Product Overview
The SN6505BDBVR from Texas Instruments is a low-noise, low-EMI push-pull transformer driver designed for isolated power supplies. Operating from 2.25 V to 5.5 V with a 420-kHz internal oscillator, it delivers up to 1 A output drive current in a tiny 6-pin SOT-23 package. The device features spread-spectrum clocking, slew-rate control, and soft-start for ultra-low noise operation.
