Product details
Overview
SKY87608-11-577LF from Skyworks Solutions is a non-synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with 4.5 V to 28 V input range, internal 180 mΩ high-side N-channel MOSFET, fixed 450 kHz switching frequency, adjustable 0.9 V to 0.8×VIN output, and 3 A load capability-used in set-top boxes for local 5 V/3.3 V rail generation.
For engineers reviewing the SKY87608-11-577LF datasheet, SKY87608-11-577LF pinout, SKY87608-11-577LF application, or SKY87608-11-577LF equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range compatibility, external compensation flexibility, thermal shutdown threshold (160 °C), soft-start timing (4 ms), and SOP-8L-EP package layout requirements.
Technical Context
The SKY87608-11-577LF implements peak current-mode control with internal slope compensation optimized for duty cycles >50%, using an external bootstrap capacitor (BST–LX) to drive the high-side MOSFET. It integrates input under-voltage lockout (3.5–4.2 V) and cycle-by-cycle overcurrent protection with 5 A typical peak current limit.
Thermal shutdown activates at 160 °C with 15 °C hysteresis, and the 4 ms soft-start ramps the 0.9 V feedback reference while discharging on EN deassertion, UVLO dropout, or thermal fault-ensuring controlled power-up without external timing components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 28 V - supports wide industrial and distributed power inputs without pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | Up to 3 A - delivers full rated load with internal high-side MOSFET (RDS(ON) = 180 mΩ typ). |
| Switching Frequency | Fixed 450 kHz (380–520 kHz range) - enables compact magnetics and predictable EMI filtering. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.9 V ±2% - sets output via external resistor divider; accuracy maintained across –40 °C to +85 °C. |
| Shutdown Current | <1 µA - minimizes system standby power when EN is low. |
| Soft-Start Time | 4 ms typical - prevents inrush current without external capacitor. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 160 °C activation, 145 °C recovery - protects die and PCB during overload or poor heatsinking. |
Pinout & Package
SKY87608-11-577LF uses an 8-pin SOP-8L-EP package (MSL1, 260 °C reflow) with exposed paddle thermally connected to PCB ground plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 IN | Input supply rail | Bypassed to GND with ≥10 µF ceramic; connects to source of internal high-side MOSFET and internal LDOs. |
| 2 LX | Switch node | Connects to inductor and Schottky diode cathode; carries high di/dt switching current. |
| 3 NC | No connect | Must remain unconnected and floating-no internal connection. |
| 4 GND | Analog and power ground | Common return for control circuitry and source of 12 Ω refresh MOSFET; tied to exposed paddle. |
| 5 FB | Feedback input | Senses output via resistive divider; regulates to 0.9 V reference; leakage <±0.2 µA. |
| 6 COMP | Error amplifier output | External RC network sets loop stability; supports type-II compensation for varied output capacitors. |
| 7 EN | Enable control | Logic-high (>1.7 V) enables regulation; logic-low (<0.4 V) forces shutdown with <1 µA quiescent current. |
| 8 BST | Bootstrap supply | Connects 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor to LX; sustains gate drive for high-side MOSFET during on-time. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated high-side MOSFET | 180 mΩ RDS(ON) eliminates external switch and reduces BOM count. |
| Internal refresh MOSFET | 12 Ω device ensures reliable boot capacitor recharge regardless of output voltage level. |
| Adjustable output voltage | Set from 0.9 V to 80% of VIN using two external resistors-supports multiple rail configurations. |
| External compensation | COMP pin allows full loop tuning for ceramic, tantalum, or electrolytic output capacitors. |
| Robust protection suite | Includes UVLO, cycle-by-cycle current limit, and thermal shutdown with auto-recovery. |
Applications
| Set-Top Box Power Rails | Distributed Industrial Power |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar non-synchronous step-down converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP2451DT-LF-Z | 36 V max input, 2 A output, 2 MHz switching, no internal refresh MOSFET | Higher frequency enables smaller inductors but requires external bootstrap diode; lower current rating | Preferred for space-constrained designs needing >1 MHz operation; not drop-in due to pinout and bias differences |
| TPS5430DDAR | 36 V max input, 3 A output, 500 kHz switching, integrated BOOT diode, no refresh MOSFET | Requires external bootstrap diode; lacks dedicated refresh path for low-VOUT startup | Valid alternative for 3 A loads where 0.9 V feedback and refresh MOSFET are not required |
Compared with MP2451DT-LF-Z and TPS5430DDAR, the SKY87608-11-577LF uniquely integrates a 12 Ω refresh MOSFET to guarantee reliable boot capacitor recharge at low output voltages, enabling robust startup from 0.9 V without external components-critical for industrial and set-top box applications with variable VOUT.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the SKY87608-11-577LF?
The SKY87608-11-577LF has an absolute maximum input voltage (IN to GND) of +30 V, with recommended operating range from 4.5 V to 28 V. Exceeding 30 V may cause permanent damage. The device includes input under-voltage lockout (UVLO) that disables operation below 3.5 V (rising edge) to prevent erratic behavior during brownout conditions. This UVLO threshold has 200 mV hysteresis for clean turn-on/turn-off transitions.
Does the SKY87608-11-577LF require an external bootstrap diode?
No, the SKY87608-11-577LF does not require an external bootstrap diode. It integrates an internal diode that charges the BST–LX bootstrap capacitor during the LX low phase. A 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor must be placed directly between BST and LX pins. The internal 12 Ω refresh MOSFET further ensures reliable boot capacitor recharge-even at low output voltages-eliminating need for external diodes or charge pumps used in competing controllers.
What is the purpose of the NC pin on the SKY87608-11-577LF?
Pin 3 of the SKY87608-11-577LF is designated NC (No Connect) and must remain unconnected and floating-there is no internal connection. Connecting this pin to any voltage or ground may compromise device reliability or cause malfunction. The NC designation is confirmed in Table 1 of the preliminary datasheet and applies strictly to the SKY87608-11-577LF SOP-8L-EP package configuration.
How does the SKY87608-11-577LF achieve output voltage adjustment?
The SKY87608-11-577LF achieves output voltage adjustment using an external resistive divider connected between VOUT, FB, and GND. The FB pin regulates to a precise 0.9 V reference, so VOUT = 0.9 V × (1 + RFB1/RFB2). The datasheet provides Table 5 with standard resistor values for outputs from 1.5 V to 20 V. Output is adjustable from 0.9 V minimum up to 80% of VIN, enabling flexible rail generation without trimming or DAC control.
What thermal protection features does the SKY87608-11-577LF include?
The SKY87608-11-577LF includes thermal shutdown that disables switching when junction temperature reaches 160 °C (typical), with automatic restart once temperature falls below 145 °C (15 °C hysteresis). Its SOP-8L-EP package has a θJA of 41 °C/W on a 1 inch² FR4 board. Maximum power dissipation is 2.8 W at 25 °C, derating by 27 mW/°C above ambient-enabling reliable operation in sealed industrial enclosures up to +85 °C ambient.
