SWITCHABLE SWITCHING REGULATOR CONTROLLER

The S-8540/8541 Series is a family of CMOS step-down switching regulator controllers with PWM control (S-
8540 Series) and PWM/PFM switchover control (S-8541 Series). These devices consist of a reference voltage
source, oscillation circuit, an error amplifier, phase compensation circuit, PWM control circuit, current limit
circuit. A high efficiency and large current switching regulator is realized with the help of small external
components due to the high oscillation frequency, 300 kHz and 600 kHz.
The S-8540 Series provides low-ripple voltage, high efficiency, and excellent transient characteristics which
come from the PMW control circuit capable of varying the duty ratio linearly from 0 to 100%, the optimized error
amplifier, and the phase compensation circuit.
The S-8541 Series operates under PWM control when the duty ratio is 29% or higher and operates under PFM
control when the duty ratio is less than 29% to ensure high efficiency over all load range.
These controllers serve as ideal main power supply units for portable devices due to the high oscillation
frequencies together with the small 8-Pin MSOP package.
