Description
The A5973AD is a step-down monolithic power
switching regulator with a minimum switch current
limit of 1.8 A, so it is able to deliver up to 1.5 A DC
current to the load depending on the application
conditions. The output voltage can be set from
1.235 V to V
IN
. The high current level is also
achieved thanks to an HSOP8 package with an
exposed frame, that allows to reduce the R
th(JA)
down to approximately 40 °C/W. The device uses
an internal P-channel DMOS transistor (with
a typical R
DS(on)
of 250 m) as a switching
element to minimize the size of the external
components. An internal oscillator fixes the
switching frequency at 500 kHz. Having
a minimum input voltage of 4 V only it fits the
automotive applications requiring the device
operation even in cold crank conditions. A pulse-
by-pulse current limit with the internal frequency
modulation offers an effective constant current
short-circuit protection.
