3 Description

The LMZ22003 SIMPLE SWITCHER® power module

is an easy-to-use step-down DC-DC solution capable of driving up to 3-A load. The LMZ22003 is available

in an innovative package that enhances thermal

performance and allows for hand or machine

soldering.

The LMZ22003 can accept an input voltage rail

between 6 V and 20 V and can deliver an adjustable

and highly accurate output voltage as low as 0.8 V.

The LMZ22003 only requires two external resistors and three external capacitors to complete the power

solution. The LMZ22003 is a reliable and robust

design with the following protection features: thermal

shutdown, programmable input undervoltage lockout, output overvoltage protection, short circuit protection,

output current limit, and this device allows start-up

into a prebiased output. The sync input allows

synchronization over the 650- to 950-kHz switching

frequency range.
