Use cases and application examples

car-parking

Maximize light-load efficiency for car body applications with the A6983

The Low Consumption Mode (LCM) is designed for applications active during car parking.

car-radio

Minimize output voltage ripple and overload current for car audio and low-noise applications with the A6983

The Low Noise Mode (LNM) maintains a constant switching frequency, meeting the specifications for low-noise applications such as car audio.

electric-car-charger

Make your solution more robust for iso-buck topology with the A6983I

The isolated buck topology requires a regulated, non-isolated primary voltage and one or more isolated secondary voltages, with no optocoupler.

onboard-charger

Decrease power consumption and board size for EV/HEV with the A6983I

The typical shutdown current at 2 µA and the compact QFN6 package enhance low power consumption for On Board Chargers (OBC).
