A patented line feedforward pensation circuit and a high bandwidth error amplifier provide very fast line and load transient response. High step-down ratios are made possible by a low 30ns minimum on-time, allowing extremely low duty cycles. MOSFET RDS(ON) current sensing maximizes efficiency. Alternatively, a sense resistor can be used for higher current limit accuracy. Continuous monitoring of the voltages across the top and bottom MOSFETs allows cycle-by-cycle control of the inductor current, configurable by external resistors. The soft-start function controls the duty cycle during start-up, providing a smooth output voltage ramp up. The operating frequency is user programmable from 250k Hz to 1MHz and can be synchronized to an external clock.
