EL7551
Monolithic 1Amp DC:DC Step-down
Regulator
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
than 0.4 in
2
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.
