Working Principles

The LM2575-12YN operates as a step-down switching regulator by using a pulse-width modulation (PWM) control scheme. It converts the higher input voltage into a lower output voltage by rapidly switching an internal NPN transistor on and off. This switching action, along with an inductor and a diode, efficiently transfers energy from the input to the output while maintaining regulation.
