MP1601
1A, Synchronous, Step-Down Converter
with 11µA Quiescent Current
in SOT563
The Future of Analog IC Technology
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MP1601 is a monolithic, step-down, switch-
mode converter with built-in, internal power
MOSFETs. It can achieve 1A of continuous
output current from a 2.3V-to-5.5V input voltage
range with excellent load and line regulation.
The output voltage can be regulated as low as
0.6V.
Low Quiescent Current: 11μA
2.2MHz Switching Frequency
EN for Power Sequencing
Power Good Only for Fixed Output Version
Wide 2.3V-to-5.5V Operating Input Range
Output Adjustable from 0.6V
Up to 1A of Output Current
160mΩ and 120mΩ Internal Power
MOSFET Switches
The constant-on-time control scheme provides
a fast transient response and eases loop
stabilization. Fault protections include cycle-by-
cycle current limiting and thermal shutdown.
Output Discharging
Short-Circuit Protection (SCP) with Hiccup
Mode
The MP1601 is available in an ultra-small
SOT563 package and requires a minimal
number of readily available, standard, external
components.
Stable with Low ESR Output Ceramic
Capacitors
100% Duty Cycle
Available in a SOT563 Package
The MP1601 is ideal for a wide range of
applications including high-performance DSPs,
wireless power, portable and mobile devices,
and other low-power systems.
