3 Description

The LV14540 is a 40V, 5A, step-down regulator with

an integrated high-side MOSFET. With a wide input

range from 4V to 40V, the device is designed for

various applications from industrial to automotive for

power conditioning from unregulated sources. A wide

adjustable switching frequency range allows either

efficiency or external component size to be optimized.

Internal loop compensation means that the user is

free from the tedious task of loop compensation

design. Internal loop compensation also minimizes the

external components of the device. A precision enable

input allows simplification of regulator control and

system power sequencing. The device also has builtin

protection features such as cycle-by-cycle current

limit, thermal sensing and shutdown due to excessive

power dissipation, and output overvoltage protection.
