The ST730A is a 5V output CMOS, step-down
switching regulator. The ST730A accepts inputs
between 5.2V and 11V and delivers 450mA.
Typical efficiencies are 85% to 96%.
Quiescent supply current is0.8mA and o nly 0.3µA
in shutdown mode. The output does not exhibit
frequency over this specified range. Pulse-width
modulation (PWM) current-mode control provides

precise o utput regulation and excellent transient
responses.Outputvoltageaccuracyis
guaranteed to be ±5% over line, load, and
temperature varations.
Fixed-frequencyswitchingandabsenceof
subharmonic ruipple allows ea sy filtering of out put
ripple and noise, as well as the use of small
external components. This regul ators require only
a s ingle inductorvalue towork inmost
applications, so no inductor design is necessary.
Typical applications are: Cellular phones & radios,
portable Ins t ru ments, Portable Communications
Equipments and Computer Peripherals.
