PRODUCT DATASHEET
AAT1160
SwitchRegTM
12V, 3A Step-Down DC/DC Converter
General Description
Features
The AAT1160 is an 800kHz high efficiency step-down
DC/DC converter. With a wide input voltage range of
4.0V to 13.2V, the AAT1160 is an ideal choice for dual-
cell Lithium-ion battery-powered devices and mid-pow-
er-range regulated 12V-powered industrial applications.
The internal power switches are capable of delivering up
to 3A to the load.
• Input Voltage Range: 4.0V to 13.2V
• Up to 3A Load Current
• Fixed or Adjustable Output:
Output Voltage: 0.6V to VIN
▪
• Low 150μA No-Load Operating Current
• Less than 1μA Shutdown Current
• Up to 96% Efficiency
• Integrated Power Switches
• 800kHz Switching Frequency
The AAT1160 is a highly integrated device, simplifying
system-level design. Minimum external components are
required for the converter.
Synchronizable to External Clock
Forced PWM or Light Load Mode
• Soft Start Function
▪
▪
The AAT1160 optimizes efficiency throughout the entire
load range. It operates in a combination PWM/Light Load
mode for improved light-load efficiency. It can also
operate in a forced Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) mode
for easy control of the switching noise as well as faster
transient response. The high switching frequency allows
the use of small external components. The low current
shutdown feature disconnects the load from VIN and
drops shutdown current to less than 1μA.
• Short-Circuit and Over-Temperature Protection
• Minimum External Components
• TDFN34-16 Package
• Temperature Range: -40°C to +85°C
Applications
• Distributed Power Systems
• Industrial Applications
• Laptop Computers
• Portable DVD Players
• Portable Media Players
• Set-Top Boxes
The AAT1160 is available in a Pb-free, space-saving,
thermally-enhanced 16-pin TDFN34 package and is rated
over an operating temperature range of -40°C to
+85°C.
• TFT LCD Monitors and HDTVs
