The UCC3588 synchronous step-down (Buck) regulator provides accurate high efficiency power conversion. Using few external components, the UCC1588 converts 5V to an adjustable output ranging from 3.5VDC to 2.1VDC in 100mV steps and 2.05VDC to 1.3VDC in 50mV steps with 1% DC system accuracy. A high level of integration and novel design allow this 16-pin controller to provide a complete control solution for today's demanding microcontroller power requirements. Typical applications include on board or VRM based power conversion for Intel Pentium II microprocessors, as well as other processors from a variety of manufacturers. High efficiency is obtained through the use of synchronous rectification.
