INTERNAL FEED-FORWARD LINE REG INTERNAL CURRENT LIMITING . PRECISE 5.1V 2% ON CHIP REFERENCE . RESET AND POWER FAIL FUNCTIONS . INPUT/OUTPUT SYNC PIN .UNDER VOLTAGE LOCK OUT WITH HYS- TERETIC TURN-ON . PWM LATCH FOR SINGLE PULSE PER PE- POWERDIP (16 + 2 + 2) RIOD . VERY HIGH EFFICIENCY . SWITCHING FREQUENCY UP TO 200KHz ORDERING NUMBER : L4974A . THERMAL SHUTDOWN . CONTINUOUS MODE OPERATION the L4974A include reset and power fail for micro- DESCRIPTION processors, feed forward line regulation, soft start, The L4974A is a stepdown monolithic power switch- limiting current and thermal protection. The device ing regulator delivering 3.5A at a voltage variable is mounted in a Powerdip 16 + 2 + 2 plastic package from 5.1 to 40V. and requires few external components. Efficient Realized with BCD mixed technology, the device operation at switching frequencies up to 200KHz uses a DMOS output transistor to obtain very high allows reduction in the size and cost of external filter efficiency and very fast switching times.
