This document introduces the MC3471x series of switch mode power regulators from Freescale. It provides an overview of their key features, such as programmable switching frequencies from 200kHz to 1MHz, integrated MOSFETs capable of sourcing 5A, and extensive protection functions including overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, and thermal shutdown. Typical applications include portable electronics, servers, graphics cards, and networking equipment. Block diagrams are included to illustrate the basic buck converter design and internal functionality of the MC3471x regulators.
