The XC9509 series consists of a step-down DC/DC converter and a high-speed LDO regulator connected in parallel with the DC/DC converter's output. A voltage detector is also built-in. Since the input for the LDO voltage regulator block comes from the input power supply, it is suited for use with various applications. The DC/DC converter block incorporates a P-Channel driver transistor and a synchronous N-Channel switching transistor. With an external coil, diode and two capacitors, the XC9509 can deliver output currents up to 600mA at efficiencies over 90%. The XC9509 is designed for use with small ceramic capacitors. A choice of three switching frequencies are available, 300 kHz, 600 kHz, and 1.2 MHz. |
