.. 2.5 A step-down switching regulator Preliminary Data Features - - - - - - - - - - 2.5 A DC output current 2.9 V to 18 V input voltage Output voltage adjustable from 0.6 V 250 k Hz switching frequency, programmable up to 1 MHz Internal soft-start and inhibit Low dropout operation: 100 % duty cycle Voltage feed-forward Zero load current operation Over current and thermal protection VFQFPN3x3-8L and HSOP8 package VFQFPN8 3x3 mm HSOP8 exposed pad Description The L5986 is a step down switching regulator with 3.0 A (minimum) current limited embedded power MOSFET, so it is able to deliver up to 2.5 A current to the load depending on the application conditions. The input voltage can range from 2.9 V to 18 V, while the output voltage can be set starting from 0.6 V to VIN. Having a minimum input voltage of 2.9 V, the device is suitable also for 3.3 V bus. Requiring a minimum set of external ponents, the device includes an internal 250 k Hz switching frequency oscillator that can be externally adjusted up to 1 MHz. The QFN and the HSOP packages with exposed pad allow reducing the Rth JA down to 60 °C/W and 40 °C/W respectively.
