NCP1587, NCP1587A
Low Voltage Synchronous
Buck Controller
The NCP1587 and NCP1587A are low cost PWM controllers
designed to operate from a 5 V or 12 V supply. These devices are
capable of producing an output voltage as low as 0.8 V. These 8−pin
devices provide an optimal level of integration to reduce size and cost
of the power supply. The NCP1587/A provide a 1 A gate driver design
and an internally set 275 kHz (NCP1587) and 200 kHz (NCP1587A)
oscillator. In addition to the 1 A gate drive capability, other efficiency
enhancing features of the gate driver include adaptive non−overlap
circuitry. The devices also incorporate an externally compensated
error amplifier and a capacitor programmable soft−start function.
Protection features include programmable short circuit protection and
under voltage lockout (UVLO). The NCP1587/A comes in an 8−pin
SOIC package.

PIN FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
Pin No.
1
Symbol
BST
Description
Supply rail for the floating top gate driver. To form a boost circuit, use an external diode to bring the
desired input voltage to this pin (cathode connected to BST pin). Connect a capacitor (C
BST
) between this pin
and the PHASE pin. Typical values for C
BST
range from 0.1
mF
to 1
mF.
Ensure that C
BST
is placed near the IC.
Top gate MOSFET driver pin. Connect this pin to the gate of the top N−Channel MOSFET.
IC ground reference. All control circuits are referenced to this pin.
Bottom gate MOSFET driver pin. Connect this pin to the gate of the bottom N−Channel MOSFET.
Supply rail for the internal circuitry. Operating supply range is 4.5 V to 13.2 V. Decouple with a 1
mF
capacitor to GND. Ensure that this decoupling capacitor is placed near the IC.
This pin is the inverting input to the error amplifier. Use this pin in conjunction with the COMP pin to
compensate the voltage−control feedback loop. Connect this pin to the output resistor divider (if used) or dir-
ectly to V
out
.
Compensation Pin. This is the output of the error amplifier (EA) and the non−inverting input of the PWM com-
parator. Use this pin in conjunction with the FB pin to compensate the voltage−control feedback loop. The com-
pensation capacitor also acts as a soft−start capacitor. Pull this pin low for disable.
Switch node pin. This is the reference for the floating top gate driver. Connect this pin to the source of the top
MOSFET.
