DESCRIPTION
The family of highly flexible, easy to use PFM controllers is ideal
for the use in wide input range switching regulator applications.
An advanced PFM control scheme gives these devices the benefits
of PWM converters with high efficiency for heavy loads, while us-
ing very low operating current for light loads to maintain excel-
lent behaviour with output load variation.
The switching circuits are suitable for topologies requiring low
side FET, such as boost, flyback, Sepic, etc. Depending on the uti-
lized topology the controllers are capable of producing regulated
positive or negative output voltage.
Operating from
3
V to
60
V supply and in temperature ranges from
–
40
°C to +
125
°C the device is well suited for automotive appli-
cations. Requiring a minimum number of external components,
these regulators are simple to use and cost-saving.
Self-protection features include an overload detection circuit, an
overtemperature shutdown under fault conditions and an under-
voltage lockout.
