The AIC2350 is a low-noise, pulse-width-modulated (PWM), DC-DC step-down converter. The device is available in an adjustable version and fixed output voltages of 1.0V, 1.2V, 1.8V, and 3.3V.

The device features an internal synchronous rectifier for high efficiency; it requires no external Schottky diode. The AIC2350 is ideally suited for Li-Ion battery applications. PWM/PSM mode extends battery life by switching to a pulse-skipping-modulated mode during light loads. Shutdown mode places the device in standby, reducing supply current to under 1μA.

Other features of the AIC2350 include high efficiency, low dropout voltage, short circuit protection, over temperature protection, and over voltage protection. It is available in a small SOT23-5 package.
