3 Description

The LM46002 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 60 V. The LM46002 provides

exceptional efficiency, output accuracy and drop-out

voltage in a very small solution size. An extended

family is available in various load current options and

36-V maximum input voltage in pin-to-pin compatible

packages, including LM46001, LM46000, LM43603,

LM43602, LM43601 and LM43600. Peak-currentmode

control is employed to achieve simple controlloop

compensation and cycle-by-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-touse

platform for a wide range of applications.

Discontinuous conduction and automatic frequency

reduction at light loads improve light load efficiency.

The family requires few external components. Pin

arrangement allows simple, optimum PCB layout.

Protection features include thermal shutdown, VCC

undervoltage lockout, cycle-by-cycle current limit, and

output short-circuit protection. The LM46002 device is

available in the 16-lead HTSSOP / PWP package

(6.6 mm × 5.1 mm × 1.2 mm) with 0.65-mm lead

pitch.
