AN30235A-PL

The AN30235A-PL is a DC-DC switching regulator, which belongs to the family of PMIC (power management integrated circuits). This type of power regulating device is capable of efficiently converting the incoming current found in DC power sources—ranging from 8V to 36V—into a constant output voltage that depends on the specifics of the design. This article will explore the electrical characteristics of the device, its range of applications, and its inner workings.

The AN30235A-PL switching regulator is configured in a system where a single DC power supply serves as the main source of power. The system, which is also known as an \'isolated\' switching regulator, contains one inductor and one active element, and is essential in appropriate applications. It is able to offer a stable output voltage, even when the primary source is affected by fluctuations in tension.

This particular type of DC-DC switching regulator has an output voltage current range of 0~2A (2A max.), which is provided by the power transistor (PNP). While the input voltage can range from 8V to 36V (both polarities, however a maximum of 10V negative is recommended), the output voltage can be fixed in the range between 1.2V and 15V. The input capacitor that uses this device must have an appropriate working voltage and also a sufficient capacity to guarantee its proper functioning.

In terms of physical properties, the AN30235A-PL switching regulator features a 16-pin, industry-standard single-in-line (SIP) configuration. The space within the SIP package has been maximized, providing a much larger size than other devices of its kind. It also has a wide temperature range of -40 to +85 degrees Celsius, making it suitable for use in a variety of environments.

Now let us take a look at the working principle of this device. It works courtesy of a PNP transistor which is responsible for the high output current, enabling the regulator to convert the input power supply into the necessary voltage. The voltage regulation is accomplished through an internal oscillator, reference voltage, and regulating resistor. The output voltage is modified because the oscillator frequency is related to the input voltage. The circuit is also responsible for generating a high-efficiency steady output voltage over a wide range of negative or positive input voltages.

Aside from just providing the necessary output voltage, applications for the AN30235A-PL switching regulator often include the added computing performance you\'d expect from a modern system. With the highly reliable rectifying and filtering functions, it delivers clear and stable power to varying electronic devices, from computers to consumer products. This can include powering a range of peripheral devices such as external monitors, hard drives, printers and more.

Also, for electric bicycles and remote controls, you will find that the regulators in the AN30235A-PL series are an indispensable part of their power control systems. This is due to their high regulation accuracy, low noise factor, and generous amplitude, all of which are necessary in working with these products.

In conclusion, the AN30235A-PL switching regulator utilizes some highly advanced technologies to provide users with a wide range of applications. It\'s ability to regulate and deliver a stable output voltage, even when the primary source is vulnerable to fluctuations, makes it a great choice for any DC-DC switch system. With its small, space-efficient size and wide temperature range, this device is the perfect choice for modern electronic devices.
