The key capabilities of the new DC-DC converters include flexibility for a wide range of output voltages and optimized for high efficiency power conversion with low RDSON integrated synchronous switches. The EcoSpeed ICs operate at up to 90 percent high efficiency capability and a wide input voltage range of 4.5V to 40V. The DC-DC synchronous switching regulators are fully integrated power switches with internal compensation and full fault protection. The switching frequency of 2.2 MHz is compatible with automotive requirements enabling the use of smaller filter components resulting in reduced board space and reduced bill of materials (BOM) costs.
“Semtech’s new EcoSpeed ICs provide optimized performance with heavy-duty, automotive qualification,” said Francois Ricodeau, Product Line Manager for Semtech’s Power and High-Reliability Products Group. “Our EcoSpeed DC-DC converter platform now provides a reduction in board real estate, lower overall system cost and ease of design that make the DC-DC synchronous switching regulators a robust solution for automotive applications.”

About EcoSpeed
The EcoSpeed DC-DC converter platform incorporates Semtech’s progressive, patented adaptive on-time (AOT) control architecture to deliver ultra-fast transient response and very high efficiency across light to full power loads. This unique architecture offers the benefits of conventional converter topologies with optimal tradeoffs for superior performance in next-generation low-power, dynamic point-of-load (POL) applications. EcoSpeed DC-DC converters emphasize pseudo-fixed switching frequency, programmable switching frequency, power save, SmartDrive™ technology, and no external compensation components are required. Our converters help designers meet today’s insistent green power requirements.
