NCP1508
Up to 500 mA, 1 MHz, High
Efficiency Synchronous
Step−Down DC−DC
Converter in DFN Package
http://onsemi.com
The NCP1508 step−down PWM DC−DC converter is optimized
for portable applications powered from 1−cell Li−ion or 3 cell
Alkaline/NiCd/NiMH batteries. This DC−DC converter utilizes a
current−mode control architecture for easy compensation and better
line regulation. It also uses synchronous rectification to increase
efficiency and reduce external part count. The NCP1508 optimizes
efficiency in light load conditions when switched from a normal
PWM mode to a “pulsed switching” mode. The device also has a
built−in 1 MHz (nominal) oscillator for the PWM circuitry, or it can
be synchronized to an external 500 kHz to 1000 kHz clock signal.
Finally, it includes an integrated soft−start, cycle−by−cycle current
limiting, and thermal shutdown protection. The NCP1508 is
available in a space saving, low profile 3x3 mm 10 pin DFN package.
