ZSPM4023-06
24V/6A Synchronous DC/DC Buck Regulator
Brief Description
Benefits
The ZSPM4023-06 is a constant-frequency, syn-
chronous DC/DC buck regulator featuring adaptive
on-time control architecture. The ZSPM4023-06
operates over a 4.5V to 28V supply range (24V typi-
cal). It has an internal linear regulator that provides a
regulated 5V to power the internal control circuitry.
The ZSPM4023-06 operates at a constant 600kHz
(typical) switching frequency in continuous-
conduction mode and can be used to provide up to
6A of output current. The output voltage is adjust-
able from 5.5V down to 0.8V.
Ultra-light load efficiency – up to 80% at 10mA
Up to 95% efficiency
Feedback reference accuracy as high as ±1%
Features
Rapid-control architecture enables operation with
a high input/output voltage ratio (e.g., VIN = 28V
and VOUT = 0.8V) and small output capacitance
Adjustable output voltage from 0.8V to 5.5V
Universally compatible with most output
Under medium to heavy loads, the ZSPM4023-06
provides high efficiency and ultra-fast transient res-
ponse via its rapid-control architecture. Under light
load conditions, it maintains high efficiency and a
superior transient response by transitioning to
variable-frequency, discontinuous mode operation
with its ultra-light-load architecture.
capacitors—stable with zero to high ESR
Power good (PG) output
Foldback current limiting and “hiccup” mode
short-circuit protection
Safe start-up into pre-biased loads
The ZSPM4023-06 offers a full suite of protection
features to ensure protection of the IC during fault
conditions. These include under-voltage lockout to
ensure proper operation under power-sag con-
ditions; thermal shutdown; internal soft-start to
reduce inrush current; foldback current limiting; and
“hiccup” mode short-circuit protection. The
ZSPM4023-06 includes a power good (PG) output to
allow simple sequencing.
