Product Overview
The LM43601PWPR is a 3.5V to 36V, 1A synchronous step-down converter from Texas Instruments, packaged in a 16-pin HTSSOP (PWP) with an exposed thermal pad. It features a wide input range with 42V transient capability, peak-current-mode control, and an ultra-low 33 µA quiescent current. The device supports DCM and PFM modes for high light-load efficiency and is pin-to-pin compatible with the LM43600/2/3 and LM46000/1/2 family members.
