• High efficiency on-card switching regulatorsPinoutDescriptionThe 910.25 family of highly flexible, easy to use PFM controllers is ideal for the use in wide input range switching regulator applications.
An advanced PFM control scheme of 910.25 gives these devices the benefits of PWM converters with high efficiency for heavy loads, while using very low operating current for light loads to maintain excellent behaviour with output load variation.
The switching circuits of 910.25 are suitable for topologies requiring low side FET, such as boost, flyback, Sepic, etc. Depending on the utilized topology the controllers are capable of producing regulated positive or negative output voltage.
Operating from 3V to 60V supply and in temperature ranges from -40 to 125 the 910.25 is well suited for automotive applications. Requiring a minimum number of external components, these regulators are simple to use and cost-saving.
Self-protection features of 910.25 include an overload detection circuit, an overtemperature shutdown under fault conditions and an under-voltage lockout.
