STEP-DOWN, 600 kHz PWM CONTROL or PWM/PFM SWITCHABLE
SWITCHING REGULATOR CONTROLLER
S-8540/8541 Series
The S-8540/8541 Series is a family of CMOS step-
down switching regulator controllers with PWM control
(S-8540 Series) and PWM/PFM switchover control (S-
8541 Series). These devices consist of a reference
voltage source, oscillation circuit, an error amplifier,
phase compensation circuit, PWM control circuit,
current limit circuit. A high efficiency and large current
switching regulator is realized with the help of small
external components due to the high oscillation
frequency, 300 kHz and 600 kHz.
The S-8540 Series provides low-ripple voltage, high
efficiency, and excellent transient characteristics which
come from the PMW control circuit capable of varying
the duty ratio linearly from 0 to 100%, the optimized
error amplifier, and the phase compensation circuit.
The S-8541 Series operates under PWM control when
the duty ratio is 29% or higher and operates under
PFM control when the duty ratio is less than 29% to
ensure high efficiency over all load range.
These controllers serve as ideal main power supply
units for portable devices due to the high oscillation
frequencies together with the small 8-Pin MSOP
package.
