FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LMR14203 is a PWM DC/DC buck (step-down)
2
• Input Voltage Range of 4.5V to 42V
regulator. With a wide input range from 4.5V-42V, it is
• Output Voltage Range of 0.765V to 34V
suitable for a wide range of applications such as
• Output Current up to 0.3A
power conditioning from unregulated sources. They
feature a low R
DSON
(0.9Ω typical) internal switch for
• 1.25 MHz Switching Frequency
maximum efficiency (85% typical). Operating
• Low Shutdown Iq, 16 µA Typical
frequency is fixed at 1.25 MHz allowing the use of
• Short Circuit Protected
small external components while still being able to
have low output voltage ripple. Soft-start can be
• Internally Compensated
implemented using the shutdown pin with an external
• Soft-Start Function
RC circuit allowing the user to tailor the soft-start time
• Thin SOT-23-6 Package (2.97 x 1.65 x 1mm)
to a specific application.
• Fully Enabled for WEBENCH® Power Designer
The LMR14203 is optimized for up to 300 mA load
current.
PERFORMANCE BENEFITS
Additional features include: thermal shutdown, V
IN
• Tight Accuracy for Powering Digital ICs
under-voltage lockout, and gate drive under-voltage
• Extremely Easy to Use
lockout. The LMR14203 is available in a low profile
SOT-6L package.
