The LM2736YMK/NOPB is a highly efficient, high voltage, step-down switching regulator designed for powering low voltage circuits from a higher voltage source. Manufactured by Texas Instruments, it offers a range of unique features and benefits.
One key feature of the LM2736YMK/NOPB is its wide input voltage range, which can handle inputs from 4V to 20V. This capability allows it to be used in a variety of applications where the input voltage may vary significantly. The regulator can deliver a maximum output current of 3A, making it suitable for powering a wide range of loads.
Another important feature is its high efficiency, which is achieved through a synchronous rectification topology. By minimizing power dissipation, the LM2736YMK/NOPB ensures a longer battery life in portable devices and reduced heat generation in power-hungry applications. Its efficiency of up to 95% makes it an excellent choice for energy-efficient designs.
The LM2736YMK/NOPB incorporates a fixed frequency, pulse-width modulation (PWM) control scheme. This scheme allows for stable output voltage and predictable behavior under varying load conditions. It also enables easy filtering, reducing output voltage ripple and minimizing the need for external components, resulting in cost and board space savings.
Additionally, the IC provides built-in protection features like thermal shutdown, overcurrent protection, and undervoltage lockout
