The LM27402 is a voltage-mode, synchronous, DC/DC step-down controller with lossless
inductor DCR current sensing capability. Sensing the inductor current eliminates the need to add
resistive powertrain elements, which increases overall efficiency and facilitates accurate,
continuous current sensing. A 0.6-V ±1% voltage reference enables high accuracy and low voltage
capability at the output. An input operating voltage range of 3 V to 20 V makes the LM27402
suitable for a large variety of input rails.
The LM27402 voltage-mode control loop incorporates input voltage feed forward to maintain
stability throughout the entire input-voltage range. The switching frequency is adjustable from 200
kHz to
1.2 MHz. Dual, high-current, integrated MOSFET drivers support large
QG, low RDS(on) power MOSFETs. A power-good indicator
provides power-rail-sequencing capability and output fault detection. An adjustable external soft
start limits inrush current and provides monotonic output control during start-up. Other features
include external tracking of other power supplies, integrated LDO bias supply, and synchronization
capability.
