The LP6496 is a synchronous step down regulator with CC control from a high voltage input supply. Operating with an input voltage 8V~40V, the LP6496 achieves 5A continuous output current with excellent load and line regulation. Current mode operation provides fast transient response and eases loop stabilization. The LP6496 requires a minimum number of readily available standard external components. Other features include cable compensation, programmable current limit and thermal shutdown. The LP6496 converters are available in the industry standard SOP8 packages.
