42V INPUT STANDOFF VOLTAGE, 0.7A STEP-DOWN CONVERTER
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The A7407 is a wide input range, high-efficiency, and
high frequency DC-to-DC step-down switching
regulator, capable of delivering up to 0.7A of output
current. With a fixed switching frequency of 660KHz,
this current mode PWM controlled converter allows
the use of small external components, such as
ceramic input and output caps, as well as small
inductors. A7407 also employs a proprietary control
scheme that switches the device into a power save
mode during light load, thereby extending the range
of high efficiency operation. An OVP function protects
the IC itself and its downstream system against input
voltage surges. With this OVP function, the IC can
stand off input voltage as high as 42V, making it an
ideal solution for industrial applications such as smart
meters as well as automotive applications.
In automotive systems, power comes from the
battery, with its voltage typically between 9V and 24V.
Including cold crank and double battery jump-starts,
the minimum input voltage may be as low as 4V and
the maximum up to 36V, with even higher transient
voltages. With these high input voltages, linear
regulators cannot be used for high supply currents
without overheating the regulator. Instead, high
efficiency switching regulators such as A7407 must
be used to minimize thermal dissipation.
