AOZ3018PI
EZBuck™ 5 A Synchronous Buck Regulator
General Description
The AOZ3018 is a high efficiency, simple to use, 5 A
synchronous buck regulator. The AOZ3018 operates
from a 4.5 V to 18 V input voltage range, and provides up
to 4 A of continuous output current with an output voltage
adjustable down to 0.8 V.
The AOZ3018 comes in an exposed pad SO-8 package
and is rated over a -40 °C to +85 °C operating ambient
temperature range.
