L3751: 6 to 75 V input voltage synchronous buck controller

L3751

Wide input voltage range synchronous DC-DC step-down controller features extreme voltage conversion ratio over switching frequency range for improved efficiency, thermals, and ripple performance

This feature-rich buck converter includes a Power Good output useful for monitoring and output voltage sequencing for digital ICs during the power-up phase. Embedded protections ensure controlled and safe operation for critical environments in telecom, networking and industrial applications.

Available in a 20-lead QFN mm package with wettable flanks, its embedded gate driver minimizes the number of external components, lowering BOM costs.
