NCP1521B
1.5 MHz, 600 mA Step-Down
DC-DC Converter
High−Efficiency, Low Ripple, Adjustable
Output Voltage
The NCP1521B step−down DC−DC converter is a monolithic
integrated circuit optimized for portable applications powered from one
cell Li−Ion or three cell Alkaline/NiCd/NiMH batteries. The part,
available in adjustable output voltage versions ranging from 0.9 V to
3.9 V, is able to deliver up to 600 mA. It uses synchronous rectification
to increase efficiency and reduce external part count. The device also
has a built−in 1.5 MHz (nominal) oscillator which reduces component
size by allowing smaller inductors and capacitors. Automatic switching
PWM/PFM mode offers improved system efficiency.
Additional features include integrated soft−start, cycle−by−cycle
current limiting and thermal shutdown protection. The NCP1521B is
available in a space saving, low profile TSOP5 and UDFN6 packages.
