Description
The L7987L device is a step-down monolithic
switching regulator able to deliver up to 2 A DC.
The output voltage adjustability ranges from 0.8 V
to almost VIN. The embedded switchover feature
on the VBIAS pin maximizes the efficiency at light
load. The adjustable current limitation, designed
to select the inductor RMS current accordingly
with the nominal output current, and the high
switching frequency capability make the size of
the application compact. Pulse-by-pulse current
sensing with digital frequency foldback
implements an effective constant current
protection over the different application
conditions. The peak current foldback decreases
the stress of the power components in heavy
short-circuit condition. The PGOOD open
collector output can also implement output
voltage sequencing during the power-up phase.
Multiple devices can be synchronized sharing the
SYNCH pin to prevent beating noise in low noise
applications like sensors with A/D conversion.
Applications
 Designed for 24 V bus
 Fail safe tolerant systems
 Programmable logic controllers (PLCs)
