36 V, 1 A, Synchronous, Step-Down DC-to-DC

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The

ADP2442-EVALZ

switching regulator design based on the ADP2442, a configurable,
1 A, synchronous, step-down dc-to-dc regulator.
The
ADP2442
regulator that uses a current mode pulse-width modulation
(PWM) control scheme. The
pulse skip mode at light load or forced PWM mode. The power
switch and synchronous rectifier are integrated for minimal
external part count and high efficiency. The
optimized for operation with small ferrite core inductors and
ceramic capacitors to deliver the maximum output power per
square millimeter of the printed circuit board (PCB) area.
The
ADP2442-EVALZ
a switching frequency set to 500 kHz. If needed, the
EVALZ
configuration can be modified by changing the values
of the appropriate passive components.
