MP5493
36V, 0.6A, 550kHz, Synchronous
Buck Supercapacitor Charger and
Boost for PLC Mode
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MP5493 is an energy backup and
management unit that provides a very compact
and efficient energy management solution for
the power line carrier (PLC) in power meters.
The MP5493 consists of a buck DC/DC
converter combined with a bidirectional DC/DC

charger and boost topology. The MP5493 uses
the bidirectional converter to achieve optimal
energy transfer and to provide the most cost-
effective energy storage solution.
The MP5493 achieves high power conversion
efficiency across a wide load range by scaling
down the switching frequency (fSW) under light-
load conditions to reduce switching and gate
driving losses. Thermal shutdown provides
reliable and fault-tolerant operation.
