LMZ14201EXTEVAL: 3.3V @ 1A, 6 ~ 42V in

The LMZ14203EXT/2EXT/1EXT SIMPLE SWITCHER® power modules are easy-to-use DC-DC solution capable of driving up to a 1A, 2A, or 3A load, respectively, with exceptional power conversion efficiency, output voltage accuracy, line and load regulation. They are available in an innovative package that enhances thermal performance and allows for hand or machine soldering.

The LMZ14203EXT/2EXT/1EXT can accept an input voltage rail between 6V and 42V. The devices can deliver an adjustable and highly accurate output voltage as low as 0.8V and as high as 6V. The control structure is constant on-time with input voltage feed forward. This creates a nearly constant switching frequency across the input voltage range. The control loop operates well with low ESR output capacitors such as ceramics.

An output feed-forward capacitor across the upper feedback resistor trims for optimum transient response. The precision enable input allows for programmable UVLO of the input supply. The external soft-start capacitor facilitates controlled startup output rise time.

The LMZ1420xEXT family is a reliable and robust solution with the following features: lossless cycle-by-cycle valley current limit to protect for over current or short-circuit fault, thermal shutdown, input under-voltage lock-out, and will start up into a pre-biased output. The LMZ1420xEXT family is shock and vibration certified and rated for operation down to –55°C.
