• NOPB - Not Plated with Banned Substances

Additional Details:

The LM3482MM/NOPB utilizes adaptive constant on-time control, which provides a fast transient response and good stability without external compensation components. Synchronous rectification significantly improves efficiency, particularly at heavy loads. The wide input voltage range makes it suitable for a variety of applications. Internal soft-start limits inrush current during startup. Over-voltage and short-circuit protection features protect the regulator and the load. The device typically requires external MOSFETs for synchronous rectification. The LM3482MM/NOPB comes in an 8-pin VSSOP package. It is a versatile and efficient solution for DC-DC conversion needs, offering high performance and ease of use. The NOPB designation indicates that the device is compliant with environmental regulations, making it suitable for environmentally conscious designs.
