The PTV05010W is a ready-to-use nonisolated power module, and part of a new class of complete dc/dc switching regulators from Texas Instruments. These regulators combine high performance with double-sided, surface-mount construction, to give designers the flexibility to power the most complex multiprocessor digital systems using off-the-shelf catalog parts. The PTV05010W series is produced in a 8-pin, single in-line pin (SIP) package. The SIP footprint minimizes board space, and offers an alternate package option for space conscious applications. Operating from a 5-V input bus, the series provides step-down conversion to a wide range of output voltages, at up to 8 A of output current. The output voltage can be set to any value over the range, 0.8 V to 3.6 V, using a single external resistor.
