L4973V3.3 Datasheet PDF - ST Microelectronics

●DESCRIPTION

●The L4973 is a step down monolithic power switching regulator delivering 3.5A at fixed voltages of 3.3V or 5.1V and using a simple external divider output adjustable voltage up to 50V.

●Realized in BCD mixed technology, the device uses an internal power D-MOS transistor (with a typical Rdson of 0.15ohm) to obtain very high efficiency and very fast switching times.

●Switching frequency up to 300KHz are achievable (the maximum power dissipation of the packages 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 the today applications.
