MP2164
2.5 - 5.5V, 3A, 2.3MHz, High Efficiency,
Synchronous Step-Down Converter
with MODE Pin in Small 2x2mm QFN Package
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MP2164 is a monolithic, step-down, switch-
mode converter with built-in, internal power
MOSFETs that can achieve 3A of continuous
output current from a 2.5V to 5.5V input voltage
rangewith excellent load and line regulation.
The output voltage can be regulated as low as
0.6V. The MP2164 is ideal for powering
portable equipment that run on a single-cell
Lithium-ion (Li+) battery.
More than 80% Light-Load Efficiency
Forced PWM and Auto PFM Option
Wide 2.5V to 5.5V Operating Input Range
Output Voltage as Low as 0.6V
100% Duty Cycle in Dropout
3A Output Current
32mΩ and 20mΩ Internal Power MOSFET
2.3MHz Frequency
Internal Soft Start (SS)
Short-Circuit Protection (SCP) with Hiccup
Mode
Thermal Shutdown
Stable with Low ESR Output Ceramic
Capacitors
Available in a QFN-12 (2mmx2mm)
Package
The constant-on-time (COT) control scheme
provides fast transient response, high light•load
efficiency, and easy loop stabilization.
Full protection features include output over-
voltage protection (OVP), cycle•by•cycle current
limiting, and thermal shutdown.
The MP2164 is available in a QFN-12
(2mmx2mm) package.
APPLICATIONS
Wireless Cards
Smartphones
Low-Voltage I/O System Power
