ZSPM4012 Feature Sheet Rev. 1.03

ZSPM4012
High Efficiency 2A Synchronous Buck Converter
Brief Description
Benefits
The ZSPM4012 is a DC/DC synchronous switching
regulator with fully integrated power switches,
internal compensation, and full fault protection.
The 1MHz switching frequency enables using
small filter components, resulting in reduced board
space and reduced bill-of-materials costs.

The ZSPM4012 utilizes current mode feedback in
normal regulation pulse-width modulation (PWM)
mode. When the regulator is disabled (EN pin is
low), the ZSPM4012 draws less than 10µA quiescent current.
