An integrated circuit for use in implementing a switching voltage regulator,
the
integrated circuit including a power switching transistor, driver circuitry and
control circuitry, which is operable in a normal feedback mode or an isolated flyback
mode. The integrated circuit includes shutdown circuitry for placing the regulator
in a micro-power sleep mode, and can be packaged in a five-pin conventional power
transistor package. The terminals of the integrated circuit regulator perform multiple
functions. A compensation terminal is used for frequency compensation, current
limiting, soft-start operation and shutdown. A feedback terminal is used as a feedback
input when the integrated circuit is in feedback mode, and as a logic pin to program
the regulator for isolated flyback operation. The feedback terminal is also used
to trim the flyback reference voltage.
