DESCRIPTION
KEY FEATURES
LX7169 is a step-down PWM Switching Other features of the part are:
regulator IC with integrated high side P-

pin is tied low when not in use. A clock
signal to this pin will synchronize the
converter to an external source.
In the shutdown mode, the IC’s current
consumption is reduced to less than 1mA
and the output capacitor is discharged.
