ELM613xDC
4A 30V 500kHz synchronous step-down DC/DC converter

ELM613xDC is a fully integrated high efficiency synchronous step-down converter which requires minimum number of external components. It offers very compact solution with up to 4A continuous output current over a wide input range. ELM613xDC employs proprietary Constant On-Time (COT) control scheme providing superior transient response and maintaining constant switching frequency under the continuous conduction mode operation. The internal ramp compensation network allows stable operation with ultra-low equivalent series resistance (ESR) output ceramic capacitors without using external compensation network. An error amplifier in the control loop provides excellent line and load regulation. ELM613xDC integrates extensive protection functions include: UVLO, OCP and thermal shutdown. Input under- voltage lockout is internally set as 3.8V.
The unique ultrasonic pulse-skipping mode (ELM613UDC) maintains the switching frequency above 25kHz, which eliminates noise in audio applications. Other features include pulse skipping mode (ELM613NDC), which maximizes efficiency in light-load applications, and forced PWM mode(ELM613ADC) which operates in constant frequency PWM mode regardless of load current.
