The LM27402 is a voltage-mode, synchronous, DC/DC step-down controller with lossless inductor DCR current sensing capability. Sensing the inductor current eliminates the need to add resistive powertrain elements, which increases overall efficiency and facilitates accurate, continuous current sensing. A 0.6-V ±1% voltage reference enables high accuracy and low voltage capability at the output. An input operating voltage range of 3 V to 20 V makes the LM27402 suitable for a large variety of input rails.

The LM27402 voltage-mode control loop incorporates input voltage feed forward to maintain stability throughout the entire input-voltage range. The switching frequency is adjustable from 200 kHz to
1.2 MHz. Dual, high-current, integrated MOSFET drivers support large QG, low RDS(on) power MOSFETs. A power-good indicator provides power-rail-sequencing capability and output fault detection. An adjustable external soft start limits inrush current and provides monotonic output control during start-up. Other features include external tracking of other power supplies, integrated LDO bias supply, and synchronization capability.
