L6902 Up to 1 A switching regulator with adjustable current limit Features Up to 1 A output current Operating input voltage from 8 V to 36 V Precise 3.3 V (2%) reference voltage 5 % output current accuracy Output voltage adjustable from 1.235 V to 34 V 250 kHz internally fixed frequency Voltage feedforward Zero load current operation Adjustable current limit Protection against feedback Disconnection Thermal shutdown 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 250 m assures high efficiency and a minimum dropout even at high output current level. The internal limiting current (latched function) of typical value of 2.5 A protects the device from accidental output short circuit avoiding dangerous loads damage. Applications Chargers for NiCd, NiMH batteries and preregulator for lithium-ion batteries Adjustable current generator Simple step-down converters with adjustable current limit Battery equipped systems Distributed power supply Mobile PC and subnotebook If the temperature of the chip goes higher than a fixed internal threshold (150C with 20C hysteresis), the power stage is turned off. Other protections beside thermal shutdown complete the device for a safe and reliable application: overvoltage protection, frequency folback overcurrent protection and protection vs. feedback disconnection. 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 current error amplifier to have a constant voltage and constant current 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 November 2010 SO-8 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. Table 1.
