Description
The A6902D is a complete and simple step down switching regulator with adjustable current limit. Based on a voltage mode structure it integrates a current error amplifier to have a constant voltage and constant current control. By means of an on board current sense resistor and the availability of the current sense pins (both compatible to Vcc and for Cscompatible with GND too) a current limit programming is very simple and accurate. Moreover constant current control can be used to charge NiMH and NiCd batteries.The device can be used as a standard DC/DC converter with adjustable current limit (set by using the external sense resistor). The internal robust P-channel DMOS transistor with a typical of 250 mΩ assures high efficiency and a minimum dropout even at high output current level. The internal limiting current (latched function) of typical value of 2.5 A protects the device from accidental output short circuit avoiding dangerous loads damage. If the temperature of the chip goes higher than a fixed internal threshold (150 °C with 20 °C hysteresis), the power stage is turned off.
