2. Description
The LXDC3EP series is a 1A output step-down DC-DC converter, which is suitable for a space-limited or
noise-sensitive application. The device utilizes an inductor-embedded ferrite substrate, and the substrate
eliminates radiated EMI noise and conduction noise efficiently.
With just this device, it can be used as a LDO replacement Its low noise feature assures reliable power supply
replacement.

The LXDC3EP series has a mode pin that allows the user to select Forced PWM mode or Power
Power-Save mode that
changes modes between pulse-skip operation and PWM operation automatically depending on the load.

battery life. When Forced PWM mode is selected, it works at a fixed frequency (4MHz) within the load range. The
advantages of this mode are easy filtering of the switching frequency and a better load transient response.
The integrated over current protection and the thermal shutdown protection features offer reliable power supply
operation.

Function
This is the ON/OFF control pin of the device. The device is in shutdown
mode when the voltage to this pin is below 0.4V. Pulling this pin above 1.2V
turns on the device with a soft start. This pin should not be left floating.
EN=H: Device ON, EN=L: Device OFF
Ground pin
Regulated voltage output pin.
Apply output load between this pin and GND.
This is the operation mode select pin. This pin must not be left floating and
must be terminated.
Mode=H: Forced PWM mode
Mode=L: Power-Save mode
The Vin pin supplies current to the LXDC3EP internal regulator.
