Wide Input Voltage, 2 A Buck Regulator Family with Low-IQ Mode

Overview

TopologyBuck Converter
Input voltage4-35 V
Switching frequency300-2400 kHz
Output 15 V / 2 A

Description

It is a wide input voltage Buck converter controller, capable to delivering 2A from 4-35VSwitching Freq. is 300kHz and 2Mhz

Features

Automotive AEC-Q100 qualifiedWithstands surge input to 40 VIN for load dumpOperates down to 3.4 VIN (typ), 3.6 VIN (max) for idle stopUtilizes pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) for low-IQ mode10 μA Sleep mode (automatic PWM / Low-IQ PFM mode selection)Fixed output voltage options: 3.3 or 5 V with ±1% accuracyDelivers up to 2 A of output currentIntegrated 110 mΩ high-side MOSFETAdjustable switching frequency from 300 kHz to 2.4 MHzEMI reduction features: Frequency ditheringControlled switching node

External synchronization capabilityMaximum duty cycle for low dropoutActive low NPOR output with 7.5 ms delayPre-bias startup capable: VOUT increases monotonically, will not cause a resetExternal compensation for maximum flexibilityStable with ceramic or electrolytic output capacitorsInternally fixed soft-start time of 5 msPulse-by-pulse current limit, hiccup mode short-circuit, and thermal protectionsPin open/short and component fault tolerant–40°C to 150°C operating junction temperature rangeThermally enhanced DFN-10 surface-mount package
