Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix DER-G against official Torex documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics. Ensure that the required output voltage matches the fixed 3.6 V specification, as this variant does not offer adjustable output options. Cross-reference the package dimensions with PCB footprint requirements prior to procurement to ensure mechanical fit.

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 3.6 V output is required from inputs ranging between 0.65 V and 6 V. It is suitable for applications demanding high efficiency under varying load conditions due to its synchronous design. Consider the 3 MHz switching frequency if minimizing external inductor and capacitor size is a priority. Verify that the 800 mA current limit meets the peak load requirements of the target circuit.
