Description
The STw4141 is a single coil dual output
synchronous step down DC/DC converter that
requires only four standard external components.
It operates at a fixed 900 kHz switching frequency
in PWM mode. The device can operate in PFM
mode to maintain high efficiency over the full
range of output currents.
The STw4141 application requires a very small
PCB area and offers a very efficient, accurate,
space and cost saving solution to fulfill the
requirements of digital baseband or multimedia
processor supply (CORE & I/O).
