The SY21243A high-efficiency synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator is capable of delivering 8A current over a wide input voltage range of 4V to 24V.

Silergy’s constant on-time (COT) ripple-based control strategy supports high input/output voltage ratios (low duty cycles), and fast transient response while maintaining a near-constant operating frequency over line, load, and output voltage ranges. This control method provides stable operation without complex compensation, even with low-ESR ceramic capacitors.

Internal 20mΩ power and 10mΩ synchronous rectifier switches provide excellent efficiency over a range of applications, especially for low output voltages and low duty cycles. The SY21243A also integrates a bypass switch that allows the IC to be powered by an external DC source. The SY21243A offers protection against multiple conditions, including cycle-by-cycle current limit, input undervoltage lockout, output undervoltage and overvoltage protection, internal soft-start, and thermal shutdown.

Only the input and output capacitors, inductor, and feedback resistors need to be selected for the targeted application.

The SY21243A is available in a compact QFN2.5×2.5-16 package.
