Description

The LM2574xx series of regulators are monolithic integrated circuits that provide all the active functions for a step-down (buck) switching regulator, capable of driving a 0.5-A load with excellent line and load regulation. These devices are available in fixed output voltages of 3.3 V, 5 V, 12 V, 15 V, and an adjustable output version.

Requiring a minimum number of external components, these regulators are simple to use and include internal frequency compensation and a fixed-frequency oscillator.

The LM2574xx series offers a high-efficiency replacement for popular three-terminal linear regulators. Because of its high efficiency, the copper traces on the printed-circuit board (PCB) are normally the only heat sinking needed.

A standard series of inductors optimized for use with the LM2574 are available from several different manufacturers. This feature greatly simplifies the design of switch-mode power supplies.

Other features include a specified ±4% tolerance on output voltage within specified input voltages and output load conditions, and ±10% on the oscillator frequency. External shutdown 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 conditions.

Features

  • 3.3-V, 5-V, 12-V, 15-V, and Adjustable Output Versions
  • Adjustable Version Output Voltage Range: 1.23 V to 37 V (57 V for HV version) ±4% Maximum Over Line and Load Conditions
  • Specified 0.5-A Output Current
  • Wide Input Voltage Range: 40 V, up to 60 V for HV Version
  • Requires Only 4 External Components
  • 52-kHz Fixed-Frequency Internal Oscillator
  • TTL Shutdown Capability, Low-Power Standby Mode
  • High Efficiency
  • Uses Readily Available Standard Inductors
  • Thermal Shutdown and Current-Limit Protection
