SMB206A/7A/8A
Preliminary 1 (See Last Page)
Dual Programmable Buck Regulators with Integrated MOSFETs and Digital
Control
FEATURES & APPLICATIONS
INTRODUCTION
The SMB206A/7A/8A are highly integrated and flexible dual-
output DC-DC regulators designed for use in a wide variety of
applications. High integration reduces system cost and
component count, while the built-in non-volatile digital
programmability cuts development time by allowing system
designers to custom tailor the device to suit almost any
application.

Integrated power MOSFET switches
1A-3A output current with built in current limit
Input voltage range: +4.5V to +16V
Output voltage +0.8V to +5.0V (+/-2.5% accuracy)
Automatic PFM mode for light load efficiency
Integrated frequency compensation
The SMB206A/7A/8A includes integrated high-side MOSFET
switches for up to 1A-3A continuous output current.
Programmable output voltages as low as +0.8V support the
latest VLSI digital cores. Minimum external components result
in a very compact solution size for space constrained
applications.

The integration of features and built-in flexibility of the
SMB206A/7A/8A allow the system designer to create a
“platform solution” that can be easily modified without
hardware changes. The SMB206A/7A/8A are well suited to
applications with an input range of +4.5V to +16V. The
operating temperature range is -40oC to +85oC and the
available packages are 3mm X 3mm 20-pad QFN or 6.5mm X
6.4mm TSSOP-24.
