Description
Pin Configuration
put voltage of the AT H 26K12 can be set
to any value over the range, 1.2 V to
5.5 V, using a single resistor.
T he AT H 26K12 is a series of high-
current non-isolated power module. T his
product is characterized by high efficien-
cies, and up to 26 A of output current,
while occupying a mere 1.64 in² of PCB
area. In terms of cost, size, and perfor-
mance, the series provides OEM’s with a
flexible module that meets the require-
ments of the most complex and
demanding mixed-signal applications.
T hese include the most densly populat-
ed, multi-processor systems that
incorporate high-speed DSP’s, micropro-
cessors, and ASICs.

T his series includes Auto-Track™.
Auto-Track simplifies power-up and
power-down supply voltage sequencing
in a system by enabling modules to track
each other, or any other external voltage.
Each model also includes an on/off
inhibit, output voltage adjust (trim), and
margin up/down controls. An output
voltage sense ensures tight load regulation,
and an output over-current and thermal
shutdown feature provide for protection
against external load faults.
