UCD7231 Overview
Key Specifications
Package: QFN
Mount Type: Surface Mount
Pins: 20
Max Frequency: 2 MHz
Description
The UCD7231 high current driver is specifically designed for digitally-controlled, point-of-load, synchronous buck switching power supplies. Two driver circuits provide high charge and discharge current for the high-side NMOS switch and the low-side NMOS synchronous rectifier in a synchronous buck circuit.
