GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XRP6141 is a synchronous step-down
controller for point-of load supplies up to 35A.
A wide 4.5V to 22V input voltage range allows
for single supply operation from industry
standard 5V, 12V and 19.6V rails.
With a proprietary emulated current mode
Constant On-Time (COT) control scheme, the
XRP6141 provides extremely fast line and load
transient
response
capacitors. It requires no loop compensation
hence simplifying circuit implementation and
reducing
overall
component
control loop also provides exceptional line
regulation and maintains constant operating
frequency.
A selectable power saving mode,
allows the user to operate in discontinuous
mode (DCM) at light current loads thereby
significantly
increasing
efficiency.
A host of protection features, including over-
current, over-temperature, short-circuit and
UVLO, help achieve safe operation under
abnormal operating conditions.
