NCP1550
600 kHz PWM/PFM
Step−Down DC−DC
Controller
The NCP1550 is a monolithic micropower high frequency voltage
mode step−down controller IC, specially designed for battery operated
hand−held electronic products. With appropriate external P−type
MOSFET, the device can provide up to 2.0 A loading current with high
conversion efficiency. The device operates in Constant−Frequency
PWM mode at normal operation, that ensures low output ripple noise,
and which will automatically switch to PFM mode at low output loads
for higher efficiency. Additionally, value−added features of Chip
Enable to reduce IC Off−State current and integrated feedback resistor
network, make it the best choice for portable applications. The device is
designed to operate for voltage regulation with minimum external
components and board space. This device is available in a TSOP−5
package with six standard output voltage options.
