Features
General Description
• EL7556C Pin Compatible
• Improved Temperature and
Voltage Ranges
• 6A Continuous Load Current
• Precision Internal 1% Reference
• 1.0V to 3.8V Output Voltage
• Internal Power MOSFETs
• >90% Efficiency
The EL7556AC is an adjustable synchronous DC:DC switching regu-
lator optimized for a 5V input and 1.0-3.8V output. By combining
integrated NMOS power FETS with a fused-lead package the
EL7556AC can supply up to 6A continuous output current without the
use of external power devices or discrete heat sinks, thereby minimiz-
ing design effort and overall system cost.
On chip resistorless current sensing is used to achieve stable, highly
efficient, current-mode control. The EL7556AC also incorporates the
VCC2DET function to directly interface with the Intel P54 and P55
microprocessors. Depending on the state of VCC2DET the output
voltage is internally preset to 3.50V or a user adjustable voltage using
two external resistors. In both internal and external feedback modes
the active-high PWRGD output indicates when the regulator output is
within ±10% of the programmed voltage. An on-board sensor moni-
tors die temperature (OT) for over-temperature conditions and can be
connected directly to OUTEN to provide automatic thermal shutdown.
Adjustable oscillator frequency and slope compensation allow added
flexibility in overall system design.
