DATA SHEET AAT2120 500mA Low-Noise, Step-Down Converter General Description Features The AAT2120 SwitchReg is a 1.8MHz step-down con- V Range: 2.7V to 5.5V IN verter with an input voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V and V Range: 0.6V to V OUT IN output as low as 0.6V. Its low supply current, small size, Up to 500mA Output Current and high switching frequency make the AAT2120 the Up to 96% Efficiency ideal choice for portable applications. Low Noise Light Load Mode 45A Typical Quiescent Current The AAT2120 delivers up to 500mA of load current, while 1.8MHz Switching Frequency maintaining a low 45A no load quiescent current. The Soft-Start Control 1.8MHz switching frequency minimizes the size of exter- Over-Temperature and Current Limit Protection nal components, while keeping switching losses low. The 100% Duty Cycle Low-Dropout Operation AAT2120 feedback and control delivers excellent load <1 A Shutdown Current regulation and transient response with a small output Small External Components inductor and capacitor. Ultra-Small STDFN22-8 Package The AAT2120 maintains high efficiency throughout the Temperature Range: -40C to +85C load range. The AAT2120s unique architecture produces reduced ripple and spectral noise. Over-temperature and Applications short-circuit protection safeguard the AAT2120 and sys- tem components from damage. Bluetooth Headsets Cellular Phones The AAT2120 is available in a Pb-free, 8-pin, 2x2mm Digital Cameras STDFN package and is rated over the -40C to +85C Handheld Instruments temperature range.
