AOZ3015AI
EZBuck™ 3 A Synchronous Buck Regulator
General Description
The AOZ3015AI is a high efficiency, easy to use, 3 A
synchronous buck regulator. The AOZ3015AI works from
4.5 V to 18 V input voltage range, and provides up to 3 A
of continuous output current with an output voltage
adjustable down to 0.8 V.
The AOZ3015AI comes in a SO-8 package and is rated
over a -40 °C to +85 °C operating ambient temperature
range.
Features
 4.5 V to 18 V operating input voltage range
 Synchronous Buck: 65 mΩ internal high-side switch
and 30 mΩ internal low-side switch (at 12 V)
 PEM (pulse energy mode) enables >80% efficiency
with I_OUT = 10 mA (V_IN = 12 V, V_OUT = 5 V)
 Up to 95 % efficiency
 Internal soft start
 Output voltage adjustable to 0.8 V
 3 A continuous output current
 500 kHz PWM operation
 Cycle-by-cycle current limit
 Pre-bias start-up
 Short-circuit protection
 Thermal shutdown
 SO-8 package
Applications
