The LM62440-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; 42-V
tolerance supports load dump for durations of 400
ms. The LM62440-Q1 implements soft recovery from
dropout, eliminating overshoot on the output.
The LM62440-Q1 is specifically designed for
minimal EMI. The device incorporates pseudorandom
spread spectrum, adjustable SW node rise time, a
low-EMI VQFN-HR package featuring low switch node
ringing, and an optimized pinout for ease of use.
The switching frequency can be synchronized
between 200 kHz and 2.2 MHz to avoid noise
sensitive frequency bands. In addition, either
2.1-MHz or 400-kHz frequency factory options 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,
provides exceptional efficiency across the entire
load range.
