There are many 12V rails in industrial applications today that need a buck regulator to step the voltage down to a lower voltage, delivering up to 14A. These applications often require a highly efficient, reliable, and compact solution. The Renesas 18V family is highly reliable and efficient. It also provides a rich feature set plus a high level of integration. The high-side and low-side FETs, boot-strap diode, and compensation circuits are all integrated which helps customers save board space as well as reduce the design complexity.
