PWM Control & PWM/PFM Control High-Frequency
Step-Down Switching Regulator Controllers
S-8540/8541 Series
The S-8540/8541 Series is a family of CMOS step-down switching
regulator controllers with PWM control (S-8540) and PWM/PFM switchover
control (S-8541). These devices consist of a reference voltage source,
oscillation circuit, an error amplifier, phase compensation circuit, PWM
control circuit, current limit circuit. A high efficiency and large current
switching regulator is realized with the help of small external components
due to the high oscillation frequency, 300 kHz and 600 kHz.
The S-8540 provides low-ripple voltage, high efficiency, and excellent
transient characteristics which come form the PMW control circuit capable of
varying the duty ratio linearly from 0
%
to 100
%,
the optimized error
amplifier, and the phase compensation circuit.
The S-8541 operates under PWM control when the duty ratio is 29
%
or
higher and operates under PFM control when the duty ratio is less than
29
%
to ensure high efficiency over all load range.
These controllers serve as ideal main power supply units for portable
devices due to the high oscillation frequencies together with the small 8-Pin
MSOP package.

In the S-8540 series (PWM control), a state in which the duty ratio 0
