DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 1722A is a high voltage, current
mode DC/DC step-down converter featuring the
The board operates from an input range of 3.5V to 55V,
and provides a 5V, 2A output when the input exceeds 5V.
The PMOSFET architecture allows it to operate seamlessly
up to 100% duty cycle, and function as a saturated switch
below the regulation threshold, down to 3.5V
at 350kHz and may be synchronized to an external clock.
A soft-start feature controls output voltage slew rate at
start-up, reducing current surge and voltage overshoot.
