DESCRIPTION
The SP6120 is a fixed frequency, voltage mode, synchronous PWM controller designed to work
from a single 5V or 3.3V input supply. Sipex's unique "AnyFET
TM"
Technology allows the SP6120
to be used for resolving a multitude of price/performance trade-offs. It is separated from the PWM
controller market by being the first controller to offer precision, speed, flexibility, protection and
efficiency over a wide range of operating conditions.

No Connection
TTL compatible input with internal 4uA pullup. Floating or Venable> 1.5V
will enable the part, Venable < 0.65V disables part.
Current Sense Positive Input: Rail to Rail Input for Over-Current Detection,
43mV threshold with 10µs (typ) response time.
Current Sense Negative Input: Rail to Rail input for Over-Current
Detection.
Feedback Voltage Pin: Inverting input of the error amplifier and serves as
the output voltage feedback point for the buck converter. The output
voltage is sensed and can be adjusted through an external resistor divider.
Error Amplifier Compensation Pin: A lead lag network is typically
connected to this pin to compensate the feedback loop. This pin is
clamped by the SS voltage and is limited to 2.8V maximum.
Soft Start Programming Pin: This pin sources 50µA on start-up. A 0.01µF
to 1µF capacitor on this pin is typically enough capacitance to soft start a
power supply. In addition, hiccup mode timing is controlled by this pin
through the 5µA discharge current. The SS voltage is clamped to 2.7V
maximum.
Frequency Programming Pin: A resistor to ground is used to program
frequency. Typical values - 18,700 Ohms, 300kHz; 10,200 Ohms, 500kHz.
Programming Pin:
PROG = GND; MODE = NFET/CONTINOUS
PROG = 68k

PROG = V

; MODE = PFET/DISCONTINOUS
I.C. Supply Pin: ESD structures also hooked to this pin. Properly bypass
this pin to PGND with a low ESL/ESR ceramic capacitor.
Synchronous FET Driver: 1nF/20ns typical drive capability.
Power Ground Pin: Used for Power Stage. Connect Directly to GND at
I.C. pins for optimal performance.
Ground Pin: Main ground pin for I.C.
Switch Node Reference: High side MOSFET driver reference. Can also be
tied to GND for low voltage applications.
HIgh Side MOSFET Driver: Can be NFET or PFET depending on Program
Mode. 1nF/20ns typical drive capability. Maximum voltage rating is
referenced to SWN.
