® 10A SWITCHING REGULATOR 10A OUTPUT CURRENT 5.1V TO 40V OUTPUT VOLTAGE RANGE 0 TO 90% DUTY CYCLE RANGE INTERNAL FEED-FORWARD LINE REGULATION INTERNAL CURRENT LIMITING PRECISE 5.1V ± 2% ON CHIP REFERENCE RESET AND POWER FAIL FUNCTIONS SOFT START INPUT/OUTPUT SYNC PIN UNDER VOLTAGE LOCK OUT WITH HYSTERETIC TURN-ON PWM LATCH FOR SINGLE PULSE PER PERIOD VERY HIGH EFFICIENCY SWITCHING FREQUENCY UP TO 500KHz THERMAL SHUTDOWN CONTINUOUS MODE OPERATION DESCRIPTION The L4970A is a stepdown monolithic power switching regulator delivering 10A at a voltage variable from 5.1 to 40V. BLOCK DIAGRAM MULTIPOWER BCD TECHNOLOGY Multiwatt15V ORDERING NUMBER: L4970A Realized with BCD mixed technology, the device uses a DMOS output transistor to obtain very high efficiency and very fast switching times. Features of the L4970A include reset and power fail for microprocessors, feed forward line regulation, soft start, limiting current and thermal protection. The device is mounted in a 15-lead multiwatt plastic power package and requires few external ponents. Efficient operation at switching frequencies up to 500KHz allows reduction in the size and cost of external filter ponents.
