DESCRIPTION
The LM20333 is a full featured synchronous buck
regulator capable of delivering up to 3A of load
current. The current mode control loop is externally
compensated with only two components, offering both
high performance and ease of use. The device is
optimized to work over the input voltage range of
4.5V to 36V making it well suited for high voltage
systems.
The device features internal Over Voltage Protection
(OVP) and Over Current Protection (OCP) circuits for
increased system reliability. A precision Enable pin
and integrated UVLO allows the turn on of the device
to be tightly controlled and sequenced. Startup inrush
currents are limited by both an internally fixed and
externally adjustable soft-start circuit. Fault detection
and supply sequencing are possible with the
integrated power good (PGOOD) circuit.
The LM20333 is designed to work well in multi-rail
power supply architectures. The output voltage of the
device can be configured to track a higher voltage rail
using the SS/TRK pin. If the output of the LM20333 is
pre-biased at startup it will not sink current to pull the
output low until the internal soft-start ramp exceeds
the voltage at the feedback pin.
The switching frequency of the LM20333 can be
synchronized to an external clock by use of the
SYNC pin. The SYNC pin is capable of synchronizing
to input signals ranging from 250 kHz to 1.5 MHz.
The LM20333 is offered in an exposed pad 20-pin
HTSSOP package that can be soldered to the PCB,
eliminating the need for bulky heatsinks.
