### 2. Core Functional Features
* **Internal Synchronous Rectifier:** It integrates both the high-side and low-side power switches, eliminating the need for an external Schottky diode and improving efficiency.
* **High Switching Frequency:** Operating at 3 MHz allows the use of tiny, low-profile inductors and ceramic capacitors, reducing the overall PCB footprint.
* **Power Saving Modes:**
* **PWM Mode:** Used for high-load efficiency and low noise.
* **PSM (Power Save Mode):** Automatically shifts to pulse-frequency modulation at light loads to conserve battery life.
* **Internal Protection:** Includes features such as undervoltage lockout (UVLO), soft start to prevent inrush current, and thermal shutdown.
