LM2574N-5.0

Texas Instruments · DC-DC Converters · DIP-8

LM2574N-5.0 from Texas Instruments, in a DIP-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 FB input Feedback sense input pin. Connect to the midpoint of feedback divider to set VOUT for adjustable version or connect this pin directly to the output capacitor for fixed output version.
2 SIG_GND power_in Signal ground pin. Ground reference for internal references and logic. Connect to system ground.
3 ON/OFF input Enable input to the voltage regulator; high = OFF and low = ON. Connect to GND to enable the voltage regulator. Do not leave this pin float.
4 PWR_GND power_in Power ground pin. Connect to system ground and signal ground pins of CIN and COUT. Path to CIN must be as short as possible.
5 VIN power_in Supply input pin to collector pin of high-side transistor. Connect to power supply and input bypass capacitors CIN. Path from VIN pin to high-frequency bypass CIN and PWR_GND must be as short as possible.
6 NC unconnected No internal connection, but must be soldered to PCB for best heat transfer.
7 OUTPUT output Emitter pin of the power transistor. This is a switching node. Attach this pin to an inductor and the cathode of the external diode.
8 NC unconnected No internal connection, but must be soldered to PCB for best heat transfer.
