GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SP6669 is a synchronous current mode
PWM step down (buck) converter capable of
delivering up to 600mA of current. It features
a pulse skip mode (PSM) for light load
efficiency and a LDO mode for 100% duty
cycle.
With a 2.5V to 5.5V input voltage range and a
1.5MHz switching frequency, the SP6669
allows the use of small surface mount
inductors and capacitors ideal for battery
power ed portable applications. The internal
synchronous switch increases efficiency and
eliminates the need for an external Schottky
diode. Low output voltages are easily
supported with the 0.6V feedback reference
voltage. The SP6669 is available in an
adjustab le output voltage version, using an
external resistor divider circuit, as well as
fixed output voltage v
ersions of 1.2V, 1.5V
and 1.8V.
Built - in over temperature and output over
voltage lock - out protections insure safe
operations
under
abnormal
operating
conditions.
The SP6669 is offered in a RoHS compliant,
- pin SOT23 package.

Note 1: The Switch Current Limit is related to the Duty Cycle. Please refer to figure 15 for
details.
Note 2: Dynamic quiescent current is higher due to the gate charge being delivered at the switching frequency.
