suited for Li-Ion battery-powered applications, as well n
Output Voltages as Low as 400mV (VLDO Outputs)
as powering low voltage logic from 5V or 3.3V rails. The n Power Good Output output voltage range extends down to 0.4V for the VLDO n Input Voltage Range: 2.7V to 5.5V regulators and 0.8V for the buck. n Independent Enable Pin for Each Supply The 1A synchronous buck converter provides the main n Low (140µA Typ) No-Load Quiescent Current with output with high efficiency, typically 85%. The two 300mA All Outputs Enabled VLDO regulators can run off the main output to provide n Constant Frequency Current Mode Operation two additional lower voltage outputs. A built-in supply n 2.25MHz Switching Frequency Uses Small Inductors monitor provides a power good indication. n Defeatable Automatic Burst Mode® Operation for High Efficiency at Light Loads The buck converter switches at 2.25MHz, allowing the use n ±1.5% Reference Accuracy of small surface mount inductors and capacitors. Constant n Overtemperature Protection frequency current mode operation produces controlled n Thermally Enhanced 4mm × 3mm 14-Pin DFN output spectrum and fast transient response. A mode- Package select pin allows automatic Burst Mode operation to be enabled for higher efficiency at light load, or disabled for
