APW1173 - adjustable from 1.235V to 20V

Applications

The APW 1173 is a step down monolithic power

switching regulator with a switching current limit of

3.8A so it is able to deliver more than 2A DC current to

the load depending on the application conditions.

The output voltage can be set from 1.235V to 22V.The

high current level is also achieved utilize an SO8

package with exposed pad frame. The type of package

allows to re-duce the Rth (j-amb) down to approximately

45

An internal oscillator fixes the switching frequency at

500KHz.

Having a minimum input voltage of 4.8V only, it is

particularly suitable for 5V bus, available in all computer

related applications.

Pulse by pulse current limit with the internal frequency

modulation offers an effective constant current short.

circuit protection.
