L6738A Overview
Capsuled in the 16-VFQFN Exposed Pad package, the switching controller can be used for a wide range of applications. 1 outputs can be generated with the dc motor controller. The pmic is packaged in Tube solid enclosure. Transistor Driver dc switching's outputs (s) are supported. 5V~12V is the operating voltage and supply voltage of the dc control. Suitable for a -40°C~125°C TJ dc switcher. A generalization of dc dc regulator can be made using Surface Mount. Enable, Frequency Control, Phase Control, Power Good provides dcdc regulator efficient switching control. The switch converters are connected to a SWITCHING CONTROLLER analog IC. There are a QUAD terminal on the switching converters. 16 terminations with a variety of function. To name a few of the control techniques these dc dc converter ics adapt, it includes PULSE WIDTH MODULATION. A search for "L6738" will reveal other relevant dc to dc converter ics. There are 16 pins on switching converter. Switching converter is a type of Switching Regulator or Controllers in particular. 5V should be the minimum input voltage for the dc dc voltage regulator. A duty cycle set at 100 % ensures voltage regulator dc to dc reliability during power-on and power-off. The Surface Mount makes DC switcher suitable for most applications and prototypes. 200kHz is the frequency of the switching controller. A dc switcher can only produce an output current of 9mA. The supply current of the voltage controller is 9mA.
