DESCRIPTION
The L6902D is a complete and simple step down
switching regulator with adjustable current limit.
Based on a voltage mode structure it integrates a cur-

rent error amplifier to have a constant voltage and constant cu rrent control.
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%). Moreover constant current control can be
used to charge NiMH and NiCd batteries.
The device can be used as a standard DC/DC converter with adjustable current limit (set by using the
external sense resistor).
The internal robust P-Channel DMOS transistor with a
typical of 250m
mum dropout even at high output current level. The internal limiting current (latched function) of typical value
of 2.5A protect s the device from accidental output short
circuit avoiding dangerous loads damage.
If the temperature of the chip goes hi gher than a fixed
internal threshold (150°C with 20°C hysteresis), the
power stage is turned off.

Other protections beside thermal shutdow n compl ete the device for a safe and r eli able appli cation: overv oltage
protection, frequency folback overcurrent protection and protection vs. feedback disconnection.
The internal fixed switching frequency of 250KHz, and the SO-8 package pin allow to built an ultra compact DC/
DC converter with a minimum board space.
