ZSPM4012B
High Efficiency 2A Synchronous Buck Converter
Brief Description
Benefits
The ZSPM4012B 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 ZSPM4012B utilizes current mode feedback in
normal regulation pulse-width modulation (PWM)
mode. When the regulator is disabled (EN pin is
low), the ZSPM4012B draws less than 10µA quiescent current.
