EL7531 FN7428
Monolithic 1A Step-Down Regulator with Low Quiescent Current Rev 10.00
December 10, 2015
The EL7531 features automatic PFM/PWM mode control, or • Max height 1.1mm MSOP10
PWM mode only. The PWM frequency is typically 1.4MHz • Power-Good (PG) output
and can be synchronized up to 12MHz. The typical no load
quiescent current is only 120µA. Additional features include • Internally-compensated voltage mode controller
a Power-Good output, <1µA shut-down current, short-circuit • Up to 94% efficiency
protection, and over-temperature protection.
• <1µA shut-down current
The EL7531 is available in the 10 Ld MSOP package,
• 120µA quiescent current
making the entire converter occupy less than 0.15 in2 of
PCB area with components on one side only. The 10 Ld • Overcurrent and over-temperature protection
MSOP package is specified for operation over the full -40°C • External synchronizable up to 12MHz
