NCP1571
Low Voltage Synchronous
Buck Controller
The NCP1571 is a low voltage buck controller. It provides the
control for a DC−DC power solution producing an output voltage as
low as 0.980 V over a wide current range. The NCP1571−based
solution is powered from 12 V with the output derived from a 2−7 V
supply. It contains all required circuitry for a synchronous NFET buck
regulator using the V
2
t
control method to achieve the fastest possible
transient response and best overall regulation. NCP1571 operates at a
fixed internal 200 kHz frequency and is packaged in an SOIC−8.
This device provides undervoltage lockout protection, Soft−Start,
Power Good with delay, and built−in adaptive non−overlap. During
undervoltage lockout, the NCP1571 controller allows the power
supply output to drift down, allowing the load time to shut off. This
operation distinguishes the NCP1571 from other parts in its family.

Maximum ratings are those values beyond which device damage can occur. Maximum ratings applied to the device are individual stress limit
values (not normal operating conditions) and are not valid simultaneously. If these limits are exceeded, device functional operation is not implied,
damage may occur and reliability may be affected.

Power supply input.
Open collector output goes low when V

is out of regulation. User must externally
limit current into this pin to less than 20 mA.
External capacitor programs PWRGD low−to−high transition delay.
Error amp output. PWM comparator reference input. A capacitor to LGND provides
error amp compensation and Soft−Start. Pulling pin < 0.475 V locks gate outputs to a
zero percent duty cycle state.
High−side switch FET driver pin. Capable of delivering peak currents of 1.5 A.
Low−side synchronous FET driver pin. Capable of delivering peak currents of 1.5 A.
