Monolithic 1Amp DC:DC Step-down
Regulator
Features
• Integrated synchronous MOSFETs and current mode
controller
The EL7551 is an integrated,
synchronous step-down regulator with
output voltage adjustable from 1.0V to
• 1A continuous output current
• Up to 95% efficiency
3.8V. It is capable of delivering 1A continuous current at up
to 95% efficiency. The EL7551 operates at a constant
frequency pulse width modulation (PWM) mode, making
external synchronization possible. Patented on-chip
resistorless current sensing enables current mode control,
which provides cycle-by-cycle current limiting, over-current
protection, and excellent step load response. The EL7551 is
available in a fused-lead 16-pin QSOP package. With proper
external components, the whole converter fits into a less
• 4.5V to 5.5V input voltage
• Adjustable output from 1V to 3.8V
• Cycle-by-cycle current limit
• Precision reference
• ±0.5% load and line regulation
• Adjustable switching frequency to 1.2MHz
• Oscillator synchronization possible
• Internal soft start

than 0.4 in area. The minimal external components and
small size make this EL7551 ideal for desktop and portable
applications.
The EL7551 is specified for operation over the -40°C to
+85°C temperature range.
• Over temperature protection
• Under voltage lockout
• 16-pin QSOP package
