12A Highly Integrated SupIRBuckTM
IR3476
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The IR3476 SupIRBuckTM is an easy-to-use, fully integrated
and highly efficient DC/DC voltage regulator. The onboard
constant on time hysteretic controller and MOSFETs make
IR3476 a space-efficient solution that delivers up to 12A of
precisely controlled output voltage.
Input Voltage Range: 3V to 27V
Output Voltage Range: 0.5V to 12V
Continuous 12A Load Capability
Constant On-Time Control
Programmable switching frequency, soft start, and
thermally compensated over current protection allows for
a very flexible solution suitable for many different
applications and an ideal choice for battery powered
applications.
Compensation Loop not Required
Excellent Efficiency at Very Low Output Currents
Programmable Switching Frequency and Soft Start
Thermally Compensated Over Current Protection
Power Good Output
Additional features include pre-bias startup, very precise
0.5V reference, under/over voltage shutdown, thermal
protection, power good output, and enable input with
voltage monitoring capability.
