1.4MHz, 1.2A, VFB=0.6V SYNCHRONOUS STEP-DOWN CONVERTER

DESCRIPTION

UTC UD05122 is a 1.4MHz constant frequency current mode

PWM step-down converter. It is ideal for portable equipment

requiring very high current up to 1.2A from single-cell Lithium-ion

batteries while still achieving over 90% efficiency during peak load

conditions. The 2.5V to 5.5V input voltage range makes UTC

UD05122 ideally suited for single Li-Ion, two to four AA

battery-powered applications. 100% duty cycle provides low

dropout operation, extending battery life in portable systems. Pulse

skipping mode operation provides very low output ripple voltage for

noise sensitive applications. Switching frequency is internally set at

1.4MHz, allowing the use of small surface mount inductors and

capacitors. The internal synchronous switch increases efficiency

and decreases need of an external Schottky diode. Low output

voltages are easily supported with the 0.6V feedback reference

voltage.
