Description
The NX9415 is synchronous buck switching
converter in a multi chip module designed for step-
down DC to DC converter applications.
optimized to convert bus voltages from 8V to 22V to
as low as 0.8V output voltage. The output current
can be up to 5A. An internal regulator converts bus
voltage to 5V, which provides a voltage supply to the
internal logic and driver circuits. The NX9415
operates from 200 kHz to 2.2MHz and employs loss-
less current limiting by sensing the R
DSON
of
synchronous MOSFET followed by hiccup feature.
Feedback under voltage protection triggers hiccup.
Other features of the device are: internal Schottky
diode, thermal shutdown, 5V gate drive, adaptive
deadband control, internal digital soft start, 5VREG
under-voltage lock out and shutdown capability via
the comp pin. NX9415 is available in 4x4 MCM
package.
