Texas Instruments DC-DC Switching Buck Step Down Regulator Adjustable SOIC-8 - 6.5V 40V in 1.21V 37V 1A

The Texas Instruments DC-DC Switching Buck Step Down Regulator is a monolithic integrated circuit built with a LMDMOS process, providing all the active functions for a step-down switching regulator. Designed for simplicity and high efficiency, it requires a minimum number of external components to operate, making it exceptionally easy to implement into your power management designs.

Featuring patented internal frequency compensation and a fixed frequency oscillator, this regulator operates at a switching frequency of 260kHz. This higher frequency allows for the use of smaller sized filter components compared to lower frequency alternatives, saving valuable board space. The device boasts very high efficiency, meaning the copper traces on the printed circuit board provide the only heat sinking required, simplifying thermal management.

Key Features

• High efficiency of up to 96 per cent
• Requires only five external components
• Uses readily available standard inductors
• Tight output voltage tolerance over line and load conditions
• Guaranteed output load current
• DMOS output switch
• 260kHz fixed frequency internal oscillator
• TTL shutdown capability with low power standby mode
