    0.6 V to 1.195 V through a high speed (up to 3.4 MHz), bi- directional I C bus. The LX7180A operates from 3 V to 5.5 V rails and outputs 0.6 V to 100% of the input voltage. Cycle-by-cycle current limiting protects against over-current conditions. Hiccup mode provides protection for heavy over-load or short-circuit faults.
