NCP1575
Low Voltage Synchronous
Buck Controller with
Adjustable Switching
Frequency
The NCP1575 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. 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. The NCP1575 operates at a default switching
frequency of 200 kHz, but switching frequency is user−programmable
with an additional resistor between R
OSC
and ground. This device
provides undervoltage lockout protection, soft−start, and built−in
adaptive nonoverlap and is assembled in an SOIC−8 package.
The NCP1575−based solution requires a bias supply of 12 V, and it
can convert from a bulk power supply ranging from 2 V to 12 V.
Conversion from bulk supplies greater than 7 V is best accomplished
by using an external doubler circuit to raise the enhancement voltage
for the external NFET switches.

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.
