The IR3842 SupIRBuckTM is an easy-to-use, fully
integrated
and
highly
efficient
DC/DC
synchronous Buck regulator. The MOSFETs copackaged with the on-chip PWM controller make
IR3842 a space-efficient solution, providing
accurate power delivery for low output voltage
applications.
IR3842 is a versatile regulator which offers
programmability of start up time, switching
frequency and current limit while operating in
wide input and output voltage range.
The switching frequency is programmable from
250kHz to 1.5MHz for an optimum solution.
It also features important protection functions,
such as Pre-Bias startup, hiccup current limit and
thermal shutdown to give required system level
security in the event of fault conditions.
