UNISEM US3036
The US3036 IC provides an 8 pin low cost switching controller with true short circuit protection all in a compact 8 pin surface mount package, providing a low cost switching solution for applications that require a simple switching regulator from the 5V input where there is no other supply available. The IC starts below 4.5V supply and drives an external Pch MOSFET or and external low cost PNP as the switching element. The IC also includes an error comparator for fast transient response, a precise voltage reference for setting the output voltage as well as a direct drive of the MOSFET for the minimum part count.
