MP2492
2A, 55V, 100kHz Step-Down Converter
with Programmable Output Current Limit
The Future of Analog IC Technology
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
•
•
•
•
Wide 4.5V to 55V Operating Input Range
Programmable up to 2A Output Current
Output Adjustable from 0.8V to 15V
Programmable Output Current Limit without
power loss
The MP2492 is a monolithic step-down switch
mode converter with a programmable output
current limit. It achieves 2A continuous output
current over a wide input supply range with
excellent load and line regulation.
•
•
0.25Ω Internal Power MOSFET Switch
Stable with Low ESR Output Ceramic
Capacitors
Fixed 100kHz Frequency
Low EMI signature
Thermal Shutdown
Cycle-by-Cycle Over Current Protection
Available in QFN10 and SOIC8E Packages
The maximum output current can be
programmed by sensing current through the
inductor DC resistance (DCR) or an accurate
sense resistor.

•
•
•
MP2492 achieves low EMI signature with well
controlled switching edges.
Fault condition protection includes cycle-by-cycle
current limiting, and thermal shutdown.
APPLICATIONS
The MP2492 requires a minimum number of
readily available standard external components.
The MP2492 is available in QFN10 (3mm x 3mm)
and SOIC8E packages.
