DESCRIPTION The L5970D is a step down monolithic power switching regulator capable to deliver up to 1A at output voltages from 1.2V to 35V. The device uses an internal P-Channel D-MOS transistor (with a typical Rdson of 250m) 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 4.4V only, it is particularly suitable for 5V 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.

APPLICATIONS: I CONSUMER: STB, DVD, TV, VCR,CAR RADIO, LCD MONITORS I NETWORKING: XDSL, MODEMS,DC-DC MODULES I COMPUTER: PRINTERS, AUDIO/GRAPHIC CARDS, OPTICAL STORAGE, HARD DISK DRIVE I INDUSTRIAL: CHARGERS, CAR BATTERY DC-DC CONVERTERS TEST APPLICATION CIRCUIT

When it is open an internal pull-up disable the device. E/A output for frequency compensation. Feedback input. Connecting directly to this pin results in an output voltage of 1.23V. An external resistive divider is required for higher output voltages. 3.3V VREF. No cap is requested for stability. Ground. Unregulated DC input voltage. Description
