DESCRIPTION(continued)
(DAC) allows to adjust the output voltage from
1.3V to 2.05V with 0.05V binary steps and from
2.1V to 3.5V with 0.1V binary steps. The high precision internal reference, digitally trimmed, assures the selected output voltage to within +/-1%.
Thanks to thewindow comparatorsystem,the device provides excellent load transient performance. The high peak current gate drive affords to

have fast switching to the external power mos,
performing an high efficiency. The L6911B assures a fast protection against load overvoltage
and load overcurrent. An external SCR is triggered to crowbar the input supply in case of overvoltage. In case of output short circuit the soft
start capacitor is discharged and the system
works inhiccup mode.
