MC34063E

DESCRIPTION

The MC34063A/E series is a monolithic control
circuit delivering the main functions for DC/DC
voltage converting.
The device contains an internal temperature
compensated reference, comparator, duty cycle
controlled oscillator with an active current limit
circuit, driver and high current output switch.
Output v oltage is adjustable through two external
resistors with a 2% reference accuracy.
Employing a minimum number of ex ternal
components the MC34063A /E de vice s series is
designed for Step-Down, Step-Up and
Voltage-Inverting applications.

NOTES:

1) Maximum package power dissipation limit must beobserved.

2) T

LOW

3) If Darlington configuration is not used, care must be taken to avoid deep saturation of output switch. The resulting switch-off time may be
adversely affected. In a Darlington configuration the following output driver condition is suggested:
Forced
* Current lessdue to a built in 1KΩ anti leakage resistor.

4) Start-up Voltage is the minimum PowerSupply Voltag e at which the internal oscillator b egins to work.
