General Description
The AME5253A is a high efficiency monolithic syn-
chronous buck regulator using a constant frequency, cur-
rent mode architecture. Capable of delivering 1A output
current over a wide input voltage range from 2.5V to 5.5V.
Supply current with no load is 400µA and drops to<1µA
in shutdown. The 2.5V to 5.5V input Voltage range makes
the AME5253A ideally suited for single Li-Ion battery-
powered applications. 100% duty cycle provides low drop-
out operation, extending battery life in portable systems.
PWM pulse skipping mode operation provides very low
output ripple voltage for noise sensitive applications. At
very light load, the AME5253A will automatically skip
pulses in pulse skip mode operation to maintain output
regulation.
The internal synchronous switch increases efficiency
and eliminates the need for an external Schottky diode.
Low output voltages are easily supported with the 0.6V
feedback reference voltage. The AME5253A is available
in SOT-25 packages.
Other features include soft start, lower internal refer-
ence voltage with 2% accuracy, over temperature protec-
tion, and over current protection.
