Allegro MicroSystems A4402
The A4402 is a dual-output regulator, combining in a single package a constant on-time buck regulator and a linear regulator (LDO)—each with adjustable output voltages. It is ideal for applications that require two regulated voltages, such as in microcontroller- or DSP-based applications requiring core and I/O voltage rails. The buck regulator output supplies the adjustable linear regulator to reduce power dissipation and increase overall efficiency.FEATURES AND BENEFITS

DESCRIPTION
The switching regulator is capable of operating above 2 MHz, allowing the use of small low value inductors and capacitors while avoiding sensitive EMI frequency bands such as AM radio in automotive applications. Protection features include undervoltage lockout and thermal shutdown. In case of a shorted load, each regulator features overcurrent protection.
