STMicroelectronics L6902D
The L6902D is a complete and simple step down switching regulator with adjustable current limit. By means of an on board current sense resistor and the availability of the current sense pins (both compatible to Vcc and for Cs- compatible with GND too) a current limit programming is very simple and accurate (±5%). The device can be used as a standard DC/DC converter with adjustable current limit (set by using the external sense resistor).FEATURES

DESCRIPTION
Based on a voltage mode structure it integrates a current error amplifier to have a constant voltage and constant current control. Moreover constant SO-8 current control can be used to charge NiMH and NiCd batteries. The internal robust P-channel DMOS transistor with a typical of 250 mΩ assures high efficiency and a minimum dropout even at high output current level.
