3 Description

The CSD95379Q3M NexFET™ power stage is a

highly optimized design for use in high-power, highdensity

synchronous buck converters. This product

integrates the driver IC and NexFET technology to

complete the power stage switching function. The

driver IC has a built-in selectable diode emulation

function that enables DCM operation to improve light

load efficiency. In addition, the driver IC supports

ULQ mode that enables Connected Standby for

Windows® 8. With the PWM input in tri-state,

quiescent current is reduced to 130 μA, with

immediate response. When SKIP# is held at tri-state,

the current is reduced to 8 μA (typically 20 μs is

required to resume switching). This combination

produces high-current, high-efficiency, and highspeed

switching capability in a small 3.3-mm × 3.3-

mm outline package. In addition, the PCB footprint

has been optimized to help reduce design time and

simplify the completion of the overall system design.
