Description
The A4402 is a dual-output regulator, combining in a single package a constant on-time buck regulator and a linear regulator (LDO)—each with adjustable output voltages. It is ideal for applications that require two regulated voltages, such as in microcontroller- or DSP-based applications requiring core and I/O voltage rails.
The buck regulator output supplies the adjustable linear regulator to reduce power dissipation and increase overall efficiency. The switching regulator is capable of operating above 2 MHz, allowing the use of small low value inductors and capacitors while avoiding sensitive EMI frequency bands such as AM radio in automotive applications.
