Description
The A5970D is a step down monolithic power
switching regulator capable to deliver up to 1 A at
output voltages from 1.2 V to 35 V.
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 4.4 V only, it is
particularly suitable for 5 V bus.
Pulse by pulse current limit with the internal
frequency modulation offers an effective constant
current short circuit protection.
