STMicroelectronics Buck Converter, Surface, 5V dc Output Voltage, 3 A Output Current, 1 Outputs

The STMicroelectronics L6983 is an easy to use monolithic synchronous step-down regulator. It is capable of delivering up to 3 A DC to the load. It also has a wide input voltage range that makes the device suitable for a broad range of applications. The L6983 is available in both low consumption mode (LCM) and low noise mode (LNM) versions. The LCM maximizes the efficiency at light-load with controlled output voltage ripple which makes the device suitable for battery-powered applications. Whereas, the LNM makes the switching frequency constant and minimizes the output voltage ripple for light load operations, that meets the specification for low noise sensitive applications.
