A8590 Datasheet 3.0A Asynchronous Buck Regulator

Manufacturer: Allegro MicroSystems

General Description

Designed to provide the power supply requirements of nextgeneration car audio and infotainment systems, the A8590 provides all the control and protection circuitry to produce a high-current regulator with ±1.0% output voltage accuracy.

The A8590 employs pulse frequency modulation (PFM) to draw less than 50 μA from 12 VIN while supplying 3.3 V / 40 μA.

After startup, the A8590 operates down to at least 3.6 VIN (VIN falling).

Overview

A8590 Wide Input Voltage, 2.4 MHz, 3.0 Amp Asynchronous Buck Regulator With Low-IQ Standby, Sleep Mode, External Synchronization, and NPOR.
