Monolithic 6 Amp DC-DC Step-Down
Regulator
Features
• Integrated MOSFETs
The EL7566 is a full-feature synchronous step-down regulator
capable of up to 6A and 96% efficiency. The device operates
• 6A continuous output current
• Up to 96% efficiency
from 3V to 6V input supply (V ). With internal CMOS power
IN
FETs, the device can operate at up to 100% duty ratio,
• Multiple supply start-up tracking
• Built-in ±5% voltage margining
allowing for an output voltage range of 0.8V to nearly V . An
IN
adjustable switching frequency up to 1MHz enables the use of
small components, thereby reducing board area consumption
to under 0.72sq-in on one side of a PCB. The EL7566
operates in constant frequency PWM mode, making external
synchronization possible. A soft-start feature is integrated in
the EL7566 to limit in-rush currents and allow for a smooth
voltage ramp from zero to regulation. Other start-up features
are integrated to add flexibility for synchronizing many
supplies in multiple configurations. The EL7566 also offers a
voltage margining capability that shifts the output voltage ±5%
for validation of system card performance and reliability during
manufacturing tests. A junction temperature indicator
conveniently monitors the silicon die temperature, saving time
in thermal characterization.

NOTE: Intersil Pb-free 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-020C.
CAUTION: These devices are sensitive to electrostatic discharge; follow proper IC Handling Procedures.
