XC9236G2DDER-G

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Overview

The XC9236G2DDER-G is a synchronous step-down DC/DC converter manufactured by Torex Semiconductor. It operates within an input voltage range of 1.8V to 6.0V and delivers a fixed output voltage of 2.5V at up to 600mA. The device utilizes a 3MHz switching frequency and incorporates automatic PWM/PFM control for optimized efficiency across varying load conditions. It is housed in a USP-C-EP-6 package and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Feature Summary

• Integrates built-in P-channel driver and N-channel switching transistors for high-efficiency synchronous rectification
• Features automatic switching between PWM and PFM modes to maintain high efficiency under light loads
• Designed for stable operation using only external ceramic capacitors without requiring bulk electrolytic types

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Applications

• Portable electronic devices powered by single-cell lithium-ion batteries
• Battery-operated consumer electronics requiring compact power solutions
• Embedded systems with strict space constraints and low quiescent current requirements

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix DER-G against official Torex documentation to confirm the USP-C-EP-6 packaging configuration. Ensure that the fixed 2.5V output specification aligns with the target circuit design, as this variant does not support external resistor adjustment. Cross-reference the G-type input range starting at 1.8V with the system's minimum supply voltage to guarantee proper regulation during discharge cycles.

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 2.5V rail is required from a 1.8V to 6.0V source. The 3MHz frequency allows for smaller passive components compared to lower-frequency alternatives. The automatic PWM/PFM mode is suitable for applications with variable duty cycles where battery life extension at light loads is critical. Confirm that the thermal performance of the USP-C-EP-6 package meets the ambient temperature expectations of the final enclosure.

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Part Context

This part belongs to the XC9236 series of 600mA synchronous step-down converters. Unlike the XC9235 (PWM only) or XC9237 (switchable mode), the XC9236 series specifically implements automatic PWM/PFM switching. The G-type designation indicates compatibility with a 1.8V minimum input voltage, distinguishing it from A/B/C types that require a 2.0V minimum input.
