1.2 A synchronous buck in a 10-pin HVSSOP
The 1.25 MHz switching frequency keeps the inductor small — typically 4.7 µH to 10 µH — which matters when board area is tight and the load is a 1.8 V rail for an MCU, FPGA core, or RF front-end.
Fixed 1.8 V output — one less divider
The output is factory-set to 1.8 V, so no external feedback resistor network is needed. That saves two components and one feedback-node routing headache. The synchronous rectifier improves efficiency at light loads, which is relevant for battery-powered or always-on systems where quiescent current matters.
