3 Description

The LM43602-Q1 regulator is an easy-to-use

synchronous step-down DC-DC converter capable of

driving up to 2 A of load current from an input voltage

ranging from 3.5 V to 36 V (42 V abs maximum). The

LM43602-Q1 provides exceptional efficiency, output

accuracy and dropout voltage in a very small solution

size. An extended family is available in 0.5-A , 1-A,

and 3-A load current options in pin-to-pin compatible

packages. Peak current mode control is employed to

achieve simple control loop compensation and cycleby-

cycle current limiting. Optional features such as

programmable switching frequency, synchronization,

power-good flag, precision enable, internal soft-start,

extendable soft-start, and tracking provide a flexible

and easy to use platform for a wide range of

applications. Discontinuous conduction and automatic

frequency modulation at light loads improve light load

efficiency. The family requires few external

components and pin arrangement allows simple,

optimum PCB layout. Protection features include

thermal shutdown, VCC undervoltage lockout, cycleby-

cycle current limit, and output short-circuit

protection. The LM43602-Q1 device is available in

the HTSSOP (PWP) 16-pin leaded package (6.6 mm

× 5.1 mm × 1.2 mm).The LM43602A-Q1 version is

optimized for PFM operation and recommended for

new designs. The device is pin-to-pin compatible with

LM4360x and LM4600x family.
