INTRODUCTION
The SMB206A/7A/8A are highly integrated and flexible dual-
output DC-DC regulators designed for use in a wide variety of
applications. High integration reduces system cost and
component count, while the built-in non-volatile digital
programmability cuts development time by allowing system
designers to custom tailor the device to suit almost any
application.
The SMB206A/7A/8A includes integrated high-side MOSFET
switches for up to 1A-3A continuous output current.
Programmable output voltages as low as +0.8V support the
latest VLSI digital cores. Minimum external components result
in a very compact solution size for space constrained
applications.
Sophisticated power control/monitoring functions required by

many systems are built-in and accessible via digital I C
interface. These include digitally programmable output voltage
setpoint,
power-up/down
softstart
and
sequencing,
independent enable/disable, output UV monitoring with
PowerGood/Reset output. Additionally, fine resolution voltage
margining is provided to allow for sophisticated system
optimization.
The integration of features and built-in flexibility of the
SMB206A/7A/8A allow the system designer to create a
“platform solution” that can be easily modified without
hardware changes. The SMB206A/7A/8A are well suited to
applications with an input range of +4.5V to +16V. The

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
DIGITAL INTERFACE/NON-VOLATILE
PROGRAMMING
2
The built-in serial digital I C/SMBus compatible port and
built-in non-volatile programming bring several benefits
to power supply design with the SMB206A/7A/8A. Many
external components are eliminated that would
otherwise be used to set configuration and parametric
values. Additionally, the digital interface allows for quick
and easy development and debug without hardware
changes. Finally, after the non-volatile power-up
configuration, the serial port can be used to re-program
the SMB206A/7A/8A by host software after the system is
running. For quick programming development and debug
use Summit’s prebuilt evaluation kit including a PC-
based graphical user interface (GUI).
DUAL PWM DC-DC REGULATORS
The SMB206A/7A/8A contains two integrated PWM DC-
DC step-down (buck) regulator(s) with identical features
and functions. The input voltage range is +4.5V to +16V
to support a wide variety of system applications. The
outputs support a full 1A-3A continuous output current
with a built-in cycle-by-cycle current limit. The output
voltage range is +0.8V and +5.0V and fully
programmable in non-volatile (static) or volatile
(dynamic, on-the-fly) via the serial digital interface. The
nominal “coarse” (100mV steps) voltage programming
provides flexibility for various types of loads without
hardware changes. In the SMB206A/7A/8A the “fine”
programming provides “margining” capability for
sophisticated system validation and optimization.
Built-in high-side MOSFETs work in conjunction with
external Schottky diode rectifiers in constant frequency
PWM-mode at high load currents or high efficiency pulse
skipping PFM-mode at light loads. Switching frequency
is programmable (500kHz/1000kHz) to trade off
efficiency and component size. Each output switches
o
180 out of phase with the other to reduce input ripple
current, switching noise and input capacitance
requirement. Bootstrapped high-side drive improves
efficiency and extends the operating voltage range.
Frequency compensation is fully integrated to further
reduce component count and cost.
POWER CONTROL/MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS
The SMB206A/7A/8A integrates several power
management functions that are typically otherwise
performed by external circuits. These include output
sequencing with programmable timing, hardware or
software-based
output
enable/disable,
and
programmable softstart timing. Also, the output voltages
are monitored with a programmable PGOOD/RESET
output (PGOOD asserts immediately, RESET delays
125ms). Software Enable bits and hardware Enable pins
work together to provide flexible power up/down and
manual/auto sequencing.
The
SMB206A/7A/8A
also
supports
digitally
programmable dynamic output voltage. The non-volatile
setting determines the power-up/static value but it can
be re-programmed by software via the serial interface.
The settings are +0.8V to +5.0V and can support
dynamic voltage/clock CPU cores or low power memory
modes.
