At the Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC) next week, TI will demonstrate a 6-100V buck converter capable of delivering 1A, with low waste – 10.5µA no-load input quiescent current (25 to 12V at 1mA) and 3µA shut-down quiescent current. Called LM5164, the constant-on-time synchronous step-down regulator has integrated high and low-side n-channel power mosfets (725mΩ buck switch, 340mΩ synchronous rectifier ...
