AST1S31 Up to 4 V, 3 A step-down 1.5 MHz switching regulator for automotive applications Datasheet - production data Applications Designed for automotive systems Battery powered applications Car body applications Description The AST1S31 device is an internally Features compensated 1.5 MHz fixed-frequency PWM synchronous step-down regulator. The AST1S31 AECQ100 qualification device operates from 2.8 V to 4 V input, while it 3 A DC output current regulates an output voltage as low as 0.8 V and up to V . IN 2.8 V to 4 V input voltage The AST1S31 integrates a 70 m high-side Output voltage adjustable from 0.8 V switch and a 55 m synchronous rectifier 1.5 MHz switching frequency allowing very high efficiency with very low output Internal soft-start and enable voltages. Integrated 70 m and 55 m power MOSFETs The peak current mode control with an internal All ceramic capacitor compensation deliver a very compact solution with a minimum component count. Power Good (POR) The AST1S31 device is available in a 3 x 3 mm, 8 Cycle-by-cycle current limiting leads VFDFPN package. Current foldback short-circuit protection VFDFPN 3 x 3 - 8L package Figure 1.
