DESCRIPTION
The device is a pwm controller for high performance
dc-dc conversion from 3.3V, 5V and 12V buses.
The output voltage is adjustable down to 0.9V; higher
voltages can be obtained with an external voltage di-
vider.
High peak current gate drivers provide for fast switch-
ing to the external power section, and the output
current can be in excess of 20A.
The device assures protections against load overcur-
rent and overvoltage. An internal crowbar is also pro-
vided turning on the low side mosfet as long as the
over-voltage is detected. In case of over-current de-
tection, the soft start capacitor is discharged and the
system works in HICCUP mode.
