LX7176
1.65MHz 3A Synchronous Buck Converter
Production Datasheet
Description
Features
The LX7176 is a 3A step-down regulator with integrated
MOSFETs placed in a space saving QFN12 2mm x 2mm
package for today’s mobile devices. It uses an ultra fast,
constant frequency hysteretic control method and a
high switching frequency to minimize external filter
components while maintaining excellent regulation. The
LX7176 has a fixed 0.6V reference, Power Good, and
Enable pins. The LX7176 operates from 3.0V to 5.5V
rails.
0-3A Step-down Regulator
Operational Input Supply Voltage Range:
3.0V-5.5V (short durations to 6.5V)
Integrated PMOS and NMOS
Hysteretic Control Offers Best Transient
Response
PWM Switching at a Constant 1.65MHz
Input Under-voltage and Over-voltage
Protection
Cycle-by-cycle current limiting protects against over-
current conditions. The LX7176 operates in hiccup mode
to further enhance the robustness of the converter for
heavy over-load or short-circuit faults and it
automatically recovers once the fault clears.
Enable and Power Good Function
Internal Soft-start
Cycle-by-Cycle Over Current Protection
Hiccup Mode Protects Against Short Circuit
Faults
RoHS Compliant & Halogen Free
Thermal protection shuts down the regulator under
over-temperature conditions. Over voltage conditions
will immediately shut off the output to protect against
permanent damage.
Applications
High Performance HDD
LCD TV
Notebook/Netbook
Server and Workstations
Video Cards
PoE Powered Devices Smart Phone
