The S-8520/8521 Series is a CMOS step-down switching regulator-controller with PWM control (S-8520 Series) and PWM
/ PFM switching control (S-8521 Series). The S-8520/8521 Series has a reference voltage source, an oscillation circuit, an
error amplifier, and other components.
The S-8520 Series provides low-ripple power, high efficiency, and excellent transient characteristics due to a PWM control
circuit capable of varying the duty ratio linearly from 0% up to 100%. The S-8520/8521 Series also has a soft-start circuit
that prevents overshoot at startup.
The S-8521 Series works with either PWM control or PFM control. 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%. The S-8520/8521
Series ensures high efficiency over a wide range of conditions for devices, from the standby mode to the operation.
By adding external Pch power MOS FET or PNP transistor, coil, capacitor, and externally connected diode, the
S-8520/8521 Series can function as a step-down switching regulator, and is ideal for power supply units of portable
devices due to small SOT-23-5 and the feature of low current consumption. It is also ideal for AC adapters due to the input
voltage up to 16 V.
