APPLICATION NOTE AN42 The RC5040 and RC5042 Controllers RC5040 and RC5042 Description The RC5040 is a programmable synchronous-mode DC-DC Simple Step-Down Converter converter controller. The RC5042 is a non-synchronous ver- sion of the RC5040. When designed with the appropriate S1 external components, either device can be configured to L1 + deliver more than 14.5A of output current. During heavy loading conditions, these controllers function as current- V mode PWM step-down regulators. Unde
