The LM21305 is a full-featured adjustable frequency synchronous buck point-of-load regulator capable of delivering up to 5 A of continuous output current. The device is optimized to work over an input voltage range of 3 V to 18 V and an output voltage range of 0.598 V to 5 V, making it suitable for wide variety of applications. The LM21305 provides excellent output voltage accuracy and superior line and load transient response for digital loads. The device offers flexible system configuration through programmable switching frequency through an external resistor with ability to synchronize the switching frequency to an external clock. The frequency can be set from 300 kHz to 1.5 MHz. The device also provides the following:
The device features internal overvoltage protection (OVP) and overcurrent protection (OCP) circuits for increased system reliability. A precision enable pin and integrated undervoltage lockout (UVLO) allows the turn-on of the device to be tightly controlled and sequenced. Fault detection and supply sequencing are possible with the integrated power good circuit.
The LM21305 is offered in a WQFN-28 package with an exposed pad for enhanced thermal performance. The LM21305 evaluation board comes ready to operate at the following conditions:
