DC-DC CONVERTERS
switching regulator with a switch current limit of 2A so
it is able to deliver more than 1.5A 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 re-
duce the R
th(j-amb)
down to approximately 40擄C/W
The device uses an internal P-Channel D-MOS tran-
sistor (with a typical of 200m鈩? as switching element
to avoid the use of bootstrap capacitor and guarantee
high efficiency.
An internal oscillator fixes the switching frequency at
500KHz to minimize the size of external components.
Having a minimum input voltage of 4.4V only, it is
particularly suitable for 5V bus, available in all com-
puter related applications.
Pulse by pulse current limit with the internal frequen-
cy modulation offers an effective constant current
short circuit protection.
