NB686
28 V, 8 A, Low Iq, High Current
Synchronous Buck Converter
with +/- 1 A LDO and Bufferd Refference
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The NB686 provides a complete power supply
with the highest density for DDR3, DDR3L,
LPDDR3, and DDR4 memory. It integrates a
high-frequency, synchronous, rectified, step-
down, switch-mode converter (VDDQ) with a
1 A sink/source LDO (VTT) and buffered low
noise reference (VTTREF).
Wide 4.5 V to 28 V Operating Input Range
Compatible for IMVP8
135 μA Low Quiescent Current
8 A Continous Output Current
9A Peak Output Current
Selectable Ultrasonic Mode
Selectable 500 kHz/700 kHz Switching
Frequency
The NB686 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.
Built-In +/- 1 A VTTLDO
1% Buffered VTTREF Output
Adaptive COT for Fast Transient
DC Auto-Tune Loop
Stable with POSCAP and Ceramic Output
Capacitors
Over-Temperature Warning
Internal Soft Start
Output Discharge
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.
The VTT LDO provides 1 A sink/source current
capability and requires only 22 μF ceramic
capacitors. The VTTREF tracks VDDQ/2 with
excellent 1% accuracy.
OCL, OVP, UVP, and Thermal Shutdown
Latch-Off Re-set via EN or Power Cycle
QFN 3mm x 3mm Package
Full protection features include OC limit, OVP,
UVP, thermal shutdown, and over-temperature
warning (OTW).
APPLICATIONS
Laptop Computer
Networking Systems
Server
The converter requires a minimum number of
external components, and it is available in a QFN
3mm x 3mm package.
