The SA23004 synchronous buck converter has integrated power MOSFETs, an input voltage range of 2.8V to 5.5V, a configurable output voltage from 0.6V to VIN, and a maximum load current capability of 4A. Under light load conditions, it can operate in either pulse width modulation (PWM) mode or pulse frequency modulation (PFM) mode. The soft-start time and 1.8MHz-3MHz switching frequency can be adjusted using external components. 

The SS/TR pin can be used to control the soft start time or as an input for tracking and sequencing, which allows the output voltage to follow the voltage applied at TR in both directions (up and down) in forced PWM mode.

When required by the application, if an external clock frequency is applied on the MODE_SYNC pin, the switching frequency will be synchronized to the external clock frequency and the device will operate in forced PWM mode.

The SA23004 also provides power good indication, undervoltage lockout (UVLO), short-circuit protection, cycle-by-cycle current limit protection, and thermal shutdown.

The SA23004 is available in a QFN 2mm×3mm-9 pin package.
