1.5 A switch, 100 kHz — the workhorse DC-DC for moderate loads
Its integrated 1.5 A switch transistor and 100 kHz oscillator make it a direct fit for non-isolated supplies in the 1 W to 10 W range — think industrial sensor rails, automotive bias supplies, and auxiliary POL converters on a mixed-voltage board.
3 V to 40 V input — one rail, many output options
The output is adjustable from a 1.25 V reference up to 40 V (switch rating), and the configuration can be positive or negative — so a single BOM line covers +5 V, +12 V, or a -5 V rail from the same 24 V supply.
SOIC-8 package — board area and thermal reality
The 1.5 A switch current is the peak limit through the internal transistor; at full load the package dissipation sets the practical output current, especially in a buck converter where the duty cycle is high.
