About this manual

The SP6128A is a fixed‑frequency, voltage‑mode, synchronous PWM controller designed for low‑voltage DC‑DC step‑down converters. It operates from a single 3 V‑5.5 V supply, provides up to 95 % efficiency, and integrates two N‑channel MOSFET drivers with internal non‑overlap circuitry.

Key features include an internal 300 kHz oscillator, programmable over‑current threshold, soft‑start circuit, UVLO protection, and a compact 14‑pin TSSOP package. The device is intended for applications requiring small size, high efficiency, and precise output regulation.

Frequently asked questions

What is the fixed operating frequency of the SP6128A?

The controller uses an internal oscillator set to 300 kHz.

How does the SP6128A implement soft‑start?

It includes an internal soft‑start circuit with a slew rate of 0.1‑0.6 V/µs that ramps the error‑amp reference during power‑up.

What is the UVLO start voltage for the device?

The UVLO start threshold is specified at 2.8 V.
