The LM5160ADNTR is an integrated circuit (IC) component, specifically a sychronous buck regulator from Texas Instruments. It is designed to efficiently step-down voltage from a higher input voltage to a lower output voltage.
One key feature of the LM5160ADNTR is its wide input voltage range, which spans from 3.5V to 65V. This makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, such as automotive, industrial, and communications equipment. The wide input voltage range allows the IC to handle varying input sources, providing flexibility to the designer.
Another important feature is its high-efficiency performance. The LM5160ADNTR utilizes synchronous rectification to minimize power losses and maximize conversion efficiency. It achieves this by employing internal high-side and low-side power MOSFETs, reducing the need for external components and simplifying the overall design.
The LM5160ADNTR also offers a programmable frequency (250 kHz to 2.2 MHz), which allows the user to optimize the performance based on their specific requirements. The adjustable switching frequency, combined with the IC's high light-load efficiency, makes it well-suited for power-sensitive applications that demand high efficiency across various load conditions.
Additionally, the LM5160ADNTR incorporates a comprehensive set of protection features, including thermal shutdown, input under-voltage lockout (UVLO), output over-voltage protection (OVP), and cycle-by-cycle current limit
