STMicroelectronics L6725/L6725A Voltage Mode PWM Controller Datasheet

This is a voltage mode PWM controller with a supply voltage range from 1.8V to 18V and an input voltage range from 4.5V to 18V. It features an adjustable output voltage down to 0.6V with ±0.8% accuracy over line voltage and temperature (0°C~125°C). It also has fixed frequency voltage mode control, 0% to 100% duty cycle, external input voltage reference, soft-start and inhibit, bootstrap anti-discharging system, high current embedded drivers, predictive anti-cross conduction control, programmable high-side and low-side RDS(on) sense over-current-protection, selectable switching frequency 250KHz/500KHz, power good and synch available with L6725A, pre-bias start up capability, over voltage protection, thermal shut-down, and is suitable for low voltage distributed DC-DC and graphic card applications.
