Functional Description
Buck Converter with Switching Regulator. A current-
mode, variable frequency buck DC-to-DC converter and switch-
ing regulator are integrated in the A8450, as shown in figure 2.
This feature allows the device to efficiently handle power over a
wide range of input supply levels. The DC-to-DC converter out-
puts 5.7 V typical, and has an overcurrent limit of 1.2 A typical.
The converter employs a soft-start feature. This ramps the con-
verter output voltage and limits the maximum demand on V
REG
 
by controlling the inrush current required at power-on to charge
the external capacitor, COUT, and any DC load.
An internal charge pump provides gate drive for the
N-channel MOSFET buck switch. A 100% duty cycle is imple-
mented when using low V
BB
 input voltages.
At V
BB
 lower than 12 V, off-time, t
OFF
, is reduced, as shown in
figure 3. This reduction keeps the switching frequency, f
PWM
,
within a reasonable range and lowers the ripple current. Lowering
the ripple current at low V
BB
 levels prevents degradation of linear
regulator headroom due to V
REG
 ripple voltage.
5 V Linear Regulators. Two 5 V medium-power linear regulators 
are provided. These low-dropout regulators feature foldback current
limiting for short-to-ground protection. When a direct short is applied
to the regulator output, either V5A or V5D, the current folds back
