Description
Features
L5963 is a dual step-down switching regulator
with internal power switches, high side driver and
a low drop-out linear regulator that can operate as
standby regulator or normal LDO.
Two step-down synchronous switching voltage
regulators with internal power switches:
–
Wide input voltage range (from 3.5 V to 26 V)
All the regulators can be connected directly to the
vehicle battery. In addition to an adjustable
voltage detector, voltage supervisors are
available.
– Internal high-side/ low-side NDMOS
– 1 V minimum output
– 3.0 A load current
– 250 kHz free-run frequency
– 250 kHz < f < 2 MHz synchronization range
– Integrated soft-start
– Independent hardware enable pins
– Independent power supply
– 180° PWM output phase shift
– Programmable switching frequency divider
by 1, 2, 4 or 8 between the two DC/DC
regulators
The two DC-DC converters can work in free-run
condition or synchronize themselves to an
external clock. DC/DCs' PWM outputs have a
180° phase shift.
The high operating frequency allowed by the
synchronization input helps to reduce AM and FM
interferences and grants the use of small and low
cost inductors and capacitors.
– Power good function
This IC finds application in the automotive
segment, where load dump protection and wide
input voltage range are mandatory.
One standby / linear regulator
– Output voltage programmable with external
resistor divider
A slug-up package option is available for
applications which require heatsink use.
– 250 mA maximum current capability
– Backup function
– Power good function
In standby condition the device guarantees
extremely low quiescent current (25 μA typical @
-40 °C < T < 85 °C)
One high side driver
– 0.5 V max drop @ 0.5 A
