors will reduce the ripple to approximately 20 mV  
to 50 mV.  
The selection guide chooses inductor values suitable for con-  
tinuous mode operation, but if the inductor value chosen is  
prohibitively high, the designer should investigate the possi-  
bility of discontinuous operation. The computer design soft-  
ware Switchers Made Simple will provide all component  
values for discontinuous (as well as continuous) mode of op-  
eration.  
Output Ripple Voltage = (ΔIIND) (ESR of COUT  
)
To further reduce the output ripple voltage, several standard  
electrolytic capacitors may be paralleled, or a higher-grade  
capacitor may be used. Such capacitors are often called  
“high-frequency,” “low-inductance,” or “low-ESR.” These will  
reduce the output ripple to 10 mV or 20 mV. However, when  
operating in the continuous mode, reducing the ESR below  
0.05Ω can cause instability in the regulator.  
Tantalum capacitors can have a very low ESR, and should be  
carefully evaluated if it is the only output capacitor. Because  
of their good low temperature characteristics, a tantalum can  
Inductors are available in different styles such as pot core,  
toriod, E-frame, bobbin core, etc., as well as different core  
materials, such as ferrites and powdered iron. The least ex-  
pensive, the bobbin core type, consists of wire wrapped on a  
ferrite rod core. This type of construction makes for an inex-  
pensive inductor, but since the magnetic flux is not completely  
contained within the core, it generates more electromagnetic  
interference (EMI). This EMI can cause problems in sensitive

be used in parallel with aluminum electrolytics, with the tan-  
talum making up 10% or 20% of the total capacitance.  
With the N or M packages, all the pins labeled ground, power  
ground, or signal ground should be soldered directly to wide  
printed circuit board copper traces. This assures both low in-  
ductance connections and good thermal properties.  
The capacitor's ripple current rating at 52 kHz should be at  
least 50% higher than the peak-to-peak inductor ripple cur-  
rent.  
HEAT SINK/THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS  
CATCH DIODE  
In many cases, no heat sink is required to keep the LM2575  
junction temperature within the allowed operating range. For  
each application, to determine whether or not a heat sink will  
be required, the following must be identified:  
Buck regulators require a diode to provide a return path for  
the inductor current when the switch is off. This diode should  
be located close to the LM2575 using short leads and short  
printed circuit traces.  
1. Maximum ambient temperature (in the application).  
2. Maximum regulator power dissipation (in application).  
Because of their fast switching speed and low forward voltage  
drop, Schottky diodes provide the best efficiency, especially  
in low output voltage switching regulators (less than 5V). Fast-  
Recovery, High-Efficiency, or Ultra-Fast Recovery diodes are  
also suitable, but some types with an abrupt turn-off charac-  
teristic may cause instability and EMI problems. A fast-recov-  
ery diode with soft recovery characteristics is a better choice.  
Standard 60 Hz diodes (e.g., 1N4001 or 1N5400, etc.) are  
also not suitable. See Figure 8 for Schottky and “soft” fast-  
recovery diode selection guide.  
3. Maximum allowed junction temperature (150°C for the  
LM1575 or 125°C for the LM2575). For a safe,  
conservative design, a temperature approximately 15°C  
cooler than the maximum temperature should be  
selected.  
4. LM2575 package thermal resistances θJA and θJC  
.
Total power dissipated by the LM2575 can be estimated as  
follows:  
PD = (VIN) (IQ) + (VO/VIN) (ILOAD) (VSAT  
)
OUTPUT VOLTAGE RIPPLE AND TRANSIENTS  
where IQ (quiescent current) and VSAT can be found in the  
Characteristic Curves shown previously, VIN is the applied  
minimum input voltage, VO is the regulated output voltage,  
and ILOAD is the load current. The dynamic losses during turn-  
on and turn-off are negligible if a Schottky type catch diode is  
used.  
The output voltage of a switching power supply will contain a  
sawtooth ripple voltage at the switcher frequency, typically  
about 1% of the output voltage, and may also contain short  
voltage spikes at the peaks of the sawtooth waveform.  
The output ripple voltage is due mainly to the inductor saw-  
tooth ripple current multiplied by the ESR of the output ca-  
pacitor. (See the inductor selection in the application hints.)  
When no heat sink is used, the junction temperature rise can  
be determined by the following:  
The voltage spikes are present because of the fast switching  
action of the output switch, and the parasitic inductance of the  
output filter capacitor. To minimize these voltage spikes, spe-  
cial low inductance capacitors can be used, and their lead  
lengths must be kept short. Wiring inductance, stray capaci-  
tance, as well as the scope probe used to evaluate these  
transients, all contribute to the amplitude of these spikes.  
ΔTJ = (PD) (θJA  
)
To arrive at the actual operating junction temperature, add the  
junction temperature rise to the maximum ambient tempera-  
ture.  
TJ = ΔTJ + TA  
If the actual operating junction temperature is greater than the  
selected safe operating junction temperature determined in  
step 3, then a heat sink is required.  
An additional small LC filter (20 μH & 100 μF) can be added  
to the output (as shown in Figure 15) to further reduce the  
amount of output ripple and transients. A 10 × reduction in  
output ripple voltage and transients is possible with this filter.  
When using a heat sink, the junction temperature rise can be  
determined by the following:  
FEEDBACK CONNECTION  
ΔTJ = (PD) (θJC + θinterface + θHeat sink  
The operating junction temperature will be:  
TJ = TA + ΔTJ  
)
The LM2575 (fixed voltage versions) feedback pin must be  
wired to the output voltage point of the switching power sup-  
ply. When using the adjustable version, physically locate both  
output voltage programming resistors near the LM2575 to  
avoid picking up unwanted noise. Avoid using resistors  
greater than 100 kΩ because of the increased chance of noise  
pickup.  
As above, if the actual operating junction temperature is  
greater than the selected safe operating junction tempera-  
ture, then a larger heat sink is required (one that has a lower  
thermal resistance).  
ON /OFF INPUT  
When using the LM2575 in the plastic DIP (N) or surface  
mount (M) packages, several items about the thermal prop-  
erties of the packages should be understood. The majority of  
the heat is conducted out of the package through the leads,  
with a minor portion through the plastic parts of the package.  
Since the lead frame is solid copper, heat from the die is  
readily conducted through the leads to the printed circuit  
board copper, which is acting as a heat sink.  
For normal operation, the ON /OFF pin should be grounded  
or driven with a low-level TTL voltage (typically below 1.6V).  
To put the regulator into standby mode, drive this pin with a  
high-level TTL or CMOS signal. The ON /OFF pin can be  
safely pulled up to +VIN without a resistor in series with it. The  
ON /OFF pin should not be left open.  
GROUNDING  
For best thermal performance, the ground pins and all the  
unconnected pins should be soldered to generous amounts  
of printed circuit board copper, such as a ground plane. Large  
areas of copper provide the best transfer of heat to the sur-  
rounding air. Copper on both sides of the board is also helpful  
in getting the heat away from the package, even if there is no  
direct copper contact between the two sides. Thermal resis-  
To maintain output voltage stability, the power ground con-  
nections must be low-impedance (see Figure 2). For the TO-3  
style package, the case is ground. For the 5-lead TO-220 style  
package, both the tab and pin 3 are ground and either con-  
nection may be used, as they are both part of the same copper  
lead frame.

tance numbers as low as 40°C/W for the SO package, and  
30°C/W for the N package can be realized with a carefully  
engineered pc board.  
would allow the input voltage to rise to a high enough level  
before the switcher would be allowed to turn on.  
Because of the structural differences between the buck and  
the buck-boost regulator topologies, the buck regulator de-  
sign procedure section can not be used to select the inductor  
or the output capacitor. The recommended range of inductor  
values for the buck-boost design is between 68 μH and 220  
μH, and the output capacitor values must be larger than what  
is normally required for buck designs. Low input voltages or  
high output currents require a large value output capacitor (in  
the thousands of micro Farads).  
Included on the Switchers Made Simple design software is  
a more precise (non-linear) thermal model that can be used  
to determine junction temperature with different input-output  
parameters or different component values. It can also calcu-  
late the heat sink thermal resistance required to maintain the  
regulators junction temperature below the maximum operat-  
ing temperature.  
Additional Applications  
The peak inductor current, which is the same as the peak  
switch current, can be calculated from the following formula:

Figure 10 shows a LM2575-12 in a buck-boost configuration  
to generate a negative 12V output from a positive input volt-  
age. This circuit bootstraps the regulator's ground pin to the  
negative output voltage, then by grounding the feedback pin,  
the regulator senses the inverted output voltage and regu-  
lates it to −12V.  
Where fosc = 52 kHz. Under normal continuous inductor cur-  
rent operating conditions, the minimum VIN represents the  
worst case. Select an inductor that is rated for the peak cur-  
rent anticipated.  
For an input voltage of 12V or more, the maximum available  
output current in this configuration is approximately 0.35A. At  
lighter loads, the minimum input voltage required drops to  
approximately 4.7V.  
Also, the maximum voltage appearing across the regulator is  
the absolute sum of the input and output voltage. For a −12V  
output, the maximum input voltage for the LM2575 is +28V,  
or +48V for the LM2575HV.  
The switch currents in this buck-boost configuration are high-  
er than in the standard buck-mode design, thus lowering the  
available output current. Also, the start-up input current of the  
buck-boost converter is higher than the standard buck-mode  
regulator, and this may overload an input power source with  
a current limit less than 1.5A. Using a delayed turn-on or an  
undervoltage lockout circuit (described in the next section)  
The Switchers Made Simple (version 3.3) design software  
can be used to determine the feasibility of regulator designs  
using different topologies, different input-output parameters,  
different components, etc.

NEGATIVE BOOST REGULATOR  
Another variation on the buck-boost topology is the negative  
boost configuration. The circuit in Figure 11 accepts an input  
voltage ranging from −5V to −12V and provides a regulated  
−12V output. Input voltages greater than −12V will cause the  
output to rise above −12V, but will not damage the regulator.  
Because of the boosting function of this type of regulator, the  
switch current is relatively high, especially at low input volt-  
ages. Output load current limitations are a result of the max-  
imum current rating of the switch. Also, boost regulators can  
not provide current limiting load protection in the event of a  
shorted load, so some other means (such as a fuse) may be  
necessary.

UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT  
FIGURE 13. Undervoltage Lockout  
for Buck-Boost Circuit  
In some applications it is desirable to keep the regulator off  
until the input voltage reaches a certain threshold. An under-  
voltage lockout circuit which accomplishes this task is shown  
in Figure 12, while Figure 13 shows the same circuit applied  
to a buck-boost configuration. These circuits keep the regu-  
lator off until the input voltage reaches a predetermined level.  
VTH ≈ VZ1 + 2VBE (Q1)  
DELAYED STARTUP  
The ON /OFF pin can be used to provide a delayed startup  
feature as shown in Figure 14. With an input voltage of 20V  
and for the part values shown, the circuit provides approxi-  
mately 10 ms of delay time before the circuit begins switching.  
Increasing the RC time constant can provide longer delay  
times. But excessively large RC time constants can cause  
problems with input voltages that are high in 60 Hz or 120 Hz  
ripple, by coupling the ripple into the ON /OFF pin.

EQUIVALENT SERIES INDUCTANCE (ESL)  
Definition of Terms  
The pure inductance component of a capacitor (see Figure  
16). The amount of inductance is determined to a large extent  
on the capacitor's construction. In a buck regulator, this un-  
wanted inductance causes voltage spikes to appear on the  
output.  
BUCK REGULATOR  
A switching regulator topology in which a higher voltage is  
converted to a lower voltage. Also known as a step-down  
switching regulator.  
OUTPUT RIPPLE VOLTAGE  
BUCK-BOOST REGULATOR  
The AC component of the switching regulator's output volt-  
age. It is usually dominated by the output capacitor's ESR  
multiplied by the inductor's ripple current (ΔIIND). The peak-  
to-peak value of this sawtooth ripple current can be deter-  
mined by reading the Inductor Ripple Current section of the  
Application hints.  
A switching regulator topology in which a positive voltage is  
converted to a negative voltage without a transformer.  
DUTY CYCLE (D)  
Ratio of the output switch's on-time to the oscillator period.  
CAPACITOR RIPPLE CURRENT  
RMS value of the maximum allowable alternating current at  
which a capacitor can be operated continuously at a specified  
temperature.  
STANDBY QUIESCENT CURRENT (ISTBY  
)
Supply current required by the LM2575 when in the standby  
mode (ON /OFF pin is driven to TTL-high voltage, thus turning  
the output switch OFF).  
CATCH DIODE OR CURRENT STEERING DIODE  
The diode which provides a return path for the load current  
when the LM2575 switch is OFF.  
INDUCTOR RIPPLE CURRENT (ΔIIND  
)
The peak-to-peak value of the inductor current waveform,  
typically a sawtooth waveform when the regulator is operating  
in the continuous mode (vs. discontinuous mode).  
EFFICIENCY (η)  
The proportion of input power actually delivered to the load.  
CONTINUOUS/DISCONTINUOUS MODE OPERATION  
Relates to the inductor current. In the continuous mode, the  
inductor current is always flowing and never drops to zero, vs.  
the discontinuous mode, where the inductor current drops to  
zero for a period of time in the normal switching cycle.  
CAPACITOR EQUIVALENT SERIES RESISTANCE (ESR)  
The purely resistive component of  
a real capacitor's  
INDUCTOR SATURATION  
impedance (see Figure 16). It causes power loss resulting in  
capacitor heating, which directly affects the capacitor's oper-  
ating lifetime. When used as a switching regulator output filter,  
higher ESR values result in higher output ripple voltages.  
The condition which exists when an inductor cannot hold any  
more magnetic flux. When an inductor saturates, the inductor  
appears less inductive and the resistive component domi-  
nates. Inductor current is then limited only by the DC resis-  
tance of the wire and the available source current.  
OPERATING VOLT MICROSECOND CONSTANT (E•Top  
)
The product (in VoIt•μs) of the voltage applied to the inductor  
and the time the voltage is applied. This E•Top constant is a  
measure of the energy handling capability of an inductor and  
is dependent upon the type of core, the core area, the number  
of turns, and the duty cycle.

FIGURE 16. Simple Model of a Real Capacitor  
Most standard aluminum electrolytic capacitors in the  
100 μF–1000 μF range have 0.5Ω to 0.1Ω ESR. Higher-grade  
capacitors (“low-ESR”, “high-frequency”, or “low-induc-  
tance”') in the 100 μF–1000 μF range generally have ESR of  
less than 0.15Ω.
