DESCRIPTION The RH1959 is a 500kHz monolithic buck mode switching bipolar process and new design techniques achieve high regulator with an on-die 4.5A switch. It can accept inputs efficiency at high switching frequency. High efficiency is up to 16VIN to generate outputs as low as 1.21VOUT. All maintained over a wide output current range by keeping necessary circuitry including oscil ator, control logic, quiescent supply current to 4mA and by utilizing a boost comparators, error amplifiers, and reference are included capacitor to saturate the NPN power switch. Full cycle- on die, keeping solution size minimal and saving external by-cycle short-circuit protection and thermal shutdown components. High switching frequency allows a consid- are provided for safe operation in overload conditions. erable reduction in the size of external capacitors and A shutdown signal reduces supply current to 20µA while inductor. The topology is current mode for fast transient synchronization allows an external logic level signal to vary response and good loop stability. A special high speed adjust switching frequency between 580kHz and 1MHz.
