Key Featrues

Wide Input Voltage Range (3.5V to 24V) - This feature allows the buck converter to operate efficiently across a broad range of input voltages, making it versatile for various applications such as portable devices, USB Type-C devices, and systems powered by 2S, 3S, or 4S Li-Ion batteries. This flexibility ensures reliable performance in diverse power supply scenarios.
Ultra-Low Quiescent Current (1.1µA) - The buck converter's ultra-low quiescent current minimizes power consumption during standby or light-load conditions, significantly extending battery life in portable and battery-powered applications. This is particularly beneficial for devices that require long operational life with minimal energy usage.
High Duty Cycle Operation (Up to 98%) - The ability to operate at up to 98% duty cycle ensures efficient performance even at low dropout voltages, making it ideal for applications where input voltage is close to the output voltage. This feature enhances efficiency and reduces energy loss in battery-powered systems.
High Switching Frequency (1.7MHz) - The high switching frequency allows for the use of smaller external components, such as inductors and capacitors, reducing the overall solution size and making the buck converter suitable for space-constrained applications. This also improves transient response and efficiency.
Robust Protection Features (Short-Circuit and Thermal Protection) - The integrated short-circuit and thermal protection mechanisms ensure safe and reliable operation under fault conditions, safeguarding the device and the system from damage. This enhances the robustness and longevity of the converter in demanding environments.
