STMicroelectronics A5970AD

Beschreibung

The A5970AD is a step-down monolithic power switching regulator with a minimum switch current limit of 1.35 A so it is able to deliver up to 1 A DCcurrent to the load depending on the application conditions. The output voltage can be set from 1.235 V to VIN.

The device uses an internal P-channel DMOS transistor (with a typical RDS(on) of 250 m) as switching element to minimize the size of the external components.

An internal oscillator fixes the switching frequency at 500 kHz. Having a minimum input voltage of 4 V only it fits the automotive applicationsrequiring the device operation even in cold crank conditions. Pulse by pulse current limit with the internal frequency modulation offers an effectiveconstant current short-circuit protection.
