Overview
The MC33167T, part of the MC34167 and MC33167 series, is a high-performance fixed frequency power switching regulator designed by onsemi. These devices are optimized for dc-to-dc converter applications and are specifically tailored for step-down and voltage-inverting configurations with a minimal number of external components. They can also be used efficiently in step-up converter applications. The MC33167T integrates all the necessary active functions, including an internal temperature-compensated reference, a fixed frequency oscillator, a latching pulse width modulator, a high gain error amplifier, and a high current output switch.
