Description
The A4407 is an automotive power management IC that uses a 2.2 MHz constant on-time (COT) buck pre-regulator to supply a 5 V linear regulator, a 5 V tracking/protected linear regulator, a 3.3 V linear FET controller/driver, and a 1.2 V/1.5 V/1.8 V linear FET controller/driver. The A4407 provides a pin to set the master reference for the 5 V tracking regulator to either the 3.3 V or the 5 V output. The on-time of the buck is internally adjusted as a function of VINto maintain the 2.2 MHz switching frequency. Efficient operation is achieved by using the buck pre-regulator to drop the input voltage before supplying the linear regulators. Designed to supply CAN and microprocessor power supplies in high temperature environments, the A4407 is ideal for under hood applications.
