LM21215A-1 15A High Efficiency Synchronous Buck Regulator LM21215A-1 March 27, 2011 15A High Efficiency Synchronous Buck Regulator with Frequency Synchronization General Description The LM21215A-1 is a monolithic synchronous buck regulator that is capable of delivering up to 15A of continuous output current while producing an output voltage down to 0.6V with outstanding efficiency. The device is optimized to work over an input voltage range of 2.95V to 5.5V, making it suited for a wide variety of low voltage systems. The voltage mode control loop provides high noise immunity, narrow duty cycle capability and can be compensated to be stable with any type of output capacitance, providing maximum flexibility and ease of use. The LM21215A-1 features internal over voltage protection (OVP) and over-current protection (OCP) for increased system reliability. A precision enable pin and integrated UVLO allow turn-on of the device to be tightly controlled and sequenced. Startup inrush currents are limited by both an internally fixed and externally adjustable soft-start circuit. Fault detection and supply sequencing are possible with the integrated power good circuit. The LM21215A-1 is designed to work well in multi-rail power supply architectures. The output voltage of the device can be configured to track an external voltage rail using the SS/TRK pin. The switching frequency can be synchronized to the falling edge of a clock between frequencies of 300kHz to 1.5MHz. If the output i...
