DESCRIPTION
The ST730A is a 5V output CMOS, step-down
switching regulator. The ST730A accepts inputs
between 5.2V and 11V and delivers 450mA.
Typical efficiencies are 85% to 96%.
Quiescent supply current is 0.8mA and only 0.3碌A
in shutdown mode. The output does not exhibit
frequency over this specified range. Pulse-width
modulation (PWM) current-mode control provides

precise output regulation and excellent transient
responses.
Output

accuracy
is
guaranteed to be 鹵5% over line, load, and
temperature varations.
Fixed-frequency switching and absence of
subharmonic ruipple allows easy filtering of output
ripple and noise, as well as the use of small
external components. This regulators require only
a single inductor value to work in most
applications, so no inductor design is necessary.
Typical applications are: Cellular phones & radios,
portable Instruments, Portable Communications
Equipments and Computer Peripherals.
