Description
The RC5054A provides complete control and protection for
a DC-DC converter optimized for high-performance micro-
processor applications. It is designed to drive two N-Channel
MOSFETs in a synchronous-recti鏗乪d buck topology. The
RC5054A integrates all of the control, output adjustment,
monitoring and protection functions into a single package.
The output voltage of the converter is easily adjusted and
precisely regulated. The RC5054A includes a 5-input digital-
to-analog converter (DAC) that adjusts the output voltage
from 2.1V
