The L4972A is a 2A monolithic stepdown switching regulator working in continuous mode realized in the
new BCD Technology. This technology allows the integration of isolated vertical DMOS power transistors
plus mixed CMOS/Bipolar transistors.
The device can deliver 2A at an output voltage adjustable from 5.1V to 40V and contains diagnostic and
control functions that make it particularly suitable for microprocessor based systems.
3.1 BLOCK DIAGRAM
The block diagram shows the DMOS power transistors and the PWM control loop. Integrated functions
include a reference voltage trimmed to 5.1V ± 2%, soft start, undervoltage lockout, oscillator with feedfor-
ward control, pulse by pulse current limit, thermal shutdown and finally the reset and power fail circuit. The
reset and power fail circuit provides an output signal for a microprocessor indicating the status of the sys-
tem.
Device turn on is around 11V with a typical 1V hysterysis, this threshold porvides a correct voltage for the
driving stage of the DMOS gate and the hysterysis prevents instabilities.
An external bootstrap capacitor charge to 12V by an internal voltage reference is needed to provide cor-
rect gate drive to the power DMOS. The driving circuit is able to source and sink peak currents of around
0.5A to the gate of the DMOS transistor. A typical switching time of the current in the DMOS transistor is
50ns. Due to the fast commutation switching frequencies up to 200kHz are possible.
The PWM control loop consists of a sawtooth oscillator, error amplifier, comparator, latch and the output
