AAT1121
1.5MHz, 250mA Step-Down Converter
General Description
The AAT1121 SwitchReg is a 1.5MHz step-down
converter with an input voltage range of 2.7V to
5.5V and output as low as 0.6V. Its low supply
current, small size, and high switching frequency
make the AAT1121 the ideal choice for portable
applications.
The AAT1121 delivers 250mA of load current, while
maintaining a low 30µA no load quiescent current.
The 1.5MHz switching frequency minimizes the size
of external components, while keeping switching
losses low. The AAT1121 feedback and control
delivers excellent load regulation and transient
response with a small output inductor and capacitor.
The AAT1121 is available in a Pb-free, 8-pin,
2x2mm TDFN or STDFN package and is rated
over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
