Step-down convertor is made for USB
designs
Operating at a fixed internal switching frequency of 1.5MHz, the SP6669 can reach 95% efficiency while providing up to 600mA of output current capability.
Exar has a new synchronous inductive step-down convertor that can deliver up to 600mA with output voltages as low as 0.6V The device is ideally suited for portable devices with a USB interface including digital cameras, portable media players and wireless networking amont others

Dual line interface handles multiple standards
The Exar XRT73L02 is a standards-compliant 3.3V two-channel transceiver line interface unit (LIU) for E3, DS3 and STS-1 applications.
"The SP6669 represents an evolutionary step for Exar by extending proven convertor technology to new USB specific-based designs", says Eric Pittana, Director of Marketing, Power Product Line.
"Based on a highly integrated design, the device is offered in a small form factor that can eliminate several discrete components giving system architects maxim flexibility for developing solutions for space constrained environments".
Operating at a fixed internal switching frequency of 1.5MHz, the SP6669 can reach 95% efficiency while providing up to 600mA of output current capability.
Its output voltage can be set as low as 0.6 or 1.5V and 1.8V for the fixed-output versions, which can be achieved from any input voltages from 2.5 to 5.5V.
This synchronous convertor offers tight 0.4%/V and 0.5% of line and load regulations.
Samples of the SP6669 are available now in a -40 to +85C temperature range.
In 1000-piece quantities in a SOT-23-5 package, the SP6669 is US $0.49.
