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.
