  Design Description

The design provides 3.3V (U1) and 2.5V (U2) outputs using buck topology with LM3475 controller. The LM3475 is a hysteretic step-down controller operating around 450 KHz in steady state and steps down the input voltage to various output voltages as indicated above.

This design is know for its simplicity and fast transient response. Another benefit is high efficiency operation at light loads without an increase in output ripple.

Notes: Please note that M1, M2, M3, and M4 in the schematic are designated as Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 respectively in the layout.
