1 General Description
The AS1341 is a high-efficiency step-down converter with adjustable
output voltages from 1.25V to V
IN
using supply voltages of up to
20V.
An integrated current-limited 0.4Ω MOSFET delivers load currents
up to 600mA.
The AS1341 also includes a 100% duty cycle LDO mode with a low
dropout of only 250mV for high efficiency if input voltages is in the
range of the output voltage.
The AS1341 has a low quiescent current (12µA) to improve light-
load efficiency and minimize battery use, and draws only 0.8µA in
shutdown mode.
High switching frequencies (up to 200kHz) allow the use of small
surface-mount inductors and output capacitors.
The device is available in a TDFN-8 3x3mm pin package.

Description
Feedback Input.
For the fixed 5V output connect this pin to GND. For adjustable output, connect to a
resistive divider between V
OUT
and GND to set the output voltage between 1.25V and V
IN
.
Ground
Power OK.
Active-low open-drain reset output.
Note:
Connect pin POK to GND when the Power-Ok feature is not used.
Inductor Connection.
Connect this pin to an external inductor.
4.5V to 20V Input Supply Voltage
Peak Current Control Input.
Connect this pin to IN or GND to set peak current limit
(see Setting
Current Limit on page 11).
Shutdown Input.
A low on this pin puts the AS1341 into shutdown mode. Supply current is reduced to
0.8µA and LX goes high-impedance.
Regulated Output Voltage High-Impedance Sense Input.
For the fixed 5V output connect this pin to
V
OUT
. For adjustable output connect this pin to GND.
Exposed Pad.
This pad is not connected internally. Connect to GND or do not connect.
