Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Launches 5A EZBuck™ DC-DC Regulator with Ultra Pulse Energy Mode (U-PEM)
April 19 2017 - 8:00AM
Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Limited (AOS) (Nasdaq:AOSL), a
designer, developer and global supplier of a broad range of power
semiconductors today announced the release of the AOZ6605, a high
efficiency and simple-to-use synchronous step-down regulator with
PWM switching frequency of 650 kHz and input voltage range of 4.5V
to 18V. The solution is ideal for consumer, networking and
industrial applications such as LCD TVs, set-top boxes, cable
modems, and power supplies.

Leveraging AOS’s co-package EZBuck™ design, the AOZ6605
integrates a 55mΩ high-side and 12mΩ low-side MOSFET, and provides
5A of continuous output current at over 90% efficiency and
maintains it at 86% efficiency while in 10mA light load
operation.
When operating in low output current conditions, the AOZ6605
will operate in an ultra pulse energy mode (U-PEM) to obtain high
efficiency. Under heavy load steady-state conditions, the AOZ6605
will operate in fixed frequency and Continuous-Conduction Mode
(CCM).
“As AOS’s latest generation of 5A DC-DC Buck Converter, AOZ6605
reduces standby current and improves light load efficiency to
minimize standby power consumption. With an output voltage
adjustable down to 0.6V, AOZ6605 becomes more intuitive and a more
applicable DC/DC solution,” said Kenny Hu, Power IC Marketing
Manager at AOS.
