A4403 - Valley Current Mode Control Buck Converter

General Description

The A4403 is a buck converter that uses valley current-mode control.

This control scheme allows very short switch on-times to be achieved, making it ideal for applications that require high switching frequencies combined with high input voltages and low output voltages.

Low cost is accomplished through high switching frequencies of up to 2 MHz, allowing smaller and lower value inductors and capacitors.
