OR:  

The DC6M60xX6 family consists of highly efficient 6 MHz, 650 mA step-down DC-to-DC converters. The devices convert input voltages between 2.3 V and 5.5 V to fixed output voltages of 1.2 V, 1.5 V, 1.8 V or 2.85 V.

The devices of DC6M60xX6 family are optimized for battery-driven applications. Their high efficiency of up to 95 % enables an extended battery life in all portable designs. Buck operation at a switching frequency of 6 MHz allows using only a small low-cost 470 nH coil and two capacitors. Besides working with standard chip inductors, the DC6M60xX6 family devices also support Printed-Circuit Board (PCB) coils and air coils.

Product versions with and without automatic mode selection between Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) and Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) are available. Optionally the devices can be switched to forced PWM mode.

Features and benefits

  • Efficiency up to 95 %
  • Extremely low output ripple in PWM and PFM mode
  • ±2 % total DC output voltage accuracy
  • Soft start function for limiting inrush current
  • Short circuit and over-temperature protection
  • Integrated flyback diode
  • Enable input operates with an active HIGH or with a clock signal
  • Optional power good indicator output (XSHUTDOWN version)
  • Wafer-Level Chip-Size Package (WLCSP) with 0.4 mm pitch

Applications

  • Smartphones
  • Mobile handsets
  • Digital Still Cameras (DSC)
  • Tablet PCs
  • Mobile Internet Devices (MID)
  • Portable Media Players (PMP)
