Additional Details:

The AOZ1320DI uses a constant on-time (COT) control architecture to achieve fast transient response and high efficiency. It integrates both high-side and low-side MOSFETs, minimizing external component count and reducing parasitic inductance. The device also features internal soft-start circuitry to limit inrush current during startup. The over-temperature protection (OTP) disables the device when the junction temperature exceeds a safe limit. The under-voltage lockout (UVLO) prevents the device from operating at low input voltages, ensuring proper operation.
