Key Featrues

Wide Input Voltage Range (3V to 28V): This feature allows the regulator to operate efficiently across a broad range of input voltages, making it versatile for various applications, including automotive, industrial, and portable electronics. The wide range ensures compatibility with different power sources, enhancing flexibility and reliability in diverse environments.
Adjustable Output Voltage Down to 0.6V: The ability to adjust the output voltage as low as 0.6V enables precise power delivery to low-voltage components, such as modern microprocessors and FPGAs. This feature improves energy efficiency and supports the growing demand for lower power consumption in advanced electronic systems.
High Efficiency (Up to 97%): With a peak efficiency of 97%, this regulator minimizes power loss and heat generation, making it ideal for high-performance and energy-sensitive applications. High efficiency translates to longer battery life in portable devices and reduced cooling requirements in industrial systems.
Programmable Switching Frequency (300kHz to 1MHz): The regulator offers four programmable switching frequencies, allowing designers to optimize performance based on specific application requirements. This flexibility helps balance efficiency, noise, and component size, enabling tailored solutions for different use cases.
Robust Protection Features (Overvoltage, Undervoltage, Short Circuit, and Thermal Protection): Integrated protection mechanisms ensure reliable operation under adverse conditions. Features like cycle-by-cycle current limit, output overvoltage protection, and auto-retry during short circuits enhance system durability and safety, reducing the risk of damage or failure in critical applications.
