DESCRIPTION

The L4974Aisa step down monolithic power switch ing regulator delivering 3.5A at a voltage variable from 5.1 to 40V.

Realized with BCD mixed technology, the device uses a DMOS output transistor to obtain very high efficiencyand very fastswitching times. Features of the L4974A include reset and power fail for micro processors, feed forward line regulation, soft start, limiting current and thermal protection. The device is mountedin a Powerdip16 + 2 + 2 plastic package and requires few external components. Efficient operation at switching frequencies up to 200KHz allows reductionin the size and cost of externalfilter component.
