General Description
The AME5258 is a high efficiency monolithic synchro-
nous buck regulator using a constant frequency, current
mode architecture. The device is available in an adjustable
version and fixed output voltages of 1.2V, 1.8V, 2.5V and
3.3V. Supply current with no load is 300µA and drops to
<1µA in shutdown. The 2.5V to 5.5V input voltage range
makes the AME5258 ideally suited for single Li-Ion bat-
tery-powered applications. 100% duty cycle provides low
dropout operation, extending battery life in portable sys-
tems. PWM pulse skipping mode operation provides very
low output ripple voltage for noise sensitive applications.
At very light load, the AME5258 will automatically skip
pulses in pulse skip mode operation to maintain output
regulation.
The AME5258 is simple to use. As with standard
LDO's,Input and output capacitor are required. The only
other element is a small, low cost, 2.2µH inductor.Low
output voltages are easily supported with the 0.6V feed-
back reference voltage. And 100% duty cycle when Vin
approaches Vout.

AME5258-BEVADJ
Enable Control Input.
Forcing this pin above 1.5V enables the part. Forcing
this pin below 0.3V shuts down the device. In shutdown,
all functions are disabled drawing <1µA supply current.
Do not leave EN floating.
Ground Pin
Switch Node Connection to Inductor.
This pin connects to the drains of the internal main and
synchronous power MOSFET switches.
Main Supply Pin.
Must be closely decoupled to GND, Pin2, with a 4.7µF
or greater ceramic capactior.
Feedback Pin.
Receives the feedback voltage from an external resistive
divider across the output.
