DESCRIPTION
The SP6656 is a 400mA synchronous buck regulator that is ideal for portable applications that
use a Li-Ion or 3 cell alkaline/NiCD/NiMH input. The SP6656’s proprietary control loop, 20µA light
load quiescent current, and 0.3Ω power switches provide excellent efficiency across a wide range
of output currents. As the input battery supply decreases towards the output voltage the SP6656
seamlessly transitions into 100% duty ratio operation further extending useful battery life. The
SP6656 is protected against overload and short circuit conditions with a precise inductor peak
current limit. Other features include externally programmable output voltage down to 1.0V,
dynamically adjustable output voltage, logic level shutdown control, and 140°C over temperature
shutdown.

power switches are opened.
External feedback network input connection. Connect a resistor from
FB to ground and FB to V
OUT
to set the output voltage. This pin
regulates to the internal bandgap reference voltage of 0.8V.
Output voltage sense pin. Used by the timing circuit to set minimum on
and off times.
Internal ground pin. Control circuitry returns current to this pin.
