Description
The L5985 is a step down switching regulator with
2.5A current limited embedded power MOSFET,
so it is able to deliver up to 2A DC current to the
load depending on the application condition.
■ Zero load current operation
■ Over current and thermal protection
■ VQFN3x3-8L package
The input voltage can range from 2.9V to 18V,
while the output voltage can be set starting from
