General Description 
The AT5503 is a 500kHz fixed frequency, current 
mode, PWM synchronous buck (step-down) DC-DC 
converter, capable of driving a 3A load with high 
efficiency, excellent line and load regulation. The 
AT5503 exhibits high efficiency at light load. The 
device integrates N-channel power MOSFET switch 
with low on-resistance. Current mode control 
provides fast transient response and cycle-by-cycle 
current limit. 
 
The AT5503 employs complete protection to ensure 
system security, including output Over Voltage 
Protection, input Under Voltage Lock Out, 
programmable soft-start, Over Temperature 
Protection and hiccup mode Short Circuit Protection. 
 
This IC is available in PSOP-8 package.
