DC/DC Converters
(Switching Regulators)
Skyworks’ broad product portfolio includes high-efficiency, pulse width modulation
(PWM) switch-mode voltage regulators ideal for a wide variety of applications such as
smartphones, portable navigation devices (PNDs), notebook computers, set-top boxes,
digital still cameras, and other portable electronic devices. Step-up and step-down
converter solutions are available for a range of output power, optimized in both size and
performance for specific power levels. The switch-mode products utilize high switching
frequencies to minimize output inductor and capacitor size. Internal compensation
eliminates the need for additional external components. These products provide optimal
light load efficiency and minimum light load ripple. In addition to excellent efficiency,
many SwitchReg™ products offer fast turn-on time and fast transient response
capabilities. Taking advantage of advanced modular bipolar CMOS DMOS (BCD) processes
allows very low resistance switches, and eliminates the need for special packages that
require additional thermal relief.
An application engineering team is available to assist you and with your design efforts.
