MPQ8612
High Efficiency, 12A/16A/20A, 6V
Synchronous Step-down Converter
The Future of Analog IC Technology
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The MPQ8612 is fully integrated high frequency
synchronous rectified step-down switch mode
converter. It offers very compact solutions to
achieve 12A/16A/20A output current from a 3V to
6V input with excellent load and line regulation.

provides fast transient response and eases loop
stabilization. The MPQ8612 can operate with a
low-cost electrolytic capacitor and can support
ceramic output capacitor with external slope
compensation.
•
•
•
Operating frequency is programmed by an
external resistor and is compensated for
variations in VIN.
•
•
•
Under voltage lockout is internally set at 2.8 V,
but can be increased by programming the
threshold with a resistor network on the enable
pin. The output voltage startup ramp is
controlled by the soft start pin. A power good
signal indicates the output is within its nominal
voltage range.
Output Adjustable from 0.608V to 4.5V
APPLICATIONS

Full fault protection including OCP, SCP, OVP
UVP and OTP is provided by internal
comparators.
The MPQ8612 requires a minimum number of
readily available standard external components
and are available in QFN3X4/4X4/4X4 packages.
