EML3172-3A,Synchronous Step-Down DC-DC Converter DataSheet

General Description
     EML3172 is a high efficiency, DC-DC synchronous buck converter which provides 3A output loading after output voltage reach preset voltage. EML3172 uses different modulation algorithms for various loading conditions. Under heavy load, EML3172 regulates the output voltage using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). The PWM mode provides low output voltage ripple and fixed frequency noise. While in light load, it enters Power Save Modulation (PSM) automatically to ensure a highly efficient operation at light load condition. Under very heavy load condition or when  the input voltage approaches the output voltage, EML3172 enters low dropout voltage operation under 100% duty cycle. The internal generated 0.8V precision feedback reference voltage is designed for low output voltage request. Low Power-FET Ron synchronous switch dramatically reduces conduction loss.
     The EML3172 is available in the tiny package of TSOT-23-6.
