ET4040QI Integrated Circuits (ICs)

ET4040QI is a high-performance voltage regulator that is specifically designed for use in situations where limited space, power, or temperature range is a factor.

ET4040QI is a device that provides a precisely regulated output voltage and has an extremely wide input voltage range. It features a heavy-duty switching regulator output stage with an integrated power transistor, along with multiple optional features, and is capable of providing up to 1.2 A current without the need of external components.

The ET4040QI can be used in a variety of applications, such as television receivers, computer monitors and displays, battery chargers, and power amplifiers. Its high efficiency and low noise also make it suitable for automotive audio amplifiers and winches. Its wide input voltage range (12 V to 48 V) makes it suitable for off-grid solar energy systems.

The ET4040QI has an adjustable output voltage from 0.1 V to 48 V and an adjustable output current from 0.1 A to 1.2 A. Its switching frequency is adjustable from 100 kHz to 500 kHz, allowing the user to customize the regulator for their application.

The key to the high efficiency of the ET4040QI is its working principle. It uses a pulse width modulation (PWM) technique to control the output voltage and current. PWM is a technique where a square wave is used to control the output voltage and current. The period of the square wave can be adjusted using an internal clock, allowing the user to adjust the frequency of the PWM to match the switching frequency of the load, thus maximizing the efficiency of the regulator.

In addition to PWM control, the ET4040QI also features multiple protection features, such as over-temperature, over-current, and short-circuit protection. These features ensure that the regulator will perform safely and reliably under all conditions.

Thanks to its wide input voltage range, high efficiency, and adjustable output voltage, the ET4040QI is an ideal choice for a variety of applications. It is a reliable solution for scenarios where space is limited, such as solar energy systems and automotive audio amplifiers.
