SP6654 High Efficiency 800mA Synchronous Buck Regulator

APPLICATION INFORMATION

Output Voltage Program

The output voltage is programmed by the external

divider, as shown in the typical application circuit

AC voltage seen by the loop comparator since the

internal FB pin capacitance can form a low pass

0.8V

Output Voltage Ripple Frequency

An important consideration in a power supply

application is the frequency value of the output

ripple. Given the control technique of the SP6654

(as described in the operations section), the

frequency of the output ripple will vary when in

light to moderate load in the discontinuous or

PFM mode. For moderate to heavy loads greater

than about 100mA inductor current ripple, (for

the typical 10

µH inductor application on 100mA

is half the 200mA inductor current ripple), the

output ripple frequency will be fairly constant.

From the operations section, this maximum loop

frequency in continuous conduction mode is:

1

Data for loop frequency, as measured from

output voltage ripple frequency, can be found in

the typical performance curves.

Layout Considerations

Proper layout of the power and control circuits is

necessary in a switching power supply to obtain

good output regulation with stability and a mini-

mum of output noise. The SP6654 application

circuit can be made very small and reside close to

the IC for best performance and solution size, as

long as some layout techniques are taken into

consideration. To avoid excessive interference

between the SP6654 high frequency converter and
