Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix DER-G against official Torex documentation to confirm package type and tape/reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with standard surface-mount assembly processes for the USP-C-EP-6 footprint. Cross-reference the fixed output voltage of 3.95 V with circuit requirements to prevent overvoltage issues on downstream components.

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 3.95 V output is required without external resistor programming. The 600 mA current rating suits moderate load applications. Consider the 3 MHz switching frequency for designs prioritizing small passive component footprints. Verify that the input voltage source remains within the 1.8 V to 6 V operational window for reliable regulation.

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Part Context

This component belongs to the XC9236 series of synchronous step-down converters. The series is characterized by built-in driver transistors and compact packaging options. It serves as a power management solution for portable electronics, offering higher efficiency compared to non-synchronous alternatives while maintaining a small physical profile suitable for space-constrained designs.

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Replacement Considerations

XC9236A33DER-G offers a similar form factor but provides a fixed 3.3 V output instead of 3.95 V. XC9236A34DER-G is another variant within the same series providing a fixed 3.4 V output. These parts share identical pinouts and electrical characteristics except for the regulated output voltage level.
