Designed to support higher current applications, the LM315x Simple Switcher Controller Family is Texas Instruments' newest addition to its well-known Simple Switcher brand of switching solutions. The Simple Switcher Controller Family features a synchronous architecture and is capable of delivering up to 12A of output current, operating up to 1MHz switching frequency, and supporting a wide input voltage range from 6 to 42V. These controllers come with a complete package of design tools, feature a low external component count (11-15 components), and a constant-on-time architecture to simplify the design process. The constant-on-time architecture eliminates the need for external compensation circuitry while still providing a fixed output voltage and frequency.
