DESCRIPTION
The L4976 is a step down monolithic power
switching regulator delivering 1A at a voltage be-
tween 3.3V and 50V (selected by a simple exter-
nal divider). Realized in BCD mixed technology,
the device uses an internal power D-MOS transis-
tor (with a typical Rdson of 0.25Ω) to obtain very
high efficency and high switching speed.
A switching frequency up to 250KHz is achiev-
able (the maximum power dissipation of the pack-

ages must be observed).
A wide input voltage range between 8V to 55V
and output voltages regulated from 3.3V to 40V
cover the majority of today’s applications.
Features of this new generations of DC-DC con-
verter include pulse-by-pulse current limit, hiccup
mode for short circuit protection, voltage feedfor-
ward regulation, protection against feedback loop
disconnection and thermal shutdown.
The device is available in plastic dual in line,
MINIDIP 8 for standard assembly, and SO16W
for SMD assembly.
