Description
This step-up switching regulator is housed in an 8-pin PDIP package, making it suitable for various applications where space is a concern. It offers a reliable and efficient solution for achieving adjustable regulated supply voltages.
The TL499A features a wide input voltage range, allowing it to accommodate diverse power sources. With its ability to convert a lower input voltage to a higher output voltage, this integrated circuit is ideal for battery-powered devices or other applications that require a higher voltage than what the power source can provide.
One of the standout features of the TL499A is its adjustable output voltage. By simply adjusting two external resistors, the user can fine-tune the output voltage within a range of 2.9 V to 30 V. This flexibility enables the regulator to meet the specific voltage requirements of various systems, ensuring optimal performance.
This switching regulator offers excellent performance characteristics, including a high efficiency rating, low quiescent current, and minimal dropout voltage. Such attributes make it an energy-efficient solution, saving power and extending battery life in portable devices.
The TL499A also incorporates a comprehensive suite of protection features. These include overtemperature protection, current limit protection, and thermal shutdown. These safeguards prevent the regulator from overheating or experiencing other potentially damaging conditions, ensuring reliable and long-lasting operation.
