AS1341
650mA, Ultra low Ri pple S tep Do w n DC/DC Converter
1 General Description
The AS1341 is a high-efficiency step-down converter with adjustable
output voltages from 1.25V to V
IN
using supply voltages of up to
20V.
An integrated current-limited 0.4Ω MOSFET delivers load currents
up to 600mA.
The AS1341 also includes a 100% duty cycle LDO mode with a low
dropout of only 250mV for high efficiency if input voltages is in the
range of the output voltage.
The AS1341 has a low quiescent current (12µA) to improve light-
load efficiency and minimize battery use, and draws only 0.8µA in
shutdown mode.
High switching frequencies (up to 200kHz) allow the use of small
surface-mount inductors and output capacitors.
The device is available in a TDFN-8 3x3mm pin package.
