SP6122_04 Datasheet, PDF (17/19 Pages) Sipex Corporation – Low Voltage, Micro 8, PFET, Buck Controller Ideal for 1A to 5A, Small Footprint, DC-DC Power Converters
SP6122 Design Calculator Example: Evaluation Board with 3.3VIN, 1.9VOUT
Table 2, SP6122 Design Calculator, illus-
trates the calculations and formulas con-
tained in the Sipex Non-Synchronous Buck
Cad Calculator spreadsheet, (available in
the applications section of the Sipex website
at www.sipex.com). The example shown is
the same SP6122 Evaluation Board used
previously with VIN = 3.3V, VOUT = 1.9V at
4A. As you can see, the SP6122 efficiency
at 4A output is calculated to be 84.3%.
Compare this with the Typical Performance
Characteristics curve of 84.5%, which is
very close considering the tolerances of
various components, and you see how use-
ful this easy design calculator is to evaluate
your SP6122 designs.
