What is MC34063?

Among so many electronic components, MC34063 is often used in the Switching Regulator. Below are its short descriptions.

The MC34063 is a monolithic control circuit containing all the active functions required for switching

        dc-to-dc converters (see Figure 1). The MC34063 includes the following components:

        *   Temperature-compensated reference voltage

        *   Oscillator

        *   Active peak-current limit

        *   Output switch

        *   Output voltage-sense comparator

The MC34063 was designed to be incorporated in buck, boost, or voltage-inverter converter applications.

        All these functions are contained in an 8-pin DIP or SOIC package.
