The US3036 IC provides an 8 pin low cost switching controller with true short circuit protection all in a compact 8 pin surface mount package, providing a low cost switching solution for applications that require a simple switching regulator from the 5V input where there is no other supply available. One type of such application of US3036 is generating 2.5V standby from the dual 5V(5V and 5V standby) for the next generation processors.

The IC US3036 starts below 4.5V supply and drives an external Pch MOSFET or and external low cost PNP as the switching element. The IC also includes an error comparator for fast transient response, a precise voltage reference for setting the output voltage as well as a direct drive of the MOSFET for the minimum part count.
