AOZ6763DI Detailed Description
switch to output. The internal adaptive FET driver guarantees no turn on overlap of both high-side and low- The AOZ6763DI is a current-mode step down regulator side switch. with integrated high-side NMOS switch and low-side NMOS switch. It operates from a 4.5V to 18V input Comparing with regulators using freewheeling Schottky voltage range and supplies up to 3A of load current. diodes, the AOZ6763DI uses freewheeling NMOSFET to Features include, enable control, Power-On Reset, input realize synchronous rectification. It greatly improves the under voltage lockout, output over voltage protection, converter efficiency and reduces power loss in the low- internal soft-start and thermal shut down. side switch. The AOZ6763DI is available in DFN3x3 package. The AOZ6763DI uses a N-Channel MOSFET as the high-side switch. Since the NMOSFET requires a gate

Light Load and PWM Operation
Combination of R1 and R2 should be large enough to Under low output current settings, the AOZ6763DI will avoid drawing excessive current from the output, which operate with pulse energy mode to obtain high efficiency. will cause power loss. In pulse energy mode, the PWM will not turn off until the on time get a fixed time which is defined by Vin, Vo and Some standard value of R1, R2 and most used output switching frequency. voltage values are listed in Table 1.

voltage is compared against the current signal, which is sum of inductor current signal and input and output modulated voltage ramp compensation signal, at PWM comparator input. If the current signal is less than the error voltage, the internal high-side switch is on. The inductor current flows from the input through the inductor to the output. When the current signal exceeds the error voltage, the high-side switch is off. The inductor current is freewheeling through the internal low-side N-MOSFET Rev. 1.0 October 2019
