A4450 Overview
The A4450 is a power management IC that can implement either a buck or buck-boost regulator to efficiently convert automotive battery voltages into a tightly regulated voltage. It includes control, diagnostics, and protection functions. An enable input to the A4450 is patible to a high-voltage battery level, (EN).
