Fairchild Semiconductor FAN8303 2A Step-Down DC/DC Regulator Datasheet

The FAN8303 is a monolithic, non-synchronous, step-down (buck) regulator with internal power MOSFETs. It achieves 2A continuous output current over a wide input supply range with excellent load and line regulation. Current-mode operation provides fast transient response and eases loop stabilization. Fault condition protection includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting and thermal shutdown. The regulator draws less than 40µA shutdown current. FAN8303 requires a minimum number of readily available standard external components. External compensation, enable, and programmable soft-start features allow design optimization and flexibility. Cycle-by-cycle current limit, frequency foldback, and thermal shutdown provide protection against shorted outputs.
