Description
GM7110 of regulators provides all the active functions for a step-
down (buck) switching regulator, and drives 1A load with excellent
line and load regulation. GM7110 is available in fixed output volt-
ages of 3.3V, 5V, 12V, 15V, and a versatile Adjustable output ver-
sion. These regulators are simple to use and require a minimum
number of external components.
Features include internal frequency compensation and a fixed-
frequency oscillator. GM7110 high-efficiency replacement for popu-
lar three-terminal linear regulators, and is requiring a smaller heat
sink or even no heat sink. GM7110 performs well with standard
inductors from several manufacturers, and simplifying the design
of switch-mode power supplies. GM7110 guarantees 鹵4% toler-
ance on output voltage within specified input voltages and output
load conditions, and 鹵10% on the oscillator frequency. External
shutdown is included with 50 碌A(chǔ) (typical) standby current. The
output switch has cycle-by-cycle current limiting as well as ther-
mal shutdown for full protection under fault conditions.
