The AOZ1280CI, from WIN SOURCE, stands out as a versatile and highly efficient buck regulator tailored to meet the demands of a wide range of power management applications. This component is a notable offering from Alpha and Omega Semiconductor, developed to provide developers and designers unparalleled performance and flexibility.
The device's high-efficiency operation is at the core of its functionality, ensuring optimal performance across multiple power environments. This regulator operates from a 3V to 26V input voltage range and supplies up to 1.2A of continuous output current, making it an excellent choice for applications needing reliable power conversion.
The architecture of the device is finely tuned for minimal power consumption while supporting a fixed 1.5MHz PWM switching frequency. This high switching frequency decreases the size of external components, such as inductors, thereby simplifying the design and lowering overall system costs. The regulator's ability to adjust the output voltage to 0.8V further improves its adaptability, catering to specific application needs.
When it comes to protection features, the device excels with its comprehensive suite of safety mechanisms, including cycle-by-cycle current limit, short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown. These features provide robust and reliable operation even under challenging conditions, safeguarding the device and the application it powers.
The device's compact SOT23-6L package and operational temperature range of -40C to +85C make it ideal for various environments, from consumer electronics to industrial applications. Its internal compensation and soft start capabilities further streamline the integration process, delivering a smooth and stable power-up sequence.
The regulator's diverse applications span point-of-load DC-DC conversion, set-top boxes, DVD drives and HDDs, LCD monitors and TVs, cable modems, and telecom/networking/datacom equipment. Its high efficiency, reaching 95%, ensures minimal energy loss, making it an outstanding choice for energy-conscious designs. Developers and designers can rely on it to deliver the essential tools required to innovate and extend their applications in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
