General Description
The G5172 device is a full featured 6.0V, 4A synchro-
nous step down current mode converter with two inte-
grated MOSFETs.
The G5172 enables small designs by integrating the
MOSFETs, implementing current mode control to re-
duce external component count, reducing inductor size
by enabling up to 2MHz switching frequency, and
minimizing the IC footprint with a small 3mm x 3mm
(4mm x 4mm) thermally enhanced QFN package.
The G5172 provides accurate regulation for a variety
of loads with an accurate ±1% Voltage Reference
(VREF) over temperature.
Efficiency is maximized through the integrated 30mΩ
MOSFETs and 350µA typical supply current. Using the
enable pin, shutdown supply current is reduced to 2µA
by entering a shutdown mode.
Under voltage lockout is internally set at 2.6V, but can
be increased by programming the threshold with a
resistor network on the enable pin. The output voltage
startup ramp is controlled by the soft start pin. An open
drain power good signal indicates the output is within
93% to 107% of its nominal voltage.
Frequency fold back and thermal shutdown protects
the device during an over-current condition.
