NB680
28V, Low Iq, High Current, Fixed 3.3V-8A
Synchronous Buck Converter
with 100 mA LDO
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The NB680 is a fully integrated, high-frequency,
synchronous, rectified, step-down, switch-mode
converter with a fixed 3.3 V Vout. It offers a
very compact solution to achieve an 8 A
continuous output current and a 10 A peak
output current over a wide input supply range
with excellent load and line regulation.
Wide 4.8 V to 28 V Operating Input Range
Fixed 3.3 V Vout
Ultrasonic Mode with Fs over 25 kHz
100 μA Low Quiescent Current
8 A Continous Output Current
10 A Peak Output Current
Adaptive COT for Fast Transient
DC Auto-Tune Loop
Stable with POSCAP and Ceramic Output
Capacitors
250 kHz CLK for External Charge Pump
Built-In 3.3 V, 100 mA LDO with Switch
Over
1% Reference Voltage
Internal Soft Start
The NB680 operates at high efficiency over a
wide output current load range based on MPS
proprietary switching loss reduction technology
and internal low Ron power MOSFETs.
Adaptive constant-on-time (COT) control mode
provides fast transient response and eases loop
stabilization. The DC auto-tune loop provides
good load and line regulation.
Output Discharge
NB680 provides a fixed 3.3 V LDO, which can
power the external peripheries, such as the
keyboard controller in the laptop.
700 kHZ Switching Frequency
OCL, OVP, UVP, and Thermal Shutdown.
Latch-Off Reset via EN or Power Cycle.
QFN 2mm x 3mm Package
Also, a 250 kHz CLK is available; its output can
drive an external charge pump, generating gate
drive voltage for the load switches without
reducing the main converter’s efficiency.
APPLICATIONS
Laptop Computers
Tablet PCs
Full protection features include OC limit, OVP,
UVP, and thermal shutdown.
Networking Systems
Servers
Personal Video Recorders
Flat Panel Television and Monitors
Distributed Power Systems
NB680 requires a minimum number of external
components and is available in
2mm x 3mm package.
