Key Technical Specifications | Parameter | Value / Range | | :--- | :--- | | **Input Voltage Range** | 4.5 V to 18 V | | **Output Current** | 1 A per channel (Dual Channel) | | **Output Voltage Range** | Adjustable from 0.8 V to 0.8 × $V_{IN}$ | | **Switching Frequency** | Fixed at 700 kHz | | **Package Type** | 24-lead LFCSP (4mm x 4mm) | | **Operating Temperature** | -40°C to +125°C | | **Topology** | Current-mode architecture | --- ### 2. Major Electronic Features * **Synchronous Rectification:** Both channels integrate high-side and low-side power MOSFETs. This eliminates the need for external Schottky diodes, improving efficiency and reducing board space. * **Out-of-Phase Operation:** The two channels operate $180^\circ$ out of phase. This reduces the input ripple current and the size of the required input capacitance. * **Independent Precision Enable:** Each channel has its own enable pin, allowing for specific power-up sequencing. * **Internal Soft Start:** Prevents inrush current during startup to protect the internal circuitry and the load. * **Protection Mechanisms:** * **OCP:** Overcurrent protection (hiccup mode). * **UVLO:** Undervoltage lockout. * **TSD:** Thermal shutdown. --- ### 3. Pin Configuration Highlights | Pin Name | Function | | :--- | :--- | | **PVIN1 / PVIN2** | Power input for each respective buck regulator. | | **SW1 / SW2** | Switching nodes connected to external inductors. | | **FB1 / FB2** | Feedback pins used to set the output voltage via a resistor divider. | | **EN1 / EN2** | Enable inputs; high logic turns the channel on. | | **PGOOD** | Power-good output (open-drain) to signal that the output is within regulation. | | **EP (Exposed Pad)** | Must be soldered to the PCB ground plane for thermal dissipation. | --- ### 4. Typical Application Circuit To use this part, you generally require the following external components: 1. **Inductors:** To store energy during the switching cycle. 2. **Input/Output Capacitors:** Ceramic capacitors for filtering and stability. 3. **Resistor Dividers:** Connected to the FB pins to set the specific DC output voltage levels. ```python # Example calculation for Output Voltage (Vout) # Vout = 0.8V * (1 + R1 / R2) # Where R1 is the top resistor and R2 is the bottom resistor in the divider. ``` ---
