XRP6142EL0-5-F

The XRP6142EL0-5-F (hereafter referred as XRP) is a high performance, highly integrated, special purpose, high-side switch and general-purpose voltage regulator. It is designed for use in applications where a fast response, wide input voltage range, small size and low price point are important requirements. XRP is a package with both the power supply and the power switch integrated. This makes it a great solution for applications where space is limited or cost is a major factor.

Application Fields

Because XRP is an integrated package, it finds use in a wide range of applications. As an example, XRP is an excellent candidate for use in smart home applications where multiple sensors, displays and control points need to be controlled and switched using a small controller. XRP is also used in low power embedded systems where a fast response, small size and low cost are important. In automotive applications XRP can be used to provide power to auxiliary devices and communication systems.

Working Principle

At its core, the XRP is a closed-loop, buck converter. This means that it uses an electrical circuit to convert a DC input voltage to a DC output voltage, usually lower than the input voltage, based on the control loop. The control loop is made up of a pulse width modulation (PWM) controller and power MOSFETs. The PWM controller takes a reference voltage and a feedback voltage and produces a PWM signal that switches the MOSFETs. As the load current changes, this PWM is continually adjusted to maintain the output voltage at a set level.

The XRP also has a number of protection circuits designed to ensure that it remains safe and reliable in different operating conditions. This includes thermal protection, over voltage protection, under voltage protection and short circuit protection. It also has numerous other features including soft start, over current protection and current limit.

Conclusion

The XRP is a highly integrated, special purpose, high-side switch and general-purpose voltage regulator designed for applications where a fast response, wide input voltage range, small size and low price point are important. It is an excellent choice for use in a range of applications, including smart home applications and low power embedded systems, as well as automotive applications. It is a buck converter with a control loop that is continually adjusted to maintain the output voltage at a set level, with additional protection circuits to ensure safe and reliable operation.
