HT74173
6.0V, 3.0A, 1.2MHz
Synchronous Step-Down Converter
Features
General Description
• Wide Input Range of VIN from 2.5V to 6.0V
• Output Voltage Range from 0.6V to VDD
• Internal Low On-Resistance Switches:
The HT74173 is a high efficiency synchronous step-
down converter capable of delivering 3A output
current. It can operate over a wide input voltage range
from 2.5V to 6.0V and integrates 80mΩ low on-
resistance main and rectified switches to minimize the
conduction losses. Up to 1.2MHz switching frequency
in PWM allows to use the small surface mount
inductors and capacitors in applications.

Conditions
useful to drive up to 3A load current and also decrease
its standby current in no load condition. The Hysteretic
PFM mode extends the battery life by reducing the
quiescent current during the system standby. In the
shutdown mode, the device turns off and consumes
only 0.1μA input current.

VOUT=0.93×VOUT(TARGET) (8SOP-EP)
• Protection Features:
♦
VDD Under Voltage Lock-Out
♦
Cycle-by-Cycle Over Current Protection
The HT74173 also provides 100% duty cycle operation.
When the input supply voltage decreases toward the
targeted output voltage, the High-Side MOSFET will
always turn on and the output voltage tracks the input
voltage, which can extend the battery life.
