The SP6128A is a fixed frequency, voltage mode, synchronous PWM controller designed to work from a single 5V or 3.3V input supply, providing excellent AC and DC regulation for high efficiency power conversion. Requiring only few external components, the SP6128A packaged in a 14-pin TSSOP, is especially suited for low voltage applications where cost, small size and high efficiency are critical. The operating frequency is internally set to 300kHz, allowing small inductor values and minimizing PC board space. The SP6128A drives two N-channel power MOSFETs for improved efficiency and includes an accurate 0.8V reference for low output voltage applications.

  • Optimized for single supply, 3V to 5.5V applications
  • High efficiency: greater than 95% possible
  • Discontinuous startup for pre-charged output
  • Accurate fixed 300kHz frequency operation
  • Fast transient response
  • Internal soft-start circuit
  • Accurate 0.8V reference allows low output voltages
  • Resistor programmable output voltage
  • Resistor programmable overcurrent Threshold
  • Loss-less current limit with high side RDS(ON) sensing
  • Hiccup mode current limit protection
  • Dual N-channel MOSFET synchronous driver
  • Quiescent current: 500μA, 30μA in shutdown
  • 14 pin TSSOP

10/10/2023 Product Discontinuation Notice
07/17/2023 In 2023, MaxLinear will be converting all shipping labels for the parts noted from an EXAR format to MaxLinear’s label. During this transition customers may receive either label. This change affects only shipping and packing labels. This change will not affect the part number, part marking, manufacturing process or manufacturing sites. Only work in progress material will be converted. Existing inventory from MaxLinear’s warehouse, channel sales, distributor, and such, will not be converted. Hence, customers may experience receiving mixed shipments with both Exar and MaxLinear labels for some period until existing inventory of old labels is eventually cleared out. Situation is product to product with no predictable way to determine when all old labels will be exhausted. No change to product form, fit, function and reliability. ADDENDUM A: Fixed MBB label logo for DX204001 to MaxLinear logo. ADDENDUM B: Replaced ‘All other affected products outer box label’ with clearer pictures. Corrected Date Issued (from original PCN) issue date +90 days to August 30, 2023.
