UCD7232 Overview
Key Specifications
Mount Type: Surface Mount
Pins: 20
Max Voltage (typical range): 15 V
Min Voltage (typical range): 4.7 V
Description
The UCD7232 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.
