DESCRIPTION
• 1.5% Feedback Voltage Accuracy
The LM20323 is a full featured 500kHz synchronous
• Current Mode Control, Selectable
buck regulator capable of delivering up to 3A of load
Compensation
current. The current mode control loop is externally
• Fixed 500 kHz Switching Frequency
compensated with only two components, offering both
high performance and ease of use. The device is
• Adjustable Output Voltage Down to 0.8V
optimized to work over the input voltage range of
• Compatible with Pre-biased Loads
4.5V to 36V making it well suited for high voltage
• Programmable Soft-start with External
systems.
Capacitor
The device features internal Over Voltage Protection
• Precision Enable Pin with Hysteresis
(OVP) and Over Current Protection (OCP) circuits for
increased system reliability. A precision Enable pin
• Integrated OVP, UVLO, PGOOD
and integrated UVLO allows the turn-on of the device
• Internally Protected with Peak Current Limit,
to be tightly controlled and sequenced. Startup inrush
Thermal Shutdown and Restart
currents are limited by both an internally fixed and
• Accurate Current Limit Minimizes Inductor
externally adjustable soft-start circuit. Fault detection
Size
and supply sequencing are possible with the
integrated power good (PGOOD) circuit.
• Non-linear Current Mode Slope Compensation
• 20-Pin HTSSOP Exposed Pad Package
