Description

The PDS840 is an adjustable frequency monolithic buck switching regulator used for electronic components. It accepts a wide input voltage range up to 42V. Low quiescent current design consumes only 2.7µA of supply current while regulating with no load. Low ripple Burst Mode operation maintains high efficiency at low output currents while keeping the output ripple below 15mV in a typical application. The PDS840 can supply up to 2.5A of load current and has current limit foldback to limit power dissipation during a short circuit. A low dropout voltage of 500mV is maintained when the input voltage drops below the programmed output voltage.
