Step-Down/Buck Converter for Portable Devices

Himalaya Step-Down Switching Regulators

Himalaya DC-DC step-down regulators make use of the latest advancements in switching regulator and process technology to minimize power dissipation, temperature rise, solution size, and total cost-of-ownership.

Himalaya buck converters enable synchronous rectification over a wide input range from 4.5V min to 36V, 42V, 60V or 76V max, supporting output currents from 25mA to 5A with internal MOSFETs.

Smart, wide-bandwidth internal compensation supports varying circuit conditions and retains an optimized loop bandwidth for a wide range of operating circuit parameters. A robust protection scheme provides high reliability over the -40°C to +125°C temperature range. Himalaya buck converters and optimized evaluation kits are compliant to the CISPR 22 electromagnetic interference (EMI) standard, to help increase the first-time success rate for EMI certification testing of your end products.

Learn more about modern switching regulator technology and find out why it's time to switch to a Himalaya switching regulator.
