range of 2.95V to 5.5V making it suitable for a wide
variety of low voltage systems.
• Output Voltage Tracking
• Peak Current Mode Control
The device features internal over voltage protection

The LM20136 is offered in a 16-pin HTSSOP
package with an exposed pad that can be soldered to
the PCB, eliminating the need for bulky heatsinks.
