AIC1577
External NMOS Step-Down PWM Controller
DESCRIPTION
The AIC1577 is a current mode switching
regulator controller that drives external N-
channel
power
MOSFET
using
a
fixed
frequency architecure. It uses external divider
to adjust output voltage from 0.8V to 20V with
excellent line and load regulation. A maximum
high duty cycle limit of 95% provides low
dropout operation which extends operating
time in battery-operated systems.
Switching frequency up to 500KHz are
achievable thus allowing smaller sized filter
components. The operating current level is
user-programmable via an external current
sense
resistor.
It
also
provide
output

Note 1:
Specifications are production tested at TA=25°C. Specifications over the -40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation with Statistical Quality
Controls (SQC).
Note 2:
Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being delivered at the switching frequency.
