As the input battery supply
decreases towards the output voltage , the SP6656 uses a special control loop
to seamlessly transition into 100% duty cycle mode with only 80uA quiescent
current, further extending useful battery life.
Solely as a result of this charge , the interest expense reduction, and
the additional shares that will now be outstanding, we are adjusting
our guidance for full year earnings per diluted share to the range of
