continuouscurrent(14Apeak). Onlybulkinputandoutput
capacitors are needed to complete the design.
Current Foldback Protection (Disabled at Start-Up)
RoHS Compliant with Pb-Free Finish,
Gold Finish LGA (e4) or SAC 305 BGA (e1)
Ultrafast Transient Response
The low profile and light weight package easily mounts
in unused space on the back side of PC boards for high
density point of load regulation. The µModule regulator
can be synchronized with an external clock for reducing
undesirable frequency harmonics and allows PolyPhase®
operation for high load currents.

Small Footprint, Low Profile
A high switching frequency and adaptive on-time current
mode architecture deliver a very fast transient response
to line and load changes without sacrificing stability. An
onboard differential remote sense amplifier can be used
to accurately regulate an output voltage independent of
load current.
