uses an internal power D-MOS transistor (with a
typicalRdson of 0.15ohm) to obtain very high efficiencyand very fast switching times.
Switching frequencyup to 300KHzare achievable
(the maximum power dissipation of the packages
mustbe observed).
A wide input voltage range between 8V to 55V
and output voltages regulated from 3.3V to 40V
coverthe majorityof thetoday applications.
