L7985 2 A step-down switching regulator Datasheet - production data Applications Consumer: STB, DVD, DVD recorder, car audio, LCD TV and monitors Industrial: PLD, PLA, FPGA, chargers VFDFPN10 3 x 3 mm Networking: XDSL, modems, DC-DC modules Computer: optical storage, hard disk drive, HSOP8 exp. pad printers, audio/graphic cards LED driving Features Description 2 A DC output current The L7985/A is a step-down switching regulator 4.5 V to 38 V input voltage with a 2.5 A (minimum) current limited embedded Output voltage adjustable from 0.6 V power MOSFET, so it is able to deliver up to 2 A 250 kHz switching frequency, programmable current to the load depending on the application up to 1 MHz conditions. The input voltage can range from 4.5 V to 38 V, while the output voltage can be set Internal soft-start and enable starting from 0.6 V to V . Requiring a minimum IN Low dropout operation: 100% duty cycle set of external components, the device includes Voltage feed-forward an internal 250 kHz switching frequency oscillator that can be externally adjusted up to 1 MHz. The Zero load current operation DFN and the HSOP packages with exposed pad Overcurrent and thermal protection allow the reduction of R down to 60 C/W and thJA VFDFPN 3x3 - 10L and HSOP8 package 40 C/W respectively.
