The AIC2862, designed with a current-mode control scheme, can convert wide input voltage to the adjustable output voltage to provide excellent output voltage regulation. It is stable with low ESR output ceramic capacitors. For high efficiency over all load current range, the AIC2862 is equipped with an automatic PSM/PWM modeoperation. At light load, the IC operates in the PSM (Pulse Skipping Mode) to reduce switching losses. At heavy load, the IC works in PWM mode to provide high efficiency and excellent output voltage regulation.
