DESCRIPTION
The L4974Aisa stepdownmonolithicpower switch-
ing regulator delivering 3.5A at a voltage variable
from 5.1 to 40V.
Realized with BCD mixed technology, the device
uses a DMOS output transistor to obtain very high
efficiency and very fast switching times. Features of
the L4974A include reset and power fail for micro-
processors, feed forward line regulation, soft start,
limiting current and thermal protection. The device
is mountedin a Powerdip16 + 2 + 2 plastic package
and requires few external components. Efficient
operation at switching frequencies up to 200KHz
allows reductionin the size and cost of externalfilter
component.
