3 Description
The LM284x-Q1 SIMPLE SWITCHER™ devices are
PWM DC/DC buck (step-down) regulators. With an
input range from 4.5 V to 42 V, they are suitable for a
wide range of applications, such as power
conditioning from unregulated sources. They feature
a low RDSON (0.9‑Ω typical) internal switch for
maximum efficiency (85% typical). Operating
frequency is fixed at 550 kHz (X option) and
1.25 MHz (Y option), allowing the use of small
external components while still being able to have low
output voltage ripple. Soft start can be implemented
using the shutdown (SHDN) pin with an external RC
circuit allowing the user to tailor the soft-start time to
a specific application.
The LM2840-Q1 is optimized for up to 100 mA, the
LM2841-Q1 for up to 300 mA, and the LM2842-Q1
for up to 600‑mA load currents. They all have a
0.765-V nominal feedback voltage.
Additional features include: thermal shutdown, VIN
undervoltage lockout, and gate-drive undervoltage
lockout. The LM284x-Q1 are available in a low-profile
SOT-6L package.
