The R1221N Series are PWM step-down DC/DC Converter controllers embedded with a voltage detector, with low supply current by CMOS process. Each step-down DC/DC converter in these ICs consists of an oscillator, a PWM control circuit, a reference voltage unit, an error amplifier, a soft-start circuit, a protection circuit, a PWM/VFM alternative circuit, a chip enable circuit, and resistors for voltage detection. A low ripple, high efficiency step-down DC/DC converter can be composed of this IC with only four external components, or a power-transistor, an inductor, a diode and a capacitor.
