Working Principles

The LP3936SL is a voltage regulator IC that uses a step-down (buck) topology to convert the input voltage to a lower, regulated output voltage. It employs a pulse-width modulation (PWM) control scheme to maintain the desired output voltage. The feedback pin (FB) is used to set the output voltage by connecting an external resistor divider network. The enable pin (EN) allows the user to turn the regulator on or off as required.
