Semtech SC1182/3 Programmable Synchronous DC/DC Converter Datasheet
The $C1182/3 combines a synchronous voltage mode controller with two low-dropout linear regulators to implement three DC/DC converters. The switching section operates at a fixed frequency of 200kHz and features an integrated 5-bit D/A converter for programmable output voltages ranging from 2.0V to 3.5V without external components.
The device includes logic-compatible shutdown, pulse-by-pulse current limiting, and on-chip power good signaling. The linear sections provide fixed or adjustable low-dropout regulation suitable for GTL bus and non-GTL I/O requirements.
