DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit
DC1872A
a high efficiency, high density switch mode step-down
power µModule
regulator. The input voltage range is
®
from 4.5V to 20V. The output voltage is jumper pro-
grammable from 1.0V to 1.8V with a rated load current
of 20A. Derating is necessary for certain V
quency and thermal conditions. The DC1872A offers the
TRACK/SS pin, allowing the user to program output track-
ing or soft-start period. The DC1872A allows the user to
