A4408 Buck or Buck-Boost Pre-Regulator

Allegro's A4408 is a power management IC that uses a buck or buck/boost pre-regulator to efficiently convert automotive battery voltages into a tightly regulated intermediate voltage complete with control, diagnostics, and protections. The output of the pre-regulator supplies a 5 V/250 mAMAX tracking/protected LDO, a 3.3 V/160 mA LDO, a 5 V/150 mA LDO, and a 1.25 V/1 A synchronous buck regulator. Designed to supply CAN or microprocessor power supplies in high temperature environments, the A4408 is ideal for under-hood applications.

Features Applications
  • 2.8 VIN to 36 VIN operating range, 40 VIN maximum
  • Wide VIN including idle-stop and load-dump
  • Buck or buck/boost pre-regulator (VREG)
  • Flexibility depending on VIN range
  • Adjustable PWM switching frequency: 250 KHz to 2.4 MHz
  • Can operate above or below the AM band
  • PWM frequency can be synchronized to external clock
  • Can synchronize to system clock
  • 1.25 V/750 mA synchronous buck (1 V 25)
  • Buck for higher current rails such as µC/µP core
  • Automotive control modules for:
    • Electronic power steering (EPS)
    • Transmission control units (TCU)
    • Advanced braking systems (ABS)
    • Emissions control modules
    • Other automotive applications
