About this manual

The PM6685 is a dual step-down controller specifically designed to provide high efficiency conversion with loss-less current sensing technique. It features a constant on-time architecture for fast load transient response and embedded voltage feed-forward for nearly constant switching frequency operation. The device includes selectable pulse skipping at light loads and a minimum switching frequency of 33 kHz to avoid audio noise issues.
