ML4866* 3.
3V Output DC–DC Step-Down Converter
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ML4866 is a high efficiency pulse width modulated (PWM) buck
regulator designed for use in 5V systems or portable equipment that need a compact, efficienct 3.
3V supply.
It has a switching frequency of 120kHz and uses synchronous rectification to optimize power conversion efficiency.
Unlike other solutions, the ML4866 requires no external diodes or FETs.
The ML4866 can provide up to 500mA of output current, and operates over an input voltage range of 3.
5V to 6.
5V (3 to 4 cells or a 5 VDC supply).
A complete switched mode power converter can be quickly and easily implemented with few external components.
