PS1216 4V to 16V Input, 6A Sync Step-Down Converter  | General Description The PS1216 is a fully integrated, high-frequency, synchronous, step-down converter. It provides a very compact solution that achieves up to 6A output current with excellent load and line regulation over wide input voltage range. PS1216 has high working efficiency over its output current load range. PS1216 uses proprietary Turbo Constant-On-Time (TCOTTM) control with internal compensation to provide fast transient response and simplified loop stability. The switching frequency can be easily set to 600kHz or 1.1MHz. The switching frequency of PS1216 remains constant regardless of input and output voltages. The soft start process is controlled by an internal 1.4msec timer, which can be increased by adding a capacitor from REF to GND. The open-drain power good (PGOOD) signal indicates whether the output is within its nominal voltage range. When the input power fails to power the PS1216, PGOOD is clamped at about 0.7V by an external pull-up voltage. PS1216 is equipped with full suites of protection functions which includes over-current protection (OCP), overvoltage protection (OVP), under-voltage protection (UVP), and over-temperature protection (OTP). |
