SPI-8010A overview

SPI-8010A is a component documented by Allegro MicroSystems. The PDF description identifies it as "3 A, DC/DC Step-Down Converter." This guide condenses the most useful engineering information from the available PDF so that designers and sourcing teams can identify the checks that still need confirmation in the original document.

Specifications and operating details

The following points were extracted from the PDF text. Check the associated conditions, notes and limits in the complete document before using a value in a design.

  • This device is supplied in a 16-lead surface-mount plastic SOIC with exposed pad to provide a low-resistance path for maximum power dissipation, low junction temperature, and improved reliability. ■Wide 8 V to 50 V Input Range ■Adjustable.
  • Under any set of conditions, do not exceed a junction temperature of +125°C.
  • Recommended Operating Conditions Min Max Units DC Input Voltage* V DC Output Current 0.02 A Adjustable Voltage Range 1.2 V Operating Junction Temp. -30 +125 °C† *The minimum value of dc input voltage is 8 V when the output is less than 5 V.
  • The recommended maximum value is 50 V when the output value is more than 2.5 V, derated linearly to 30 V when the output is 1 V. †For the availability of parts meeting -40°C require- ments, contact Allegro’s Sales Representative.

Engineering review checklist

  • Check resistance value, tolerance, temperature coefficient and long-term stability over the operating range.
  • Derate continuous power for ambient temperature and verify pulse or surge capability separately.
  • Match the land pattern, termination finish and current-sense routing to the exact package option.

Always confirm values against the latest manufacturer-controlled datasheet, especially when qualifying a substitute or releasing a production BOM.
