L5972D
2A switch step down switching regulator
Features
■
2A internal switch
■
Operating input voltage from 4.4V to 36V
■
Output voltage adjustable from 1.235V to 35V
■
Low dropout operation: 100% duty cycle
■
250kHz Internally fixed frequency
■
Voltage feedforward
Description
■
Zero load current operation
■
Internal current limiting
■
Protection against feedback disconnection
■
Thermal shutdown
The L5972D is a step down monolithic power
switching regulator with a minimum 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.
SO8
The output voltage can be set from 1.235V to 35V.
Applications
■
Consumer: STB, DVD, TV, VCR, car radio,
LCD monitors
■
Networking: XDSL, modems, DC-DC modules
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.
■
Computer: printers, audio/graphic cards,
optical storage, hard disk drive
An internal oscillator fixes the switching frequency
at 250kHz.
■
Industrial: changers, car battery, DC-DC
converters
Having a minimum input voltage of 4.4V only, it is
particularly suitable for 5V bus, available in all
computer related applications.
Figure 1.
Pulse by pulse current limit with the internal
frequency modulation offers an effective constant
current short circuit protection.
