EL7551
Monolithic 1Amp DC:DC Step-down Regulator
DATASHEET
FN7291 Rev 1.00 March 21, 2006
The EL7551 is an integrated, synchronous step-down regulator with output voltage adjustable from 1.0V to 3.8V. It is capable of delivering 1A continuous current at up to 95% efficiency. The EL7551 operates at a constant frequency pulse width modulation (PWM) mode, making external synchronization possible. Patented on-chip resistorless current sensing enables current mode control, which provides cycle-by-cycle current limiting, over-current protection, and excellent step load response. The EL7551 is available in a fused-lead 16-pin QSOP package. With proper external components, the whole converter fits into a less than 0.4 in2 area.
