1MHz 3A Step-Down DC/DC Converter
General Description
The AAT1154 SwitchReg is a step-down switching
converter ideal for applications where high efficien-
cy, small size, and low ripple are critical. Able to
deliver 3A with an internal power MOSFET, the cur-
rent-mode controlled IC provides high efficiency.
Fully internally compensated, the AAT1154 simpli-
fies system design and lowers external parts count.
The AAT1154 is available in a Pb-free SOP-8 pack-
age and is rated over the -40°C to +85°C tempera-
ture range.

Function
Feedback input pin. This pin must be connected to the converter
output. It is used to set the converter output to regulate to the
desired value.
Ground connection.
Enable input pin. When connected high, the AAT1154 is in normal
operation; when connected low, it is powered down. This pin
should not be left floating.
Power supply: supplies power for the internal circuitry.
Input supply voltage for converter power stage.
Inductor connection pins. These pins should be connected to the
output inductor. Internally, Pins 6 and 7 are connected to the drain
of the P-channel switch.

1. Stresses above those listed in Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. Functional operation at condi-
tions other than the operating conditions specified is not implied. Only one Absolute Maximum Rating should be applied at any one time.
2. Human body model is a 100pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5kΩ resistor into each pin.
3. Mounted on a demo board (FR4, in still air).
4. Derate 9.1mW/°C above 25°C.
