LT1374IS8

4.5A, 500kHz Step-Down Switching Regulator

DESCRIPTION

The LT® 1374 is a 500kHz monolithic buck mode switching regulator. A 4.5A switch is included on the die along with all the necessary oscillator, control and logic circuitry. High switching frequency allows a considerable reduction in the size of external components. The topology is current mode for fast transient response and good loop stability. Both fixed output voltage and adjustable parts are available.
