DESCRIPTION
Realized in BCD mixed technology, the device uses an internal power D-MOS transistor (with a typical Rdson of 0.25Ω) to obtain very high Figure 1. Packages DIP-8 Table 1. Order Codes Part Number L4978 L4978D L4978D013TR SO16W Package DIP-8 SO16 SO16 in Tape & Reel efficency and high switching speed. A switching frequency up to 300KHz is achievable (the maximum power dissipation of the packages must be observed). A wide input voltage range between 8V to 55V and output voltages regulated from 3.3V to 50V cover the majority of today’s applications.
