Step-down regulator with synchronous rectification
The LTC1879EGN#PBF is a current-mode step-down (buck) switching regulator delivering a positive adjustable output from 0.8 V up to the input voltage. It integrates a synchronous rectifier, so no external Schottky catch diode is needed. The fixed 550 kHz switching frequency sets the inductor value and EMI profile. Output current is rated at 1.2 A continuous, and the input range spans 2.65 V to 10 V.
Housed in a 16-lead SSOP (0.154" body width, 3.90 mm), this is a surface-mount part intended for reflow assembly.
