1A STEP-DOWN VOLTAGE SWITCHING REGULATOR
Features
3.3V, 5V, 12V, 15V and Adjustable output versions
Adjustable version output voltage range 1.23V
to 37V ±4% max over line and load conditions
1A output current
Requires Only 4 External Components
High Efficiency
TTL shutdown capability and low power standby
mode
Thermal shutdown, current limit protection
Uses standard inductors
52 kHz fixed frequency internal oscillator
Description
GM7110 of regulators provides all the active functions for a step-
down (buck) switching regulator, and drives 1A load with excellent
line and load regulation. GM7110 is available in fixed output volt-
ages of 3.3V, 5V, 12V, 15V, and a versatile Adjustable output ver-
sion. These regulators are simple to use and require a minimum
number of external components.
Features include internal frequency compensation and a fixed-
frequency oscillator. GM7110 high-efficiency replacement for popu-
lar three-terminal linear regulators, and is requiring a smaller heat
sink or even no heat sink. GM7110 performs well with standard
inductors from several manufacturers, and simplifying the design
of switch-mode power supplies. GM7110 guarantees ±4% toler-
ance on output voltage within specified input voltages and output
load conditions, and ±10% on the oscillator frequency. External
shutdown is included with 50 µA (typical) standby current. The
output switch has cycle-by-cycle current limiting as well as ther-
mal shutdown for full protection under fault conditions.
Application
Pre-regulator for linear regulators
High-efficiency step-down buck regulator
On-card/ board switching regulators
Positive to negative converter (buck-boost
)

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indic
ate conditions for which the device is intended to be functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits.
Guaranteed specifications and Test conditions are shown in Electrical Characteristics.
Note 2:
All limits guaranteed at 25°C (standard type face) and over full operating temperature range (bold type face).
All 25°C limits are 100% production tested. All limits over full operating temperature range are guaranteed via
correlation using standard Statistics Quality Control methods.
Note 3:
External components such as the catch diode, inductor, input and output capacitors can affect switching regulator
system performance. When the GM7110 is used as shown in the Figure 2 test circuit, system performance will be
as shown in system parameters section of Electrical Characteristics.
Note 4:
Output pin sourcing current. No diode, inductor or capacitor connected to output.
Note 5:
Feedback pin removed from output and connected to 0V.
Note 6:
Feedback pin removed from output and connected to +12V for the Adjustable, 3.3V, and 5V versions, and +25V for
the 12V and 15V versions, to force the output transistor OFF.
Note 7:

IN

Note 8:
Junction to ambient thermal resistance (no external heat sink) for the 5 lead TO-220 package mounted vertically,
with
½
inch leads in a socket, or on a PC board with minimum copper area.
Note 9:
Junction to ambient thermal resistance (no external heat sink) for the 5 lead TO-220 package mounted vertically,
with
¼
inch leads soldered to a PC board containing approximately 4 square inches of copper area surrounding
the leads.
Note 10:
If the TO-263 package is used, the thermal resistance can be reduced by increasing the PC board Copper area
thermally connected to the package. Using 0.5 square inches of copper area,
q
JA
is 50°C//W, with 1 square inch
of copper area,
q
JA
is 37°C/W, and with 1.6 or more square inches of copper area,
q
JA
is 32°C/W.
Note 11:
The oscillator frequency reduces to approximately 11 kHz in the event of an output short or an Overload which
causes the regulated output voltage to drop approximately 40% from the nominal output voltage. This self-
protection feature lowers the Average power dissipation of Gm7110 By lowering the minimum duty cycle from
5% down to approximately 2%.
