Enpirion Power Datasheet EP5348UI 400mA PowerSoC Synchronous Buck Regulator With Integrated Inductor Description Features The EP5348UI delivers the optimal trade-off Integrated Inductor Technology between footprint and efficiency. It is a perfect 400mA continuous output current alternative to replace less efficient LDOs in space 2.0mm x 1.75mm x 0.9mm uQFN package constrained applications that require improved efficiency. Small Solution Footprint The EP5348UI is a 400mA PowerSoC which Efficiency, up to 90% integrates MOSFET switches, control, V Range 0.6V to V V OUT IN DROP OUT compensation, and the magnetics in a micro- Short circuit and over current protection QFN Package. This highly integrated DCDC solution offers up to 46-points better efficiency UVLO and thermal protection than the comparable LDO. A significant IC level reliability in a PowerSoC solution reduction in power loss and improved thermals are achieved. It enables extended battery life and helps Meet Energy Star requirements. Applications 95 VIN = 5.0V EP5348UI Applications where poor LDO efficiency VOUT = 1.2V LDO 85 creates: 75 o Thermal challenges 65 o Battery Life challenges 55 o Failure to meet Energy Star = 46-points 45 requirements 35 Space-constrained applications 25 Portable media players and USB peripherals 15 0.0 0.1 0.2 0.3 Load Current (A) PVIN V OUT VOUT V IN AVIN C A R Integrated magnetics enables a tiny solution A EP5348 0.1F C IN C OUT 2.2F footprint, low output ripple, and high reliability, C AVIN 10F ENABLE 0603 VFB 0603 while maintaining high efficiency.

NC (SW) pins are not to be electrically connected to any external signal, NC(SW) 14 ground, or voltage. However, they must be soldered to the PCB. Failure to follow this guideline may result in part malfunction or damage to the device. Power ground. Connect this pin to the ground electrode of the Input and output filter 2 PGND capacitors. NO CONNECT: These pins may already be connected inside the device. Therefore, they cannot be electrically connected to each other or to any external signal, voltage, or ground. 3, 8, 9 NC They must however be soldered to the PCB. Failure to follow this guideline may result in device damage. 4 VFB Feedback pin for external voltage divider network. Analog ground. This is the quiet ground for the internal control circuitry, and the ground 5 AGND return for external feedback voltage divider 6, 7 VOUT Regulated Output Voltage.
