0.5 A
Step-Down Voltage 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
µA
(typical) standby current. The output switch
includes cycle–by–cycle current limiting, as well as thermal shutdown for full
protection under fault conditions.

NOTES:
1. External components such as the catch diode, inductor, input and output capacitors can affect the switching regulator system
performance. 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 of the Electrical Characteristics.
2. Tested junction temperature range for the LM2574: Tlow = –40°C Thigh = +125°C
3. 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%.
4. Output (Pin 2) sourcing current. No diode, inductor or capacitor connected to the output pin.
5. Feedback (Pin 4) removed from output and connected to 0 V.
6. 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.
7. Vin = 40 V.
