Fairchild Semiconductor’s Buck Converter Efficiently Powers High Capacity SD Flash Memory Applications
As mobile handsets and other portable devices increase their demand for memory storage, there is an emerging need to power increasingly larger SD Flash Memory cards. To meet this requirement, Fairchild Semiconductor developed the FAN5362, a 3MHz 500mA synchronous Buck regulator, using a proprietary architecture with synchronous rectification. The device is ideal for cell phone designers who need to support high capacity (e.g. 8, 16, 32GB, etc.) SD Flash Memory cards.
