NCP6334B, NCP6334C
3MHz, 2A Synchronous
Buck Converter
High Efficiency, Low Ripple, Adjustable
Output Voltage
The NCP6334B/C, a family of synchronous buck converters, which
is optimized to supply different sub systems of portable applications
powered by one cell Li−ion or three cell Alkaline/NiCd/NiMH
batteries. The devices are able to deliver up to 2 A on an external
adjustable voltage. Operation with 3 MHz switching frequency allows
employing small size inductor and capacitors. Input supply voltage
feedforward control is employed to deal with wide input voltage
range. Synchronous rectification and automatic PWM/PFM power
save mode offer improved system efficiency. The NCP6334B/C is in a
space saving, low profile 2.0 x 2.0 x 0.75 mm WDFN−8 package.

Description
Power Ground for power, analog blocks. Must be connected to the system ground.
Switch Power pin connects power transistors to one end of the inductor.
Analog Ground analog and digital blocks. Must be connected to the system ground.
Feedback Voltage from the buck converter output. This is the input to the error amplifier. This pin
is connected to the resistor divider network between the output and AGND.
Enable of the IC. High level at this pin enables the device. Low level at this pin disables the
device.
PG pin is for NCP6334B with Power Good option. It is open drain output. Low level at this pin
indicates the device is not in power good, while high impedance at this pin indicates the device is
in power good.
MODE pin is for NCP6334C with mode external selection option. High level at this pin forces the
device to operate in forced PWM mode. Low level at this pin enables the device to operate in
automatic PFM/PWM mode for power saving function.
Analog Supply. This pin is the analog and the digital supply of the device. An optional 1
mF
or lar-
ger ceramic capacitor bypasses this input to the ground. This capacitor should be placed as close
as possible to this input.
Power Supply Input. This pin is the power supply of the device. A 10
mF
or larger ceramic capacit-
or must bypass this input to the ground. This capacitor should be placed as close a possible to
this input.
Exposed Pad. Must be soldered to system ground to achieve power dissipation performances.
This pin is internally unconnected

Stresses exceeding Maximum Ratings may damage the device. Maximum Ratings are stress ratings only. Functional operation above the
Recommended Operating Conditions is not implied. Extended exposure to stresses above the Recommended Operating Conditions may affect
device reliability.
1. This device series contains ESD protection and passes the following tests:
Human Body Model (HBM)
±2.0
kV per JEDEC standard: JESD22−A114.
Machine Model (MM)
±200
V per JEDEC standard: JESD22−A115.
2. Latchup Current per JEDEC standard: JESD78 Class II.
3. The thermal shutdown set to 150°C (typical) avoids potential irreversible damage on the device due to power dissipation.
4. The thermal resistance values are dependent of the PCB heat dissipation. Board used to drive these data was an 80 x 50 mm NCP6334EVB
board. It is a multilayer board with 1 once internal power and ground planes and 2−once copper traces on top and bottom of the board. If
the copper trances of top and bottom are 1 once too, R
qJC
= 11°C/W, R
qJB
= 30°C/W, and R
qJA
= 72°C/W.
5. The maximum power dissipation (PD) is dependent on input voltage, maximum output current and external components selected.
6. Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 per IPC/JEDEC standard: J−STD−020A.
