52kHz Simple.5A Buck Regulator General Description The family is a series of easy to use fixed and adjustable switching voltage regulators. The contains all of the active circuitry necessary to construct a stepdown (buck) switching regulator and requires a minimum of external components. The is available in 3.3V and 5V fixed output versions, or an adjustable version with an output voltage range of 1.23V to 37V. Output voltage is guaranteed to ±4% for specified input and load conditions. The can supply.5a while maintaining excellent line and load regulation. The output switch includes cycleby-cycle current limiting, as well as thermal shutdown for full protection under fault conditions. An external shutdown connection selects operating or standby modes. Standby current is less than 2µA. Heat sinks are generally unnecessary due the regulator s high efficiency. Adequate heat transfer is usually provided by soldering all package pins to a printed circuit board. The includes internal frequency compensation and an internal 52kHz fixed frequency oscillator guaranteed to ±1% of the frequency. Circuits constructed around the use a standard series of inductors which are available from several different manufacturers. All support documentation can be found on Micrel s web site at www.micrel.com. Features 3.3V, 5V, 12V, and adjustable output versions Adjustable version output 1.23V to 37V ±4% max. over line and load conditions. Guaranteed.5A output current Wide input voltage, up to 4V Thermal shutdown and current limit protection Requires only 4 external components.

Operating Ratings indicate for which the device is intended to be functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see Electrical Characteristics. 2. All limits guaranteed at room temperature (standard type face) and at temperature extremes (bold type face). All room temperature limits are 1% production tested. All limits at temperature extremes are guaranteed via testing. 3. External components such as the catch diode, inductor, input and output capacitors can affect switching regulator system performance. When the is used as shown in Figure 1 test circuit, system performance will be shown in system parameters section of Electrical Characteristics. July 25 3 M9999-7285
