Optional Pulse-Skipping Mode
Adjustable Secondary Feedback
Input Undervoltage Lockout
Fixed-frequency synchronous drive of logic-level N-
channel power MOSFETs is combined with an
optional pulse-skipping mode to achieve ultra efficient
power conversion over a 1000:1 load current range.
The pulse-skipping mode can be disabled in favor of
fixed-frequency operation regardless of the load
current level.
Output Undervoltage Shutdown Protection
Output Overvoltage Shutdown Protection
Programmable Soft-Start (Each Controller)
5V, 50 mA Linear Regulator Output
Precision 2.5V Reference Output
28-pin TSSOP
High DC gain and current-mode feedback control
assure excellent line and load regulation and a wide
loop bandwidth for fast response to dynamic loads.
An internal oscillator fixes the switching frequency at
300 kHz. Optionally, switching can be synchronized
to an external clock running as fast as 400 kHz.
APPLICATIONS
•
•
•
Notebook and Subnotebook Computers
Wireless Data Terminals
An optional soft-start feature limits current surges
from the input power supply at start up and provides
a simple means of start-up sequencing.
Battery-Powered Instruments
Logic-level inputs allow the controllers to be turned
ON and OFF separately.
