Alpha & Omega Semiconductor, Ltd. Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators AOZ1038PI

The AOZ1038PI is a synchronous buck regulator designed for high efficiency and ease of use, capable of delivering up to 6 A of continuous output current. It operates within an input voltage range of 4.5 V to 18 V and features an adjustable output voltage down to 0.8 V. The device achieves high efficiency levels of up to 95% and includes an internal soft start mechanism, cycle-by-cycle current limit, and short-circuit protection. This regulator is housed in an exposed pad SO-8 package, which enhances thermal performance, and is rated for operation in ambient temperatures from -40 ¬8C to +85 ¬8C. Typical applications include point-of-load DC/DC converters, LCD TVs, set-top boxes, and PCIe graphics cards. The AOZ1038PI is also compliant with RoHS standards, making it suitable for environmentally conscious designs.
