DESCRIPTION
The IR3710 is a single-phase sync-buck PWM
controller optimized for efficiency in high performance
portable electronics. The switching modulator uses
constant on-time control. Constant on-time with diode
emulation provides the highest light-load efficiency
required for all.
Programmable switching frequency, soft start, and over
current protection allows for a very flexible solution
suitable for many different applications. The
combination of the gate drive charge pump option and
constant on time control allow efficiency optimization in
the whole output current range, making this device an
ideal choice for battery powered applications.
Additional features include pre-bias startup, very
precise 0.5V reference, over/under voltage shut down,
power good output, and enable input with voltage
monitoring capability.
