and load regulation characteristics. High efficiency
(>90%) is obtained through the use of a low ON-
Over a Range of 2A to 5A
resistance DMOS power switch. The series consists
150 mΩ DMOS Output Switch
of fixed output voltages of 3.3V, 5V and 12V and an
3.3V, 5V and 12V Fixed Output and Adjustable
adjustable output version.
