L7987
61 V 3 A asynchronous step-down switching regulator with
adjustable current limitation
Datasheet - production data
Description
The L7987 device is a step-down monolithic
switching regulator able to deliver up to 3 A DC.
The output voltage adjustability ranges from 0.8 V
to V . The wide input voltage range and the

100% duty cycle capability meet the fail safe
specifications for industrial systems. The

adjustable current limitation, designed to select
the inductor RMS current accordingly with the
nominal output current, and the high switching

the stress of the power components in heavy
short-circuit condition. The PGOOD open
collector output can also implement output
voltage sequencing during the power-up phase.
Multiple devices can be synchronized sharing the
