SM72238TD-5.0/NOPB

PMIC - Voltage Regulators - Linear

The SM72238TD-5.0/NOPB is a linear voltage regulator with a maximum current rating of 5A. It operates using an adjustable voltage regulator, allowing it to output a regulated voltage from 1.25V to 5.5V, depending on the input voltage. It also has a power-good signal output that can indicate to the user if the output voltage is either over-voltage or under-voltage.

The SM72238TD-5.0/NOPB typically operates using the adjustable type of voltage regulation. This type of regulation requires external components, including resistors and capacitors, to provide the proper output voltage. These external components allow manufacturers to customize the device for specific applications by adjusting the values of the components accordingly.

Applications for the SM72238TD-5.0/NOPB usually involve providing power from a power source, such as a battery or an AC adapter, to an electronic device. This is done by connecting the power source to the Vin pin of the regulator and then connecting the Ground pin and the output (Vout) to the electronic device. Once connected, the regulator can provide the device with a regulated power supply from 1.25V to 5.5V according to the input voltage.

The SM72238TD-5.0/NOPB also offers a power-good signal output. This output is a logic-level voltage output which will indicate whether the output voltage is above or below the preset voltage. This output can be used to trigger a microprocessor to shut down the device in case of an unexpected over-voltage or under-voltage condition.

In addition to their linear voltage regulator feature, the SM72238TD-5.0/NOPB also has over-temperature protection. This device is designed to shut down its output voltage in order to protect the system from high temperatures which could cause damage to the components due to overheating. This feature is made possible by the on-chip temperature sensor which is designed to detect temperatures increases above the set limit.

Overall, the SM72238TD-5.0/NOPB is a high-performance linear voltage regulator designed specifically for applications that need to provide regulated power from either a battery or an AC adapter to an electronic device. This regulator comes with a power-good output and an over-temperature protection feature, making it an ideal choice for many applications.
