Frequently Asked Questions
What is the input voltage range of the L5972D?
The L5972D accepts an input voltage from 4.4V minimum to 36V maximum, with a nominal design input of 12V. This wide range makes it suitable for automotive 12V and 24V battery systems, industrial 24V and 36V rails, and consumer power adapters, providing design flexibility across multiple market segments.
What control architecture does the L5972D use?
The L5972D uses voltage-mode PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) control, where the output voltage is sampled and compared to an internal reference to adjust the duty cycle of the internal power switch. Voltage-mode control simplifies external compensation design and provides robust regulation against input voltage and load transients.
What package does the L5972D come in and how many pins does it have?
The L5972D is housed in an 8-pin SOP (Small Outline Package) surface-mount package (JESD-30 R-PDSO-G8), which combines the PWM controller and integrated power switch in a compact footprint. This reduces the number of external components required and simplifies PCB layout for step-down converter designs.
What are typical applications for the L5972D?
The L5972D is widely used in point-of-load DC-DC converters for industrial controllers, automotive power modules, LED drivers, telecom equipment, and embedded computing boards. It is well suited for stepping down 12V or 24V system rails to the lower voltages needed by microcontrollers, FPGAs, memory devices, and communication ICs.
Is the L5972D RoHS compliant and what is the typical lead time?
Yes, the L5972D is RoHS compliant, indicated by its JESD-609 e4 code. The standard factory lead time is approximately 12 weeks, so designers should account for procurement lead time when planning production schedules and consider maintaining safety stock for high-volume or time-critical designs.
