EML3172

ESMT Preliminary EML3172 3A, Synchronous Step-Down DC-DC Converter General Description EML3172 is a high efficiency, DC-DC synchronous buck converter which provides 3A output loading after output voltage reach preset voltage. EML3172 uses different modulation algorithms for various loading conditions. Under heavy load, EML3172 regulates the output voltage using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). The PWM mode provides low output voltage ripple and fixed frequency noise. While in light load, it enters Power Save Modulation (PSM) automatically to ensure a highly efficient operation at light load condition. Under very heavy load condition or when the input voltage Features       Wide Operating Voltage Ranges : 2.5V to 5.5V 3A Output Current High efficiency Buck Power Converter Auto-select PSM/PWM LDO mode: duty cycle: 100% Synchronous Power Switches Rectification, no Schottky Diode Required       1.4MHz Switching Frequency Internal Soft-Start Current Limit Protection Over Temperature Protection Output Shorting Protect Output Over Voltage Protection approaches the output voltage, EML3172 enters low dropout voltage operation under 100% duty cycle. Applications The internal generated 0.8V precision feedback reference voltage is designed for low output voltage request. Low Power-FET Ron synchronous switch dramatically reduces conduction loss.      Cellular telephone Wireless and DSL Modems Digital Still Cameras Portable Products MP3 Players The EML3172 is availabl...
