The LM61460-Q1 is an automotive-focused,
high-performance, DC-DC synchronous step-down converter. With integrated high-side
and low-side MOSFETs, up to 6 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
LM61460-Q1 implements soft recovery from dropout eliminating overshoot on the
output.
The LM61460-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.
