DESCRIPTION
The ST750A is an adjustable output CMOS,
step-down switching regulator. The ST750A
accepts inputs between 4V and 1 1V and delivers
450mA. Typical efficiencies are 85% to 96%.
Quiescent supply current is 0.8mA and only 0.3µA
in shutdown mode. The output does not exhibit
frequency over th is specified range. Pulse-width
modulation (PWM) current-mode control provides

ADJUSTABLE STEP-DOWN,
DIP-8 SO-8
precise output regulation and excellent transient
responses. Output voltage accuracy is
guaranteed to be ±4.5% plus feedback resistor
tolerance over line, load, and temperature
varations.
Fixed-frequency switching and absenc e of
subharmonic ruipple allows easy filtering of output
ripple and noise, as well as the use of smal l
external components. This regul ators requi re o nly
a s ingle inductor value to work in most
applications, so no inductor design is necessary.
Typical applications are: Cellular phones & radios,
portable Instruments, Porta ble Communications
Equipments and Computer Peripherals.
