The A4402 is a dual-output regulator, combining in a single
package a constant on-time buck regulator and a linear regulator
(LDO)—each with adjustable output voltages. It is ideal for
applications that require two regulated voltages, such as in
microcontroller- or DSP-based applications requiring core
and I/O voltage rails.
The buck regulator output supplies the adjustable linear
regulator to reduce power dissipation and increase overall
efficiency. The switching regulator is capable of operating
above 2 MHz, allowing the use of small low value inductors
and capacitors while avoiding sensitive EMI frequency bands
such as AM radio in automotive applications.
Protection features include undervoltage lockout and thermal
shutdown. In case of a shorted load, each regulator features
overcurrent protection.
The device has an integrated power-on reset with adjustable
delay to monitor LDO output voltage and provide a signal that
can be used to reset a DSP or microcontroller. It also includes
a watchdog circuit.
The A4402 is provided in a 16-pin eTSSOP, with exposed
pad for enhanced thermal dissipation. It is lead (Pb) free, with
100% matte tin leadframe plating.
