NCP3123
Dual 3.0 A, Step-Down
DC/DC Switching Regulator
The NCP3123 is a dual buck converter designed for low voltage
applications requiring high efficiency. This device is capable of
producing an output voltage as low as 0.8 V. The NCP3123 provides
dual 3.0 A switching regulators with an adjustable 200 kHz −
2200 kHz switching frequency. The switching frequency is set by an
external resistor. The NCP3123 also incorporates an auto−tracking
and sequencing feature. Protection features include cycle−by−cycle
current limit and undervoltage lockout (UVLO). The NCP3123 comes
in a 32−pin QFN package.
