The L4960 is a monolithic step-down switching regulator from STMicroelectronics, designed to deliver up to 2.5A output current with an adjustable voltage range of 5.1V to 40V. It operates within a minimum input voltage of 9V and supports switching frequencies up to 150kHz. The device features a precise on-chip reference with ±2% accuracy and includes integrated protection mechanisms such as thermal shutdown and internal current limiting. Packaged in the HEPTAWATT V through-hole format, it ensures high efficiency up to 90% while requiring minimal external components for implementation.
Verify component authenticity by cross-referencing the manufacturer part number with official STMicroelectronics documentation. Confirm package integrity and pin configuration match the HEPTAWATT V specification. Ensure that any ordering suffixes align with the required environmental or packaging variants. Check for end-of-life status or obsolescence notices prior to finalizing procurement decisions.
Select this regulator when a robust, single-output buck converter is required for applications demanding up to 2.5A. Consider the 150kHz switching frequency for balancing component size and efficiency. Evaluate the thermal performance requirements given the through-hole package and ensure adequate heat dissipation is available in the target design environment.
The L4960 belongs to the family of power switching regulators manufactured by STMicroelectronics. It serves as a solution for efficient voltage step-down applications, complementing other PMIC offerings. The device integrates control logic and power switches into a single monolithic structure, simplifying the design process compared to discrete solutions.
