The Si9174 is a high efficiency 600-mA step down converter
with internal low on resistance power MOSFET switch and
synchronous rectifier transistors. It is designed to convert one
cell LiIon battery or three cell alkaline battery voltages to a
dynamically adjustable dc output. The voltage on the DAC pin
controls the output voltage. The output voltage is adjustable
between 0.4 V and the input voltage VIN less a small dropout
voltage and settles in <30 ms.
In order to insure efficient conversion throughout the entire
load range, PWM (pulse width modulation), PSM (pulse
skipping mode) or Auto mode can be selected. In PWM mode,
2-MHz switching permits use of small external inductor and

capacitor sizes allowing one of the smallest solutions. To
minimize system noise, the switching frequency can be
synchronized to an external 13-MHz clock.
PSM mode provides increased efficiency at light loads. In PSM
mode the oscillator frequency is kept above 20 kHz to avoid
audio band interference. When operating in Auto mode, the
converter automatically selects operating in either PWM or
PSM mode according to load current demand.
The Si9174 is available in 10-pin MSOP and even smaller
MLP33 packages and is specified to operate over the
industrial temperature range of –40_C to 85_C.
