PowerBlox 20A Synchronous
Step-Down COT Regulators
Description
FEATURES
The XR76121 is a synchronous step-down regulator combining the
controller, drivers, bootstrap diode and MOSFETs in a single package
for point-of-load supplies. The XR76121 has a load current rating
of 20A. A wide 5V to 22V input voltage range allows for single supply
operation from industry standard 5V, 12V and 19.6V rails.
ꢀ■
20A step-down regulator
4.5V to 5.5V low VIN operation
5V to 22V wide single input voltage
3V to 22V operation with external
5V bias
≥0.6V adjustable output voltage
Proprietary constant on-time control
No loop compensation required
Ceramic output capacitor stable
operation
With a proprietary emulated current mode constant on-time (COT)
control scheme, the XR76121 provides extremely fast line and
load transient response using ceramic output capacitors. They
require no loop compensation, simplifying circuit implementation
and reducing overall component count. The control loop also
provides 0.1% load and 0.1% line regulation and maintains constant
operating frequency. A selectable power saving mode, allows the user
to operate in discontinuous mode (DCM) at light current loads thereby
significantly increasing the converter efficiency.
