Description

The L6902D is a complete and simple step down switching regulator with adjustable current limit.
Based on a voltage mode structure it integrates a current error amplifier to have a constant voltage and constant current control.
By means of an on board current sense resistor and the availability of the current sense pins (both compatible to Vcc and for Cs- compatible with GND too) a current limit programming is very simple and accurate (±5%). Moreover constant current control can be used to charge NiMH and NiCd batteries.
The device can be used as a standard DC/DC converter with adjustable current limit (set by using the external sense resistor)
