Working Principles

The LM25101CMA/NOPB is a step-down switching regulator that converts a higher input voltage to a lower output voltage. It utilizes a pulse-width modulation (PWM) control scheme to regulate the output voltage. The feedback pin (FB) is used to adjust the output voltage, while the enable pin (EN) controls the on/off state of the regulator.

When enabled, the IC switches the input voltage through an internal power switch, creating a series of pulses. These pulses are filtered and smoothed to provide a stable output voltage. The switching frequency can be adjusted using external components.

The LM25101CMA/NOPB also incorporates current limit protection, which monitors the output current and limits it to a safe level. This protects the IC and the connected load from excessive current draw.
