STMicroelectronics PM6685
PM6685 is a dual step-down controller specifically designed to provide extremely high efficiency conversion with loss-less current sensing technique. The constant on-time architecture assures fast load transient response and the embedded voltage feed-forward provides nearly constant switching frequency operation. The pulse skipping technique increases efficiency for very light loads.FEATURES

DESCRIPTION
An embedded integrator control loop compensates the DC voltage error due to the output ripple. Moreover, a minimum switching frequency of 33kHz is selectable in order to avoid audio noise issues. The PM6685 provides a selectable switching frequency, allowing either 200 kHz/300 kHz, 300 kHz/400 kHz, or 400 kHz/500 kHz operation of the 5 V/3.3 V switching sections.
