L4960 Datasheet PDF - ST Microelectronics

●The L4960 is a Monolithic Power Switching Regulator IC delivering 2.5A at a voltage variable from 5 to 40V in step down configuration. Efficient operation at switching frequencies up to 150kHz allows a reduction in the size and cost of external filter components. This device is particularly suitable for battery-powered equipment, reducing consumption and prolonging battery-life. Each type employs internal current limiting, anti-saturation circuit, thermal shutdown and safe area protection.
