The LM61440-Q1 is an
automotive-focused, high-performance, DC-DC synchronous step-down converter. With
integrated high-side and low-side MOSFETs, up to 4 A of output current is delivered
over a wide input range of 3.0 V to 36 V; tolerant of 42 V, easing input surge
protection design. The LM61440-Q1 implements soft recovery from dropout eliminating
overshoot on the output.
The LM61440-Q1 is specifically
designed for minimal EMI. The device incorporates pseudo-random spread spectrum,
adjustable SW node rise time, low-EMI VQFN-HR package featuring low switch node
ringing, and optimized pinout for ease of use. The switching frequency can be set or
synchronized between 200 kHz and 2.2 MHz to avoid
noise sensitive frequency bands. In addition the frequency can be selected for
improved efficiency at low operating frequency or smaller solution size at high
operating frequency.
Auto-mode enables frequency foldback
when operating at light loads, allowing an unloaded current consumption of only 7 µA
(typical) and high light load efficiency. Seamless transition between PWM and PFM
modes, along with very low MOSFET ON resistances and an external bias input, ensures
exceptional efficiency across the entire load range.
