LM2574, NCV2574
0.5 A, Adjustable Output
Voltage, Step−Down
Switching Regulator
The LM2574 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 0.5 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 LM2574 are offered by several
different inductor manufacturers.
Since the LM2574 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 most cases, the power dissipated by the LM2574 regulator is so low,
that the copper traces on the printed circuit board are normally the only
heatsink needed and no additional heatsinking is required.
The LM2574 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 60
mA
(typical) standby current. The
output switch includes cycle−by−cycle current limiting, as well as
thermal shutdown for full protection under fault conditions.

Maximum ratings are those values beyond which device damage can occur. Maximum ratings applied to the device are individual stress limit
values (not normal operating conditions) and are not valid simultaneously. If these limits are exceeded, device functional operation is not implied,
damage may occur and reliability may be affected.

When the LM2574 is used as shown in the Figure 16 test circuit, the system performance will be as shown in the system parameters section

4. Tested junction temperature range for the LM2574, NCV2574: T
low

high

5. 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%.
6. Output (Pin 2) sourcing current. No diode, inductor or capacitor connected to the output pin.
7. Feedback (Pin 4) removed from output and connected to 0 V.
8. Feedback (Pin 4) removed from output and connected to 12 V for the Adjustable, 3.3 V, and 5.0 V versions, and 25 V for the 12 V and 15 V
versions, to force the output transistor OFF.
