Description

   The EL7558BC is an adjustable synchronous DC:DC switching regulator optimized for a 5V input and 1.0V-3.8V output. By combining integrated NMOS power FETS with a HSOP package the EL7558BC can supply up to 8A continuous output current without the use of external power devices or externally attached heat sinks, thereby minimizing design effort and overall system cost.

   On-chip resistorless current sensing is used to achieve stable, highly efficient, current-mode control. The EL7558BC also incorporates the VCC2DET function to directly interface with the Intel P54 and P55 microprocessors. Depending on the state of VCC2DET, the output voltage is internally preset to 3.50V or a user-adjustable voltage using two external resistors. In both internal and external feedback modes the active-high PWRGD output indicates when the regulator output is within ±10% of the programmed voltage. An on-board sensor monitors die temperature (OT) for over-temperature conditions and can be connected directly to OUTEN to provide automatic thermal shutdown. Adjustable oscillator frequency and slope compensation allow added flexibility in overall system design.

   The EL7558BC is available in the 28-pin HSOP package and is specified for operation over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
