A4450
Buck-Boost Controller with Integrated Buck MOSFET
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
DESCRIPTION
• Automotive AEC-Q100 qualified
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.
• Wide operating range of 3 to 36 VIN, 40 VIN maximum,
covers automotive stop/start, cold crank, double battery,
and load dump
• Regulated output can range from 3 to 8 V at up to 1 A DC
• Adjustable PWM switching frequency:
250 kHz to 2.2 MHz
An enable input to the A4450 is compatible to a high-voltage
battery level, (EN).
• PWM frequency can be synchronized to external clock:
250 kHz to 2.4 MHz
Adiagnostic output from theA4450 includes a power-on reset
output (NPOR) signal.
• Frequency dithering helps reduce EMI/EMC
• Undervoltage protection
• Pin-to-pin and pin-to-ground tolerant at every pin
• Thermal shutdown protection
Protectionfeaturesincludepulse-by-pulsecurrentlimit,hiccup
mode short-circuit protection, LX short-circuit protection,
missing freewheeling diode (buck diode at LX node inA4450)
protection, and thermal shutdown.
• Operating junction temperature range −40°C to 150°C
The A4450 is most suitable for applications where the input
voltage can vary from less than or greater than the regulated
output voltage.
PACKAGES:
