2 Product Description
The LX7175 is a step-down pulse-width modulation (PWM) switching regulator IC with integrated high
side P-CH and low side N-CH MOSFETs. The IC operates using a hysteretic control topology with a full
load switching frequency of 1.4 MHz, allowing small output filter components while maintaining
excellent dynamic load response.
The operational input voltage range of the LX7175 is from 3 V to 5.5 V and it has two modes of
operation selected externally by the MODE pin. When the MODE pin is high, the device operates in
continuous PWM operation, and when it is tied low, it operates in power wave mode (PSM) with
automatic transition between PWM and PSM mode depending on the load current. This allows the
converter’s efficiency to remain high when load current drops.
Other features include cycle-by-cycle current limit followed by latch off, thermal protection with
hysteresis, internal digital soft start, and Power Good function.

5 Recommended Operating Conditions
The following table lists the operating conditions for the LX7175 Evaluation Board.
Table 1 • Operating Conditions
Description Symbol Minimum Maximum Unit
Input voltage VIN 3 5.5 V
Output current IOUT 0 3 A
Operating ambient temperature TA–10 85 °C
Enable chip EN VIN
Shut down chip EN Pull to GND
5.1 Mode Selection
Mode Jumper set to HI means PWN or mode = 1. Mode jumper set to LOW means power save mode
(PSM), or
mode = 0.
5.2 Setting the Output Voltage
In case a different output voltage is needed, it must be programmed through an external resistor divider
connected from SW to V and then to GND. For noise immunity, the lower resistor R2 from V to OUT OUT
GND should be greater than 100 kΩ. A feed-forward capacitor C9 in parallel with the upper resistor is
needed to ensure loop stability. It is recommended that C9 = 120 pF. The following formula gives the
value of V .OUT
Where V = 0.8 V.REF
