Description
The STw4141 is a single coil dual output synchronous step down DC/DC converter that requires only four standard external components. It operates at a fixed 900 kHz switching frequency in PWM mode. The device can operate in PFM mode to maintain high efficiency over the full range of output currents.
The STw4141 application requires a very small PCB area and offers a very efficient, accurate, space and cost saving solution to fulfill the requirements of digital baseband or multimedia processor supply (CORE & I/O).
