Description
The SC401B is a stand-alone synchronous EcoSpeedTM buck power supply which incorporates Semtech’s advanced patented adaptive on-time control architecture. This provides excellent light-load efficiency and fast transient response. It features integrated power MOSFETs, a bootstrap switch, and a programmable LDO in a 5x5mm package. The device is highly efficient and uses minimal PCB area. The SC401B has the same package and pin configuration as the entire SC40xB series for compatibility.
