  • Operates down to 3.4 VIN (typ), 3.6 VIN (max) for idle stop
  • Utilizes pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) for low-IQ mode
  • 10 μA Sleep mode (automatic PWM / Low-IQ PFM mode selection)
  • Fixed output voltage options: 3.3 or 5 V with ±1% accuracy
  • Delivers up to 2 A of output current
  • Integrated 110 mΩ high-side MOSFET
  • Adjustable switching frequency from 300 kHz to 2.4 MHz
  • EMI reduction features:
    • Frequency dithering
    • Controlled switching node
  • External synchronization capability
  • Maximum duty cycle for low dropout
  • Active low NPOR output with 7.5 ms delay
