SNVA406C May 2010 – January 2022 LM27402
The LM27402 is a feature-rich, synchronous, single phase PWM DC/DC buck controller. A wide input voltage range of 3-V to 20-V, input voltage feedforward, and dual high current integrated N-channel MOSFET drivers make the LM27402 appropriate for high current intermediate bus system rails in point-of-load applications. A 0.6-V ±1% internal voltage reference enables high accuracy and low voltage capability at the output. Inductor DCR current sensing provides an accurate current limit detection method and promotes high output current and high system efficiency by eliminating resistive current sense elements.
