LM70880-Q1

The LM70880-Q1 is a compact, easy-to-use, 4.5-V to 80-V, ultra-low I Q, synchronous step-down DC/DC converter featuring a versatile buck controller and a pair of power MOSFETs designed for delivering of up to 8 A of output current at fixed output voltages of 3.3 V, 5 V, 12 V, or an adjustable output.

The converter uses a peak current-mode control architecture for easy loop compensation, fast transient response, and excellent load and line regulation. A pair of LM70880-Q1 converters can be set up in an interleaved mode (paralleled outputs) with accurate current sharing for applications requiring up to 16 A of output current.

The LM70880-Q1 features a unique Dual Random Spread Spectrum (DRSS) function that combines a low-frequency triangular modulation with a high-frequency cycle-by-cycle random modulation for improved EMI performance across a high range of radio frequency bands.

Additional features of the LM70880-Q1 include user-selectable diode emulation for lower current consumption at light-load conditions, open-drain Power-Good flag for fault reporting and output monitoring, precision enable input, monotonic start-up into prebiased load, integrated VCC bias supply regulator, internal 2.75-ms soft-start time, and thermal shutdown protection with automatic recovery.

The LM70880-Q1 converter comes in a 6-mm × 6-mm thermally-optimized, 29-pin QFN package. The three die-attach pads (VIN, SW, and PGND) improve thermal performance and board level reliability (BLR).
