Applications Note: SY8087
High Efficiency 1.5MHz, 1.5A
Synchronous Step Down Regulator
General Description
The SY8087 is a high-efficiency, high frequency
synchronous step-down DC-DC regulator IC capable of
delivering up to 1.5A output currents. SY8087 operates
over a wide input voltage range from 3V to 5.5V 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 listed as the above “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 for extended periods may remain possibility to affect device reliability.
