Description
The IFX90121 is a high frequency PWM step-down DC/DC converter with an integrated PMOS power switch,
packaged in a small PG-SSOP-14 with exposed pad. The wide input voltage range from 4.75 to 45 V makes the
IFX90121 suitable for a wide variety of applications.
The switching frequency of nominal 2.2 MHz allows the use of small and cost-effective inductors and capacitors,
resulting in a low, predictable output voltage ripple and in minimized consumption of board space.
In light load condition the device operates in Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) to optimize the efficiency.
Between the single pulses, all internal controlling circuitry is switched off to reduce the internal power consumption.
The IFX90121 includes protection features such as a cycle-by-cycle current limitation, over-temperature shutdown
and input under voltage lockout. The enable function, in shutdown mode with less than 2 µA current consumption,
enables easy power management in battery-powered systems.
The voltage regulation loop provides an excellent line and load regulation, the stability of the loop is ensured by
an internal compensation network. This compensation network combined with a current mode regulation control
guarantees a highly effective line transient rejection. During start-up the integrated soft-start limits the inrush
current peak and prevents an output voltage overshoot.

Synchronization Input
Connect to an external clock signal in order to synchronize/adjust the switching frequency. This
feature is not functionally in PFM mode.
Frequency Adjustment Pin
Connect an external resistor to GND to adjust the switching frequency, do not leave open. In
case the synchronization option is used, the resistor must be dimensioned close to the desired
synchronization frequency.

Internally not connected. Leave open or connect to GND.
Feedback Input
Connect this pin directly to the output capacitor. Also input for internal power supply. The internal
power supply is taken from the output voltage.
