Application Note: SY8079
High Efficiency 6.5V, 2A continuous, 3A peak, 1MHz
Synchronous Step Down Regulator
Preliminary Specification
General Description
The SY8079 is a high-efficiency, high frequency
synchronous step-down DC-DC regulator IC capable of
delivering up to 2A output current. The SY8079
operates over a wide input voltage range from 2.7V to
6.5V and integrates main switch and synchronous
switch with very low R
DS(ON)
to minimize the
conduction loss.
Low output voltage ripple and small external inductor
and capacitor sizes are achieved with greater than
1MHz switching frequency.

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