DESCRIPTION
The
SP6122
is a PWM/PFM minimum on-time controller designed to work from a single 3V-
5.5V input supply. It is engineered specifically for size and minimum component count,
simplifying the transition from a linear regulator to a switcher solution. However, unlike other
“micro” parts, the
SP6122
has an array of value added features such as optional hiccup
mode, over current protection, TTL enable, “jitter and frequency stabilization” and a fault flag
pull-down pin. Combined with reference and driver specifications usually found on more
expensive integrated circuits, the
SP6122
delivers great performance and value in an 8 pin
MSOP package.

DESCRIPTION
Main Supply Pin: A RC filter as shown in the application circuit is
recommended. The decoupling capacitor needs to be close to the pin.
Fault Flag Pull-down Pin: Sinks current during a fault condition. Can
be hooked up to ENABLE to initiate Hiccup Timing.
Regulated Output Voltage: This voltage is divided internally and
compared to a 1.5%, 1.25V reference at the PFM comparator.
Enable Input: Floating this pin or pulling above 1.45V enables the
part. Pulling this pin to less than 0.9V will disable the part. A minimum
100pF capacitor is required between this pin and Ground to ensure
proper startup. If FFLAG is hooked to ENABLE, the capacitor on
ENABLE will control hiccup timing.
Negative Input to the Over Current Amplifier/Comparator: This input
is subtracted from the I
SET
input and gained by a factor of 3.3. The
output of this amplifier is compared with a 0.5V threshold, yielding a
150mV threshold. This threshold has a 3800 ppm/°C temperature
coefficient. If the subtraction exceeds 150mV, charge is pumped into
a capacitor until the capacitor hits V
CC
/2. At this time, the over current
fault is activated. If I
SET
= 0V and I
SENSE
= V
CC
, the part enters an
unprotected, 150µA quiescent current mode.
Positive Input to the Over Current Amplifier: 20µA flows into the I
SET
pin if it is pulled through a resistor to V
IN
. This current has a
4300ppm/°C temperature coefficient and can be used via external
resistor to raise the overcurrent trip point from 150mV to some higher
value. If I
SET
= 0V and I
SENSE
= 0V, the part enters an unprotected,
250µA quiescent current mode.
Power and Analog Ground: Hook directly to output ground.
Drive for PFET High Side Switch: 1nF/20ns Output Driver.
