FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LTM®8023 is a complete 2A, DC/DC step-down power
supply. Included in the package are the switching control-
ler, powerswitches, inductor, andallsupportcomponents.
Operating over an input voltage range of 3.6V to 36V, the
LTM8023 supports an output voltage range of 0.8V to 10V,
and a switching frequency range of 200kHz to 2.4MHz,
eachsetbyasingleresistor. Onlythebulkinputandoutput
filter capacitors are needed to finish the design.
