SNOS491D February 2000 – September 2018 LM4051-N
PRODUCTION DATA.
The majority of applications involving LM4051-N uses closed loop operation to regulate a fixed voltage or current. The feedback enables this device to behave as an error amplifier, computing a portion of the output voltage and adjusting it to maintain the desired regulation. This is done by relating the output voltage back to the reference pin in a manner to make it equal to the internal reference voltage, which can be accomplished via resistive or direct feedback.
