Description
The A5973D is a step down monolithic power
switching regulator with a minimum switch current
limit of 2.5A so it is able to deliver more than 2A
DC current to the load depending on the
application conditions. The output voltage can be
set from 1.235V to 35V. The high current level is
also achieved thanks to an SO8 package with
exposed frame, that allows to reduce the
R
th(JA)
down to approximately 40擄C/W. The
device uses an internal P-channel D-MOS
transistor (with a typical Rdson of 250m鈩? as
switching element to minimize the size of the
external components. An internal oscillator fixes
the switching frequency at 250kHz. Having a
minimum input voltage of 4V only, it is particularly
suitable for 5V bus. Pulse by pulse current limit
with the internal frequency modulation offers an
effective constant current short circuit protection.
