Application Note: SY8120B1
High Efficiency Fast Response, 2A, 18V Input
Synchronous Step Down Regulator
General Description
SY8120B1 develops high efficiency synchronous step-
down DC-DC converter capable of delivering 2A load
current . SY8120B1 operates over a wide input voltage
range from 4.5V to 18V and integrates main switch and
synchronous switch with very low R
DS(ON)
to minimize
the conduction loss.
SY8120B1 adopts the instant PWM architecture to
achieve fast transient responses for high step down
applications and high efficiency at light loads. In
addition, it operates at pseudo-constant frequency of
500 kHz under heavy load conditions to minimize the
size of inductor and capacitor.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are for
stress ratings. Functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the
operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions may affect
device reliability.
