DESCRIPTION
The ST763A is a step-down switching regulator . It
operates from 3.3V to 11V giving a fixed 3.3V
output voltage, delivering up to 500mA. The
mainly features are typical efficiency of 90%,
quiescent current of 0.6mA, and only 0.2µA in
shut-down.
The PWM current mode control provides precise
output regulation and very good transient
response. Output voltage accuracy is guaranteed
to be
±5%
over line, load and temperature
variations. A minimum number of external
components is used and the fixed frequency
switching allows easy filtering of output ripple and
noise.
Other features of this ddevice are cycle-by-clicle
current limiting, overcurrent limiting, under voltage
lockout and programmable soft-start protection.
A 22µH inductor works in most applications, so no
sophisticated design is necessary.
Package available are SO-8 and DIP-8.
Typical application are in 5V to 3.3V converters,
cellular phones, portable instruments, hand-held
computers, and peripherals.

Connect to V
CC
for normal operation (ON MODE)
Reference Output Voltage:(1.25V): Bypass to GND with 47nF capacitor
Soft Start: a capacitor between SS and GND provides soft-start and short-circuit
protections.
Compensation Capacitor Input: externally compensates the outer (voltage)
feedback loop. Connect to OUT with 330pF capacitor
Output Voltage Sense Input: provides regulation of feedback sensing. Connect to
3.3V output.
Ground
Switch Output. Drain of internal P-Channel Power MOSFET
Supply Voltage Input. Bypass to GND with 1µF ceramic capacitance and large
value electrolytic capacitor in parallel. The 1µF capacitor must be as close as
possible to the GND and V
