NB672/NB673
24V, High Current
Synchronous Buck Converter
With +/-1.5A LDO and Buffed Reference
The Future of Analog IC Technology
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
•
•
Wide 5V to 24V Operating Input Range
6A Continuous Output Current and 8A Peak
Output Current (NB672)
The NB672/NB673 provides a complete power
supply for DDR3, DDR3L and LPDDR2 memory
with the highest power density. It integrates a
high frequency synchronous rectified step-down
switch mode converter (VDDQ) with a 1.5A
sink/source LDO (VTT) and buffered low noise
reference (VTTREF).
•
8A Continuous Output Current and 10A
Peak Output Current (NB673)
Built-in +/- 1.5A VTTLDO
Low RDS(ON) Internal Power MOSFETs
Proprietary Switching Loss Reduction
Technique
•
•
•
The fully integrated Buck converter of
NB672/NB673 is able to deliver 6A/8A
continuous output current and 8A/10A peak
output current over a wide input supply range
with excellent load and line regulation. The
Buck converter employs the Constant-On-Time
(COT) control scheme, which provides fast
transient response and eases loop stabilization.

Under voltage lockout is internally set as 4.5V.
An open drain power good signal indicates
VDDQ is within its nominal voltage range.
Full protection features include OCP, OVP, and
thermal shut down.
All MPS parts are lead-free and adhere to the RoHS directive. For MPS green
