NTE7173 NTE7173SM Integrated Circuit 1.5A Step−Up/Down Inverting Switching Regulator Description: The NTE7173 and NTE 7173SM are monolithic circuits containing the primary functions required for DC−to−DC converters. These devices consist of an internal temperature compensated reference, comparator, controlled duty cycle oscillator with an active current limit circuit, driver and high current output switch. This series was specifically designed to be incorporated in Step−Down and Step−Up and Voltage−Inverting applications with a minimum number of external components.

Low duty cycle pulse techniques are used during test to maintain junction temperature as close to ambient temperature as possible Note 3. If the output switch is driven into hard saturation (non−Darlington configuration) at low switch currents (≤ 300mA) and high driver currents (≥ 30mA), it may take up to 2µs for it to come out of saturation. Thi condition will shorten the off time at frequencies ≥ 30kHz, and is magnified at high temperatures. Thi condition does not occur with a Darlington configuration, since the output switch cannot saturate. If a non−Darlington configuration is used, the following output condition is recommended: IC output ≥ 10 IC driver − 7mA * * The 100Ω resistor is the emitter of the driver device requires about 7mA before the * output switch conducts.
