SC1401 Datasheet PDF - Semtech Corporation

DESCRIPTION
The SC1401 is a synchronous buck regulator designed to power the latest generation microprocessors in battery operated systems. The SC1401 may be used to provide both the I/O and core voltages utilizing synchronous rectification for the core supply voltage and an LDO N-Channel MOSFET controller for the I/O supply voltage. A 1.25 volt reference allows lower output voltages required by today’s portable microprocessors.
