3 Description
The LMZ23605 SIMPLE SWITCHER® power module
is an easy-to-use step-down DC – DC solution
capable of driving up to 5-A load. The LMZ23605 is available in an innovative package that enhances
thermal performance and allows for hand or machine
soldering.
The LMZ23605 can accept an input voltage rail
between 6 V and 36 V and can deliver an adjustable
and highly accurate output voltage as low as 0.8 V.
The LMZ23605 only requires two external resistors
and three external capacitors to complete the power
solution. The LMZ23605 is a reliable and robust
design with the following protection features: thermal
shutdown, programmable input undervoltage lockout,
output overvoltage protection, short circuit protection,
output current limit, and the device allows start-up
into a prebiased output. The sync input allows
synchronization over the 650- to 950-kHz switching
frequency range.
