Seiko Announces Ultra-Small Step-Up Switching Regulators



Torrance, CA, March 18, 2002. Seiko Instruments introduces the ultra-small S-835X Series of PWM and PWM/PFM CMOS switching regulators. The S-835X Series consists of a reference voltage source, an oscillation circuit, an error amplifier, a phase
compensation circuit, a PWM control Circuit (S-8355/57) and a PVWM/FM switching control circuit (S-8356/58). The S-835X Series is available in four different packages including the ultra-small SNB6B which offers a 55% footprint reduction when compared
with the SOT-23 package. Oscillation frequencies of 100, 250 and 300 kHz are available. The S-835X Series switching regulators are ideal for a wide range of applications, including digital cameras, notebook PCs, PDAs, portable audio devices, video cameras and communication equipment.

The S-8355/57 Series realizes low ripple, high efficiency and excellent transient characteristics with the PWM control circuit. The S-8356/58 Series switches its operation to the PFM control circuit with the PWM/PFM switching control circuit under light loads to provide high efficiency over all load conditions.

The S-835X Series features low operation current consumption of 25.9 microA (3.3 V, 100 kHz, typ.), soft start function and shutdown function. Engineers can select output voltages
from 1.5 V to 6.5 V in 0.1 V steps for the E, G, and J models and from 2.0 V to 6.5 V in 0.1 V steps for the B, H, F, K, L and M models. Duty ratios are 0% to 83% (0-78% for 250 and 300 kHz models) for the S-8355/57 and 15% to 83% (15-78% for 250 and 300
kHz models) for the S-8356/58.

The S-835X Series is available now and is priced at $0.36 each for the SNB6B package and $0.35 for other package options in quantities of 10,000 through a national network of authorized distributors, including All American and Mouser. Samples are available.
