PWM Control & PWM/PFM Control
Step-Down Switching Regulator-Controllers
S-8520/8521 Series
The S-8520/8521 Series consists of CMOS step-down switching regulator-
controllers with PWM-control (S-8520) and PWM/PFM-switched control (S-
8521). These devices contain a reference voltage source, oscillation circuit,
error amplifier, and other components.
The S-8520 Series provides low-ripple power, high-efficiency, and excellent
transient characteristics thanks to a PWM control circuit capable of varying
the duty ratio linearly from 0
%
up to 100
%.
The series also contains an
error amplifier circuit as well as a soft-start circuit that prevents overshoot at
startup.
The S-8521 Series works with either PWM control or PFM control, and can
switch from one to the other. It normally operates using PWM control with a
duty ratio of 25
%
to 100
%,
but under a light load, it automatically switches
to PFM control with a duty ratio of 25
%.
This series ensures high efficiency
over a wide range of conditions, from standby mode to operation of
peripheral equipment.
With the addition of an external Pch Power MOS FET or PNP transistor, a coil,
capacitors, and a diode connected externally, these ICs can function as step-down
switching regulators. They serve as ideal power supply units for portable devices
when coupled with the SOT-23-5 minipackage, providing such outstanding features
as low current consumption. Since this series can accommodate an input voltage
of up to 16 V, it is also ideal when operating via an AC adapter.
