DESCRIPTION
The SP7651 is a high voltage synchronous step-down switching regulator optimized for high efficiency. The part is
designed to be especially attractive for dual supply, 12V step down with 5V used to power the controller. This lower V
voltage minimizes power dissipation in the part. The SP7651 is designed to provide a fully integrated buck regulator
solution using a fixed 900kHz frequency, PWM voltage mode architecture. Protection features include UVLO, thermal
shutdown and output short circuit protection. The SP7651 is available in the space saving 7mm X 4mm DFN package.

The SP7651 is a fixed frequency, voltage mode,
synchronous PWM regulator optimized for high
efficiency. The part has been designed to be
especially attractive for split plane applications
utilizing 5V to power the controller and 2.5V to
28V for step down conversion.
The SP7651 contains two unique control features that are very powerful in distributed applications. First, asynchronous driver control is
enabled during start up, to prohibit the low side
NFET from pulling down the output until the
high side NFET has attempted to turn on. Second, a 100% duty cycle timeout ensures that the
The heart of the SP7651 is a wide bandwidth
transconductance amplifier designed to accommodate Type II and Type III compensation
schemes. A precision 0.8V reference, present on
low side NFET is periodically enhanced during
extended periods at 100% duty cycle. This guarantees the synchronized refreshing of the BST
capacitor during very large duty ratios.
the positive terminal of the error amplifier permits the programming of the output voltage
down to 0.8V via the VFB pin. The output of the
error amplifier, COMP, which is compared to a
1.1V peak-to-peak ramp is responsible for trailing edge PWM control. This voltage ramp, and
PWM control logic are governed by the internal
oscillator that accurately sets the PWM fre-
The SP7651 also contains a number of valuable
protection features. Programmable UVLO allows the user to set the exact V
value at which

the conversion voltage can safely begin down
conversion, and an internal VCC UVLO ensures
that the controller itself has enough voltage to
properly operate. Other protection features in-
