Space Saving SOT-23 Package
PWM step-down DC/DC converter in a 5 pin SOT-23
Input Voltage Range of 3.0V to 5.5V
and a 6 Pin WSON package. It provides all the active
Output Voltage Range of 0.6V to 4.5V
functions to provide local DC/DC conversion with fast
transient response and accurate regulation in the
