verter with an input voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V and
output voltage as low as 0.6V. It is optimized to react
quickly to a load variation.
The AAT1146 is available in fixed voltage versions with
internal feedback and a programmable version with
external feedback resistors. It can deliver 400mA of load
current while maintaining a low 27μA no load quiescent
current. The 1.4MHz switching frequency minimizes the
size of external components while keeping switching
losses low.
The AAT1146 is designed to maintain high efficiency
throughout the operating range, which is critical for por-
table applications.
The AAT1146 is available in the Pb-free, space-saving
2.0x2.1mm SC70JW-8 and SOT23-5 packages and is
rated over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
