NCP1511
Up to 500 mA, High
Efficiency Synchronous
Step−Down DC−DC Converter
in Chip Scale Package
The NCP1511 step−down PWM DC−DC converter is optimized
for portable applications powered from 1−cell Li−ion or 3−cell
Alkaline/NiCd/NiMH batteries. This DC−DC converter utilizes a
current−mode control architecture for easy compensation and better
line regulation. It also uses synchronous rectification to increase
efficiency and reduce external part count. The NCP1511 optimizes
efficiency in light load conditions when switched from a normal
PWM mode to a “pulsed switching” mode. The device also has a
built−in oscillator for the PWM circuitry, or it can be synchronized to
an external 500 kHz to 1000 kHz clock signal. Finally, it includes an
integrated soft−start, cycle−by−cycle current limiting, and thermal
shutdown protection. The NCP1511 is available in a chip scale
package.

.
Synchronization input for the PWM converter. If a clock signal is present, the converter
uses the rising edge for the turn on. If this pin is low, the converter is in the Pulsed mode.
If this pin is high, the converter uses the internal oscillator for the PWM mode. This pin
contains an internal pull down resistor.
Ground connection for the Analog Section of the IC. This is the GND for the FB, Ref,
Sync, CB, and SHD pins.
Feedback Voltage from the Output of the Power Supply.
Enable for Switching Regulator. This Pin is Active High to enable the NCP1511. The SHD
Pin has an internal pull down resistor to force the converter off if this pin is not connected
to the external circuit.

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.
