Great review.

It's certainly packing some serious hardware into a black blob, and making things very easy.

I'm curious what the intention is for this chip.

The input voltage range is not within automotive (14v is a bit low), and the Vout upper limit of 3v, makes it a strange supply for processors.

While I can understand the use for some of the newer 1.5v I/O, the input voltage means some other converter is also required unless you use 3 cells in series (10.8v)

Nice road test report. I look forward to seeing more of your data as you move forward. Have you characterized the noise levels on the output? It would be interesting to see what the output looks like. Nice to see your load in action.

Hi Jan,

It is nice to see your electronic load in action. I will be interested to see how well my efficiency measurements match yours. I am also interested in seeing how the TI transient response curves for load match your measurements as I did not have an electronic load suited to that measurement.
