Description
The L5973D is a step down monolithic power
switching regulator with a minimum switch current
limit of 2.5 A so it is able to deliver more than 2 A
DC current to the load depending on the
application conditions.
The output voltage can be set from 1.235 V to
35 V. The high current level is also achieved
thanks to an SO8 package with exposed frame,
that allows to reduce the Rth(j-amb) down to
approximately 40 °C/W.
The device uses an internal P-channel D-MOS
transistor (with a typical Rdson of 250 mΩ) as
switching element to minimize the size of the
external components.
An internal oscillator fixes the switching frequency
at 250 kHz.
Having a minimum input voltage of 4 V only, it is
particularly suitable for 5 V bus, available in all
computer related applications.
Pulse by pulse current limit with the internal
frequency modulation offers an effective constant
current short circuit protection.
