JAJSQL9C may 2018 – august 2023 LV3842
ADVANCE INFORMATION
The LV3842 regulator is an easy to use synchronous step-down DC-DC converter operating from 4-V to 36-V supply voltage. The device is capable of delivering up to 600-mA DC load current in a very small solution size.
The LV3842 employs fixed-frequency peak-current mode control. The device enters PFM Mode at light load to achieve high efficiency for PFM version. And FPWM version is provided to achieve low output voltage ripple, tight output voltage regulation, and constant switching frequency at light load. The device is internally compensated, which reduces design time, and requires few external components.
Additional features such as precision enable and internal soft start provide a flexible and easy to use solution for a wide range of applications. Protection features include thermal shutdown, VIN undervoltage lockout, cycle-by-cycle current limit, and hiccup mode short-circuit protection.
The LV3842 requires very few external components and has a pin-out designed for simple, optimum PCB layout.
