Semtech | SC401BEVB

The SC401BEVB is a Evaluation Board for 15 A Integrated FET Regulator with Programmable LDO. It is a stand-alone synchronous EcoSpeedTM buck power supply which incorporates Semtech’s advanced patented adaptive on-time control architecture. This provides excellent light-load efficiency and fast transient response.

It features integrated power MOSFETs, a bootstrap switch, and a programmable LDO in a 5x5mm package. The device is highly efficient and uses minimal PCB area. The SC401B has the same package and pin configuration as the entire SC40xB series for compatibility.

The SC401B supports using standard capacitor types such as electrolytic or specialty polymer, in addition to ceramic, at switching frequencies up to 1MHz. The programmable frequency, synchronous operation, and selectable power save provide high efficiency operation over a wide load range.
