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 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
• 1A continuous output current
• Up to 95% efficiency
• 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.

NOTE: Intersil Pb-free plus anneal products employ special Pb-free material
sets; molding compounds/die attach materials and 100% matte tin plate
termination finish, which are RoHS compliant and compatible with both SnPb
and Pb-free soldering operations. Intersil Pb-free products are MSL classified
at Pb-free peak reflow temperatures that meet or exceed the Pb-free
requirements of IPC/JEDEC J STD-020.
CAUTION: These devices are sensitive to electrostatic discharge; follow proper IC Handling Procedures.
