NCV8856A
The NCV8856A is an adjustable output, synchronous buck
controller, which drives dual N−channel MOSFETs, ideal for high
power applications. Average current mode control is employed for
very fast transient response and tight regulation over wide input
voltage and output load ranges. The IC incorporates an internal fixed
6.0 V low−dropout linear regulator (LDO), which supplies charge to
the switch mode power supply’s (SMPS) bottom gate driver, limiting
the power lost to excess gate drive. The IC is designed for operation
over an input voltage range of 4.5 V to 38 V and is capable of 10 to 1
voltage conversion at 500 kHz.
Additional controller features include undervoltage lockout,
overvoltage shutdown, internal soft−start, low quiescent current sleep
mode, programmable frequency, SYNC function, average current
limiting, cycle−by−cycle overcurrent protection and thermal
shutdown.
