Product details
Overview
SKY87202-11-631LF from Skyworks Solutions is a 3.5 A, 1.2 MHz constant on-time synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with adjustable output voltage (0.6 V to 3.3 V), 2.7 V–6.0 V input range, and integrated 50 mΩ PMOS/40 mΩ NMOS power switches-used in portable devices for efficient core voltage regulation.
For engineers reviewing the SKY87202-11-631LF datasheet, SKY87202-11-631LF pinout, SKY87202-11-631LF application, or SKY87202-11-631LF equivalent, key selection factors include adjustable VOUT range, QFN-12 (2 mm × 2 mm) package footprint, cycle-by-cycle over-current protection, power-good signaling, and soft-start timing.
Technical Context
The SKY87202-11-631LF implements constant on-time control architecture enabling fast transient response and stable operation with low-ESR ceramic output capacitors only-no external compensation required. Its internal PWM logic drives high-side and low-side MOSFETs with matched gate drive timing to minimize shoot-through risk.
Power sequencing is managed via dedicated EN (enable) and PG (power good) pins, while thermal shutdown and cycle-by-cycle current limiting provide fault protection without external circuitry. The FB/NC pin configures feedback for adjustable output mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 6.0 V - supports single-cell Li-ion, dual-cell alkaline, or USB-powered systems without pre-regulation |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.6 V to 3.3 V (adjustable via external resistor divider) - enables precise core voltage tuning for SoCs and FPGAs |
| Max Output Current | 3.5 A continuous - sustains full load under worst-case thermal conditions in compact 2 mm × 2 mm QFN |
| Switching Frequency | 1.2 MHz - allows use of small 1 µH inductors and 22 µF ceramic capacitors, reducing board area |
| Peak Efficiency | 95% at mid-load - minimizes power loss and thermal rise in battery-operated portable devices |
| Internal MOSFET RDS(on) | 50 mΩ (HS), 40 mΩ (LS) - reduces conduction loss and eliminates need for external power switches |
| Light Load Efficiency | 80% at 10 mA - extends battery runtime during standby/sleep modes without forced PWM |
Pinout & Package
The SKY87202-11-631LF is housed in a 12-pin, 2 mm × 2 mm Quad Flat No-Lead (QFN) package, MSL1 rated, with exposed thermal pad (PGND-connected) for enhanced heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PVIN | Power input for internal LDO and gate drivers | Bypassed separately from VIN to reduce noise coupling into control circuitry |
| VIN | Main power input (2.7–6.0 V) | Connected to input capacitor; supplies high-side and low-side MOSFETs |
| EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic input with internal pull-down; controls startup sequencing and standby mode |
| PG | Power-good open-drain output | Signals valid regulation (VOUT within ±5%); used for system power sequencing |
| FB/NC | Feedback input / No-connect (fixed version) | In SKY87202-11-631LF, connects to resistor divider for adjustable VOUT setting |
| OUT | Regulated output node | Connects directly to output capacitor and load; low-impedance path for high-frequency currents |
| LX | Switch node | Drives external inductor; requires tight layout to minimize EMI and switching losses |
| AGND | Analog ground reference | Separate ground for feedback and control circuitry to avoid noise injection into error amplifier |
| PGND | Power ground (high-current return) | High-current return path for MOSFETs and inductor; tied to thermal pad for thermal performance |
| NC (pins 2,11) | No-connect | Unbonded die pads; must be left floating or connected to PGND per layout guidelines |
| NC (pins 3,12) | No-connect | Unbonded die pads; no electrical function; avoid routing signals underneath |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant on-time control | Enables stable loop response with zero external compensation components-reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity |
| Integrated power MOSFETs | Eliminates need for external high-side/low-side switches; simplifies design and improves efficiency over discrete solutions |
| Power-good (PG) output | Provides system-level power sequencing capability without external supervisor ICs or discrete comparators |
| Soft-start function | Internally controlled ramp limits inrush current during startup-prevents input rail collapse and output overshoot |
| Cycle-by-cycle over-current protection | Detects and limits peak switch current every cycle-avoids thermal runaway during short-circuit or overload events |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down DC-DC converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62864DRLR | 3.6 A, 2.4 MHz, fixed 1.2 V output only; no adjustable version in same package | Requires external resistor network for voltage adjustment; lacks dedicated PG pin | Preferred when higher frequency and smaller inductor size are prioritized over output flexibility |
| RTQ2132BGQW | 3.5 A, 1.5 MHz, adjustable 0.6–3.3 V, but uses 16-pin WQFN (3 mm × 3 mm) | Larger footprint and different pinout; includes spread-spectrum modulation for EMI reduction | Chosen when EMI compliance is critical and PCB area permits larger package |

FAQ
What is the output voltage configuration of the SKY87202-11-631LF?
The SKY87202-11-631LF is the adjustable-output variant of the SKY87202 family, supporting 0.6 V to 3.3 V via an external resistor divider connected to the FB/NC pin. Unlike the fixed 1.2 V SKY87202-12-631LF, this part requires two external resistors to set VOUT, enabling design flexibility across multiple SoC core voltages.
Does the SKY87202-11-631LF require external compensation components?
No, the SKY87202-11-631LF uses constant on-time control architecture that achieves stable operation without external compensation networks. Its internal loop is optimized for use with low-ESR ceramic output capacitors only-reducing bill-of-materials count and layout complexity compared to voltage-mode or current-mode controllers.
How does the SKY87202-11-631LF handle over-current conditions?
The SKY87202-11-631LF implements cycle-by-cycle over-current protection that monitors high-side MOSFET current on every switching cycle. When exceeded, the high-side switch is immediately disabled for that cycle-limiting peak inductor current and preventing thermal damage during sustained overload or short-circuit events.
What is the thermal shutdown threshold for the SKY87202-11-631LF?
The SKY87202-11-631LF activates thermal shutdown at approximately 150 °C junction temperature. Once triggered, the device halts switching and holds output disabled until the die cools below the hysteresis threshold (~20 °C below trip point), ensuring safe recovery without manual reset.
Can the SKY87202-11-631LF be used with ceramic output capacitors only?
Yes, the SKY87202-11-631LF is specifically designed to operate stably with low-ESR ceramic output capacitors-no electrolytic or tantalum capacitors required. The control loop and internal compensation are optimized for typical 22 µF X5R/X7R ceramics, simplifying filtering and improving reliability in high-vibration environments.
