NCP3163, NCV3163
3.4 A, Step-Up/Down/
Inverting 50-300 kHz
Switching Regulator
The NCP3163 Series is a performance enhancement to the popular
MC33163 and MC34163 monolithic DC−DC converters. These
devices consist of an internal temperature compensated reference,
comparator, controlled duty cycle oscillator with an active current
limit circuit, driver and high current output switch. This controller was
specifically designed to be incorporated in step−down, step−up, or
voltage−inverting applications with a minimum number of external
components. The NCP3163 comes in an exposed pad package which
can greatly increase the power dissipation of the built in power switch.

DESCRIPTION
This pin will sink current when FB1 and FB2 are less than the LVI threshold (V
th
).
Connecting this pin to a resistor divider off of the output will regulate the application
according to the V
out
design equation in Figure 22.
Connecting this pin directly to the output will regulate the device to 5.05 V.
Ground pin for all internal circuits and power switch.
Connect a capacitor to this pin to set the frequency. The addition of a parallel resist-
or will decrease the maximum duty cycle and increase the frequency.
Power pin for the IC.
When (V
CC
−V
IPKsense
) > 250 mV the circuit resets the output driver on a pulse by
pulse basis.
Voltage driver collector
Internal switch transistor collector
Internal switch transistor emitter
Connect this pin to V
CC
for operation at low V
CC
levels. For some topologies, a
series resistor and capacitor can be utilized to improve the converter efficiency.
These pins have no connection.
The exposed pad beneath the package must be connected to GND (pin 4). Addi-
tionally, using proper layout techniques, the exposed pad can greatly enhance the
power dissipation capabilities of the NCP3163.
