DESCRIPTION
The LX2172/73 are fixed-frequency, cur-
rent-mode switching regulator integrated
circuits. These ICs contain all necessary
control circuitry plus a 1.25A on-board
transistor to design a complete DC:DC
switching regulator with minimum exter-
nal components.
All functions are integrated into a single
IC, available in 8-pin DIP and SOIC or a
5-pin TO-220 power package, making
them extremely easy to design with and
use. The LX2172/73 are optimized for
boost and flyback applications, but can
also be used in forward and inverting
converter configuations.
The LX2172 can be connected to an
external clock for synchronization, and
can enter micropower operation when
the V
C
pin is pulled low. The LX2173
has an enable function, which permits
extremely low micropower operation,
consuming under 10碌A current when the
ENABLE pin is brought low.
