DESCRIPTION
Realized in BCD mixed technology, the device uses an internal power DMOS transistor (with a typical Rds(ON) of 0.25 Ω) to obtain very high efficency and high switching speed. A switching frequency up to 300 kHz is achievable (the maximum power dissipation of the packages must be observed). A wide input voltage range between 8 V to 55 V and output voltages regulated from 3.3 V to 40 V cover the majority of today’s applications.FEATURES
of this new generations of DC-DC converter include pulse-by-pulse current limit, hiccup mode for short circuit protection, voltage feedforward regulation, protection against feedback loop disconnection and thermal shutdown.
