Description
The A8447 is a 3 A, high efficiency general-purpose buck
regulator designed for a wide variety of applications. The output
voltage is adjustable from 0.8 to 24 V, based on a resistor divider
and the 0.8 V ± 3 % reference. External components include an
external clamping diode, inductor, and filter capacitor. The off-
time is determined by an external resistor to ground. It operates
in both continuous and discontinuous modes to maintain light
load regulation. An internal blanking circuit is used to filter
out transients due to the reverse recovery of the external clamp
diode. Typical blanking time is 200 ns.
This new device is ideal for various end products including
applications with 8 to 50 V input voltage range and require up
to 3 A output current, such as uninterruptible power supplies,
point of sale (POS) applications, and industrial applications
with 24 or 36 V bus.
Applications include:
▪
Printer power supplies
▪
Office automation equipment
▪
POS thermal, laser, photo, and inkjet printers
▪
Tape drives
