Working Principle
Current-mode control with integrated N-channel MOSFET provides stable operation across input/output range. Pulse-skipping at light load maintains high efficiency. External compensation allows optimization of transient response. The 2.5 MHz max frequency enables small inductor and capacitor sizing.
Applications
- Automotive 12V/24V step-down
- Industrial 48V to logic rail
- Battery-powered systems
- distributed power architecture
