SN6501-Q1: VCC 3.3V and Transformer 5V supply

Part Number: SN6501-Q1

Hi team,

My customer wants to use SN6501 with VCC=3.3V and supply 5V for mid point of transformer. SN6501 will has lower frequency at 3.3V VCC condition.

Can they use like this?

Regards

Michael

    Hi Michael,

    Thank you for posting to E2E!

    This system is expected to operate with SN6501 connected to Vcc = 3.3V and the transformer center-tap connected to 5V with the following notes to consider about performance in this configuration:

    • As you mentioned, the switching frequency frequency for SN6501 is lower at 3.3V operation than 5V operation (360kHz typ. vs. 410kHz typ.)
    • SN6501's current-sinking capability at Vcc = 3V is also lower than at Vcc = 5V (150mA vs. 350mA)
    • Switching losses will be slightly higher due to higher Rds_on
    • The transformer will require a V-t product >11V-us to account for the higher center-tap voltage and slower switching frequency


    Please let us know if there are additional concerns or questions.


    Respectfully,
    Manuel Chavez
