Is there a pin-compatible replacement for LM2576HVS-5.0(UMW)?

No, a verified pin-to-pin replacement is not available. While LM2596HVS-5.0 shares the package, its different switching frequency (150kHz vs 52kHz) means it is not a drop-in replacement and requires changing external components.

What risks should I check before replacing LM2576HVS-5.0(UMW)?

The main risks are mismatched input voltage and switching frequency. The 'HV' in the part number signifies a 60V rating; many alternatives are limited to 40V. A different frequency will require recalculating inductor and capacitor values.

Finding a substitute for the LM2576HVS-5.0(UMW) 3A, 60V buck regulator requires careful attention to input voltage and switching frequency. While several parts offer similar output, few match the high-voltage capability without other trade-offs.

AI replacement insight

Electrical riskhigh

Mismatched max input voltage or switching frequency requires careful review.

Package risklow

Most candidates use a compatible TO-263 style package, but verification is advised.

Can it be replaced directly?

No direct drop-in replacement exists. All candidates have critical differences in either input voltage or switching frequency.

Best replacement path

If Vin < 40V, use LM2576S-5.0. If Vin > 40V, use LM2596HVS-5.0 but redesign passives for 150kHz operation.

Main risk

The primary risk is substituting with a standard 40V regulator in a system designed for the target's 60V input, leading to device failure.

Recommended alternatives

Functional alternative in the same package with matching voltage/current ratings but a different switching frequency (150kHz).
