SC2612ESTRT

Overview

The SC2612ESTRT is an 8-pin synchronous PWM control switch regulator manufactured by Semtech. It utilizes a buck topology and operates with a fixed output voltage of 800 mV. The device is housed in a SOIC-8 package designed for surface mount (SMD/SMT) installation. It complies with RoHS standards, indicating restricted hazardous substances compliance. This component functions as a switching voltage regulator within the power management IC category.

Feature Summary

• Integrates synchronous PWM control architecture for efficient voltage regulation
• Features a compact 8-pin SOIC surface-mount package design
• Provides a fixed low-voltage output configuration

Applications

• General-purpose DC-DC step-down conversion circuits
• Embedded power management systems requiring fixed low voltage rails
• Portable electronic devices utilizing synchronous buck topologies

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'E' against the official manufacturer datasheet to confirm environmental compliance status and pinout compatibility. Ensure the required 800 mV fixed output aligns with the target load specifications before integration. Confirm that the SOIC-8 footprint matches the PCB layout requirements. Cross-reference the manufacturing date code to ensure component freshness and reliability standards are met for the intended application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 800 mV output is strictly required without external feedback adjustment. The synchronous buck topology offers higher efficiency compared to non-synchronous alternatives at similar current levels. Consider the SOIC-8 package size constraints during PCB layout planning. Evaluate thermal dissipation capabilities based on the expected load current and ambient operating temperature conditions to ensure stable performance.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Semtech SC26 series of switch regulators. It shares the synchronous buck architecture family but differs from adjustable variants like the SC2612A. The fixed output specification distinguishes it from programmable regulators, simplifying design implementation for standard voltage rail generation applications in consumer and industrial electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the official Semtech replacement guide for direct equivalents. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and electrical parameter alignment with any proposed substitute components. Ensure the alternative device supports the same 800 mV fixed output requirement and SOIC-8 packaging format.
