The SP6120 is a fixed frequency, voltage mode, synchronous PWM controller designed to work from a single 5V or 3.3V input supply. Sipex's unique "AnyFET™" Technology allows the SP6120 to be used for resolving a multitude of price/performance trade-offs. It is separated from the PWM controller market by being the first controller to offer precision, speed, flexibility, protection and efficiency over a wide range of operating conditions.
- Optimized for single supply, 3V - 5.5V applications
- High efficiency: greater than 95% possible
- "AnyFET TM" technology: capable of switching either PFET or NFET high side switch
- Selectable Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM) or Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) for use in battery or bus applications
- Fast transient response
- 16-pin TSSOP, small size
- Accurate 1% reference over line, load and temperature
- Accurate 10% frequency
- Accurate, rail to rail, 43mV, overcurrent sensing
- Resistor programmable frequency
- Resistor programmable output voltage
- Capacitor programmable soft-start
- Low quiescent current: 950μA, 10μA in shutdown
- Hiccup overcurrent protection
