Wide Input Voltage Automotive Buck Regulators

The new Allegro Microsystems adjustable high-frecuency DC-DC step-down sitching regulators with an integrated high-side power MOSFET are ideal for power supply requirements of the lastest systems, The Allegro series A8568   provides up to 3.5 A output current while the A8587 has output current up to 2.0 A, both devices are automotive,  AEC Q100 qualified and incorporated with current-mode control for fast transient response.

The devices counts with a  wide input rage of 3.8 to 36V which makes both of them suitable for a  wide range of step-down applications including those in an automotive input environment. Battery-driven “keep-alive” applications benefits from the lowest to the highest range and operational current, both devices are incorporated with current mode control for fas transient control, are easy to manage and robustly handle.

These new regulators maintain high-efficiency across a wide range of loads in the PWM mode and incorporate pulse frequency modulation (PFM) as the load reduces. This in turn reduces switching and gate driver losses at light loads. Both the A8586 and A8587 incorporate frequency foldback to help prevent inductor current runaway during startup and provide enhanced dropout performance.

These new generation of regulators maintain high-efficency across a  wide range of loads in the pwm and incorporate pulse frecuency modulation (PFM) as the load reduces., this reduces the switching and gate driver losses at light loads.

Robust protection features makes them extensively safety for their uses, the current limit at the pulse by pulse and the hiccup mode-short-circuit protection makes them a great choice.
