Overview

The LM2576HVT-5.0/NOPB is a monolithic integrated circuit that provides all the active functions for a step-down (buck) switching regulator. This high-voltage version is capable of driving a 3A load with excellent line and load regulation while operating at a fixed 52kHz switching frequency. It is designed to simplify power supply design by requiring a minimum number of external components.

Why Choose This Part

The TO-220-5 through-hole package offers excellent thermal management and is easy to mount on heat sinks for high-current applications. Its 3A output capability and internal compensation significantly reduce the PCB footprint and design complexity compared to discrete switching solutions.

Applications

Industrial Power Supplies
Provides a reliable 5V rail for logic circuits and industrial controllers from high-voltage input lines.
Battery Chargers
Efficiently steps down higher battery pack voltages to a regulated 5V for charging portable devices.
Pre-regulator for Linear Regulators
Used as a high-efficiency first stage to reduce voltage before a final linear regulation stage, minimizing heat dissipation.
Distributed Power Systems
Acts as a local point-of-load regulator in systems with a high-voltage DC bus.

Getting Started

When designing with the LM2576HVT-5.0/NOPB, ensure the input capacitor is placed as close as possible to the VIN and GND pins to minimize noise. Follow the datasheet layout guidelines for the catch diode and inductor to maintain stability at the 52kHz switching frequency. Use the ON/OFF pin to implement system-level power sequencing or to enter a low-power 50uA standby mode.
