Original Press Release:
Seiko Instruments Announces S-8550/8551 Series
STEP-DOWN, BUILT-IN FET, SYNCHRONOUS RECTIFICATION, PWM CONTROL SWITCHING REGULATORS (DC/DC Converter ICs)
The S-8550/8551 Series is a CMOS synchronous rectification step-down switching regulator which mainly consists of a reference voltage circuit, an oscillator, an error amplifier, a phase compensation circuit, a PWM controller, an under voltage lockout circuit (UVLO), a current limit circuit, and a power MOS FET.
The oscillation frequency is high at 1.2 MHz, so a high efficiency, large output current, step-down switching regulator can be achieved by using small external parts.
The built-in synchronous rectification circuit makes achieving high efficiency easier compared with conventional step-down switching regulators. A ceramic capacitor can be used as an output capacitor. High-density mounting is supported by adopting a small SOT-23-5 package.
The S-8550 and S-8551 Series are offered according to different pin configuration.
Applications include:
Mobile devices, such as mobile phones, Bluetooth devices, wireless devices, digital audio players, digital still cameras, portable DVD players, and portable CD players
Pricing at $.52 each at 10,000 pieces
