PMIC - Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators

The MPQ4431GL-AEC1-Z voltage regulators are generally referred to as DC/DC switching regulators. These regulators are known for their ability to convert an input DC voltage to a higher or lower output DC voltage. They can also be used to provide a constant voltage even with changing input voltages. They have a wide variety of applications in the electronics industry.

Working Principle

The working principle of the MPQ4431GL-AEC1-Z switching regulators is quite simple. The input DC voltage is connected to an oscillator. The oscillator then creates pulses that are sent to a switch. The switch then directs the output voltage to the load. This type of regulator is known as a buck converter. The output voltage is theoretically equal to the input voltage divided by the duty cycle.
