A5973D 2.5A switch step down switching regulator for automotive applications Features ■ Qualified following the AEC-Q100 requirements (temperature Grade 3), see PPAP for more details. Temperature range -40°C to 85°C 2A DC output current Operating input voltage from 4V to 36V 3.3V / (±2%) reference voltage Output voltage adjustable from 1.235V to 35V Low dropout operation: 100% duty cycle 250kHz Internally fixed frequency Voltage feedforward Zero load current operation Internal current limiting Inhibit for zero current consumption Synchronization Protection against feedback disconnection Thermal shutdown HSOP8 exposed pad ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ 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 Rth(JA) down to approximately 40°C/W. The device uses an internal P-channel D-MOS transistor (with a typical Rdson of 250mΩ) 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.
