Seiko Introduces Single-Coil PWM Combination Buck And Boost Switching Regulator-Controller
Torrance, CA, December 3, 2001 . Seiko Instruments introduces a PWM buck and boost switching regulator-controller that is ideal for portable devices. The S-8460 is a high-efficiency switching regulator-controller that requires only one coil instead of two. This allows for a reduction in external components and board space while the high efficiency of the S-8460 will help prolong battery life. It also includes an automatic-selection control circuit, a reference voltage source, an oscillation circuit and an error amplifier. Applications for the S-8460 include single-cell Lithium-Ion devices such as PDAs, cell phones, notebook PCs and power supply modules that require a battery and AC adapter.
Features of the S-8460 include a variable output voltage (2.5 V to 6.0 V), a wide input voltage range (2.2 V to 18.0 V), an oscillation frequency of 300 kHz and an automatic recovery overload protection circuit. The S-8460 comes in a 16-pin TSSOP package.
Pricing for the S-8460 begins at $1.75 in quantities of 10K and is available now through a national network of authorized distributors, including All American, Mouser and Future Electronics.
