STMicroelectronics L5970D Up to 1A Step Down Switching Regulator Datasheet
The L5970D is a step-down monolithic power switching regulator capable of delivering up to 1A at output voltages ranging from 1.2V to 35V. It utilizes an internal P-Channel D-MOS transistor with a typical Rdson of 250mΩ to minimize the size of external components. The device operates with an internally fixed switching frequency of 250kHz and supports a minimum input voltage of 4.4V, making it suitable for 5V bus applications.
