The Future of Analog IC Technology
12A Output Current
DESCRIPTION
Low RDS(ON) Integrated Power MOSFETs
Proprietary Switching Loss Reduction
Technique
Adaptive COT for Ultrafast Transient
Response
Stable with Zero ESR Output Capacitor
0.5% Reference Voltage over 0°C to
+70°C Junction Temperature Range
1% Reference Voltage from -40°C to
+125°C Junction Temperature Range
Pin-Selectable Pulse-Skip Mode or Forced
CCM Operation
The MPQ8634A is a fully integrated, high-
frequency, synchronous, buck converter. The
MPQ8634A offers a very compact solution that
achieves up to 12A output current with excellent
load and line regulation over a wide input
supply range. The MPQ8634A operates at high
efficiency over a wide output current load range.
The
MPQ8634A
adopts
an
internally
compensated constant-on-time (COT) control
mode that provides fast transient response and
eases loop stabilization.
The operating frequency can be set to 600kHz,
800kHz, or 1000kHz easily with MODE
Excellent Load Regulation
Output Voltage Tracking
Output Voltage Discharge
PGOOD Actively Clamped at a Low Level
during Power Failure
configuration,
allowing
the
MPQ8634A
frequency to remain constant regardless of the
input/output voltages.
Programmable Soft-Start Time from 1.5ms
Pre-Bias Start-Up
The output voltage start-up ramp is controlled
by an internal 1.5ms timer. It can be increased
by adding a capacitor on TRK/REF. An open-
drain power good (PGOOD) signal indicates
when the output is within its nominal voltage
range. PGOOD is clamped at around 0.7V with
an external pull-up voltage when the input
supply fails to power the MPQ8634A.
Selectable Switching Frequency from
600kHz, 800kHz, and 1000kHz
Latch-Off OCP, UVP, UVLO, Thermal
Shutdown, and Latch-Off for OVP
Output Adjustable from 0.9V to 90%*VIN,
up to 6V Max
