rent 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 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 250m assures high efficiency and a minimum dropout even at high output current level. The internal limiting current (latched function) of typical value of 2.5A protects the device from accidental output short circuit avoiding dangerous loads damage. If the temperature of the chip goes higher than a fixed internal threshold (150C with 20C hysteresis), the power stage is turned off.

DESCRIPTION (Continued) 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. 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. PIN CONNECTION
