Description
The L7985/A is a step-down switching regulator
with a 2.5 A (minimum) current limited embedded
power MOSFET, so it is able to deliver up to 2 A
current to the load depending on the application
conditions. The input voltage can range from
4.5 V to 38 V, while the output voltage can be set
starting from 0.6 V to V_IN. Requiring a minimum
set of external components, the device includes
an internal 250 kHz switching frequency oscillator
that can be externally adjusted up to 1 MHz. The
QFN and the HSOP packages with exposed pad
allow the reduction of R_thJA down to 60 °C/W and
40 °C/W respectively.
