The L4973 family is a 3.5A monolithic step-down dc-dc converter, available in POWERDIP18( 12+3+3) and SO20L (12+4+4) plastic packages. The operating input supply voltage range is from 8V to 55V, and the output ranges from 3.3V (L4973D3.3) and 5.1V(L4973D5.1) to 40V. Other regulated outputs below 3.3V are also possible (See Application Note AN938). Using two L4973D is possible to deliver up to 7A with a good sharing between the two sections or a re- dundant 3.5A. The two devices work at a switching frequency of 200kHz. At Vcc = 24V, Vo = 5.1V at 7A the efficiency is 87%. At 3.5A output, the efficiency is 90%.
