A New Family of High-Efficiency,
Full-Featured PowerWise® Synchronous Buck Regulators

  

  

(Click image to enlarge)
 
National Semiconductor’s new family of full-featured PowerWise synchronous buck regulators provides high efficiency DC-DC power conversion for point-of-load applications. The family offers a full range of features and options enabling the designer to fully customize their power solution to meet system needs. When powering multiple point-of-loads, a combination of appropriate devices can be chosen based upon the features to create a small, efficient, and complete solution with minimal external components or circuitry. The LM201xx devices (eTSSOP-16 package) have a VIN range from 2.95V to 5.5V and supports up to 5A loads. The LM20242 device (eTSSOP-20 package) has a VIN range from 4.5V to 36V and supports up to 2A loads.




Applications

  • Low-voltage, High-Density Systems with Power Distributed at 3.3V or 5V rail at 3A-5A
  • Conversions from wide and/or varying input sources such as 12VDC, 24VDC, 24VAC at 2A
  • Powering digital ICs such as FPGAs, DSPs, microprocessors

Key Features

  • Precision enable can be used to turn the device on at a precise input voltage for sequencing of multiple devices
  • Power good indicates that the output voltage is regulated within tolerance, and it can be used to sequence devices that have an enable input
  • Tracking sets the output to accurately track an external supply for sequencing of multiple devices
  • Soft-start provides a controlled voltage ramp to protect loads against in-rush current that could cause latch-up
  • Sync-in allows synchronization of the device to an external clock source
  • Sync-out provides 180 degree out-of-phase clock output that can be used for current sharing or multi-phase operation
  • Frequency adjust allows optimization of the power solution for efficiency or solution size
  • Synchronous operation with low RDS_ON integrated FETs provide high efficiency at high load currents and diode emulation mode for high efficiency at light loads
  • External compensation allows the performance to be optimized for the desired output capacitor and inductor
  • Start-up into pre-biased loads prevents the possibility of latch up in FPGA and ASIC applications
  • High-accuracy current limit, over-voltage and under-voltage protection provides enhanced system reliability
