LM2574
52kHz Simple 0.5A Buck Regulator
General Description
The LM2574 family is a series of easy to use fixed and adjustable switching voltage regulators. The LM2574 contains all of the active circuitry necessary to construct a stepdown (buck) switching regulator and requires a minimum of external components. The LM2574 is available in 3.3V and 5V fixed output versions, or an adjustable version with an output voltage range of 1.23V to 37V. Output voltage is guaranteed to ±4% for specified input and load conditions. The LM2574 can supply 0.5A while maintaining excellent line and load regulation. The output switch includes cycle-bycycle current limiting, as well as thermal shutdown for full protection under fault conditions. An external shutdown connection selects operating or standby modes. Standby current is less than 200µA. Heat sinks are generally unnecessary due the regulator’s high efficiency. Adequate heat transfer is usually provided by soldering all package pins to a printed circuit board. The LM2574 includes internal frequency compensation and an internal 52kHz fixed frequency oscillator guaranteed to ±10% of the frequency. Circuits constructed around the LM2574 use a standard series of inductors which are available from several different manufacturers. All support documentation can be found on Micrel’s web site at www.micrel.com.

1. “Absolute Maximum Ratings” indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. “Operating Ratings” indicate for which the device is intended to be functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see “Electrical
Characteristics.”
2. All limits guaranteed at room temperature (standard type face) and at temperature extremes (bold type face). All room temperature limits are 100% production tested. All limits at temperature extremes are guaranteed via testing. 3. External components such as the catch diode, inductor, input and output capacitors can affect switching regulator system performance. When the LM2574 is used as shown in Figure 1 test circuit, system performance will be shown in system parameters section of “Electrical Charac-
teristics.”
