PRODUCTION DATA
The LMQ644xx can start up from 3.5 V to 36 V, after start-up the input voltage range can extend down to 3 V. The device is intended for step-down conversions from 12-V automotive and 24-V industrial supply rails. The application circuit shows all the necessary components to implement an LMQ644xx based wide-VIN dual-output step-down regulator using a single supply. The LMQ644xx uses an internal LDO subregulator to provide a VCC bias rail for the gate drive and control circuits.
In high input voltage applications, take extra care to make sure the VIN and SW pins do not exceed their absolute maximum voltage rating of 42 V during line or load transient events. Voltage excursions that exceed the maximum ratings can damage the IC. Proceed carefully during PCB board layout and use high-quality input bypass capacitors to minimize voltage overshoot and ringing.
