Description
The A5972D is a step down monolithic power
switching regulator with a minimum switch current
limit of 2 A so it is able to deliver more than 1.5 A
DC current to the load depending on the
application conditions.
The output voltage can be set from 1.235 V
to 35 V. The device uses an internal P-channel D-
MOS transistor (with a typical Rdson of 250 m鈩?
as switching element to minimize the size of the
external components.
An internal oscillator fixes the switching frequency
at 250 kHz.
Having a minimum input voltage of 4.4 V only, it is
particularly suitable for 5 V bus.
Pulse by pulse current limit with the internal
frequency modulation offers an effective constant
current short circuit protection.
