Design a Custom BoardAbout This Component
Synchronous buck converter IC delivering up to 1A output current with adjustable output voltage. Features integrated high-side and low-side MOSFETs for efficient step-down regulation from 2.5V to 6V input. Ideal for portable devices, battery-powered applications, and IoT systems requiring compact power solutions in space-constrained designs.
Package: MSOP-8 · 8 pins
Why does this need a breakout?
The 0.65mm pitch and tiny 3×3mm form factor make hand soldering challenging and impractical for breadboard prototyping. A breakout board converts this compact SMD package into a standard header layout, enabling reliable connections and rapid iteration without specialized soldering equipment or rework risk.
