MCP16311/2
30V Input, 1A Output, High-Efficiency,
Integrated Synchronous Switch Step-Down Regulator
Features
General Description
• Up to 95% Efficiency
The MCP16311/2 is a compact, high-efficiency, fixed
frequency, synchronous step-down DC-DC converter in
an 8-pin MSOP, or 2 x 3 TDFN package that operates
from input voltage sources up to 30V. Integrated
features include a high-side and a low-side switch, fixed
frequency peak current mode control, internal
compensation, peak current limit and overtemperature
protection. The MCP16311/2 provides all the active
functions for local DC-DC conversion, with fast transient
response and accurate regulation.
• Input Voltage Range: 4.4V to 30V
• 1A Output Current Capability
• Output Voltage Range: 2.0V to 24V
• Qualification: AEC-Q100 Rev. G, Grade 1 (-40°C
to 125°C)
• Integrated N-Channel High-Side and Low-Side
Switches:
- 170 m, Low Side
- 300 m, High Side
• Stable Reference Voltage: 0.8V
High converter efficiency is achieved by integrating the
current-limited, low-resistance, high-speed high-side
and low-side switches and associated drive circuitry.
The MCP16311 is capable of running in PWM/PFM
mode. It switches in PFM mode for light load
conditions and for large buck conversion ratios. This
results in a higher efficiency over all load ranges. The
MCP16312 runs in PWM-only mode, and is
recommended for noise-sensitive applications.
• Automatic Pulse Frequency Modulation/Pulse-
Width Modulation (PFM/PWM) Operation
(MCP16311):
- PFM Operation Disabled (MCP16312)
- PWM Operation: 500 kHz
• Low Device Shutdown Current: 3 µA typical
• Low Device Quiescent Current:
- 44 µA (non-switching, PFM Mode)
• Internal Compensation
The MCP16311/2 can supply up to 1A of continuous
current while regulating the output voltage from 2V to
12V. An integrated, high-performance peak current
mode architecture keeps the output voltage tightly
regulated, even during input voltage steps and output
current transient conditions common in power systems.
• Internal Soft-Start: 300 µs (EN low-to-high)
• Peak Current Mode Control
• Cycle-by-Cycle Peak Current Limit
• Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO):
- 4.1V typical to start
The EN input is used to turn the device on and off.
While off, only a few micro amps of current are
consumed from the input.
- 3.6V typical to stop
• Overtemperature Protection
• Thermal Shutdown:
Output voltage is set with an external resistor divider.
The MCP16311/2 is offered in small MSOP-8 and 2 x 3
TDFN surface mount packages.
- +150°C
- +25°C Hysteresis
