DESCRIPTION
The LM1501AG series of regulators are monolithic integrated circuits that provide all the active functions for a
step-down switching regulator, capable of driving a 5A load with excellent line and load regulation. These
devices are available in fixed output voltages of 3.3V, 5V, 12V and an adjustable output version. Requiring a
minimum number of external components, these regulators are simple to use and they include internal
frequency compensation and a fixed-frequency oscillator. The LM1501AG series operates at a switching
frequency of 150kHz thus allowing smaller sized filter components than what would be needed with lower
frequency switching regulators.
Other features include a guaranteed ±4% tolerance on output voltage under specified input voltage and output
load conditions, and ± 15% on the oscillator frequency. External shutdown is included, featuring typically 80uA
standby current. Self-protection features include a two stage frequency reducing current limit for output switch
and an over temperature shutdown for complete protection under fault conditions.

Note 1. Absolute Maximum Rating indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate condition 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: Typical numbers are at 25℃ and represent the most likely norm.
Note 3: All limits guaranteed at room temperature (standard type face) and at temperature extremes (bold type face).
Note 4: External components such as the schottky diode, inductor, input and output capacitors, and voltage programming resistors can affect
switching regulator system performance. When the LM1501AG is used as shown in the typical circuit, system performance will be as
shown in system parameters section of Electrical Characteristics.
Note 5: The switching frequency is reduced when the second stage current limit is activated. The amount of reduction is determined by the
severity of current over-load.
Note 6: No diode, inductor or capacitor connected to output pin.
Note 7: Feedback pin removed from output and connected to 0V to force the output transistor switch ON.
Note 8: Feedback pin removed from output and connected to 12V for the 3.3V, 5V, and the ADJ version, and 15V for the 12V version,
to force the output transistor switch OFF.
Note 9: VIN = 40V.
Note 10: Guaranteed by design, not tested.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
As in any switching regulator, layout is very important. Rapidly switching currents associated with wiring
inductance generate voltage transients which can cause problems. For minimal inductance and ground loops,
the length of the wires should be kept as short as possible. Single-point grounding or ground plane
construction should be used for best results. Keep the feedback wiring away from the inductor flux
