Description
The L6932 Ultra Low Drop Output linear regulator
operates from 2V to 14V and is able to support
output current up to 2A. Designed with an internal
50mΩ N-channel Mosfet, it can be used for
onboard DC-DC conversions saving in real
estate, list of components, low noise generation
and power dissipation.
L6932H1.2 is available as adjustable version from
1.2V to 5V with a voltage regulation accuracy of
1%.
The upper current limit is fixed at 2.5A to control
the current in short circuit condition within ±8%.
The current is sensed in the power mos in order
to limit the power dissipation.
The device is also provided with a thermal shut
down that limits the internal temperature at 150°C
with a histeresys of 20°C. L6932H1.2 provides the
Enable and the Power good functions

Supply voltage. This pin is connected to the drain of the internal N-mos.
Connect this pin to a capacitor larger than 10µF.
Connecting this pin to a voltage divider it is possible to program the output
voltage between 1.2V and 5V.
Regulated output voltage. This pin is connected to the source of the internal Nmos. Connect this pin to a capacitor of 10µF.
Power good output. The pin is open drain and detects the output voltage. It is
forced low if the output voltage is lower than 90% of the programmed voltage.
