STMicroelectronics L296 Manuals

The L296 is a high current switching regulator produced by Linear Technology, which can output 4A of current, with an output voltage range from 5.1V to 40V, supporting 0 to 100% duty cycle, precision of ±2%, switching frequency up to 200KHz, efficiency up to 90%, very few external components, soft start, reset output, external programmable limiting current (L296P), control circuit for Crowbar SCR, input for remote inhibit and synchronous PWM, and thermal shutdown.

L296 is a power switching regulator that can power microprocessors. The output voltage is 5.1V to 40V and the current is 4A

L296 and L4960 high power switching regulators can be used to realize multiple output power supplies. This note describes several practical circuits of this type.
