DLA6.8-N is a part of the Ferrocore series within the Exar DC-DC Converter family. It is a 6W, 8-pin, internal step-down DC-DC converter that operates over an input voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V and provides outputs up to 1A and start-up currents of 50mA with a max of 200mA. It features full output vacuum monitoring, automatic frequency/output voltage spread spectrum, and adjustable soft start. This part also offers protection features such as over-voltage, over-current, overtemperature, and under-voltage with auto-retry. Additionally, in comparison to other Ferrocore converter parts, it provides significantly lower quiescent current.
