A7985A 2 A step-down switching regulator for automotive applications Datasheet - production data Applications Dedicated to automotive applications Automotive LED driving HSOP8 exposed pad Description The A7985A is a step-down switching regulator Features with a 2.5 A (minimum) current limited embedded power MOSFET, so it is able to deliver up to 2 A AEC-Q100 qualified (see PPAP current to the load depending on the application for more details) conditions. 2 A DC output current The input voltage can range from 4.5 V to 38 V, 4.5 V to 38 V input voltage while the output voltage can be set starting from Output voltage adjustable from 0.6 V 0.6 V to V . IN 250 kHz switching frequency, programmable Requiring a minimum set of external components, up to 1 MHz the device includes an internal 250 kHz switching Internal soft-start and enable frequency oscillator that can be externally adjusted up to 1 MHz. Low dropout operation: 100% duty cycle The HSOP8 package with exposed pad allows Voltage feed-forward the reduction of R down to 40 C/W. th(JA) Zero load current operation Overcurrent and thermal protection HSOP8 package Figure 1.
