NCP1596A
1.5 A, 1.5 MHz Current
Mode PWM Buck Down
Converter
The NCP1596A is a current mode PWM buck converter with
integrated power switch. It can provide up to 1.5 A output current with
high conversion efficiency. High frequency PWM control scheme can
provide a low output ripple noise. Thus, it allows the usage of small
size passive components to reduce the board space. In a low load
condition, the controller will automatically change to PFM mode
which provides a higher efficiency at low load. Additionally, the
device includes soft−start, thermal shutdown with hysteresis,
cycle−by−cyclecurrent limit, and short circuit protection. This device
is available in a compact 3x3 DFN package.
