NCP5211A
Low Voltage Synchronous
Buck Controller
The NCP5211A is a low voltage synchronous buck controller. It
contains all required circuitry for a synchronous buck converter using
external N−Channel MOSFETs. High current internal gate drivers are
capable of driving low R
DS(on)
NFETs for better efficiency. The
NCP5211A is in a 14 pin package to minimize PCB area.
The NCP5211A provides overcurrent protection, undervoltage
lockout, soft start and built in adaptive nonoverlap. The NCP5211A is
adjustable over a frequency range of 150 kHz to 750 kHz. This gives
the designer more flexibility to make efficiency and component size
compromises. The NCP5211A will operate on a single supply or a
separate boost supply.

FUNCTION
High Side Switch FET driver pin. Capable of delivering peak currents of 1.0 A.
Power supply input for the high side driver.
Reference ground. All control circuits are referenced to this pin. IC substrate connection.
Input for the PWM comparator.
Error amplifier input.
Error Amp output. PWM Comparator reference input. A capacitor to LGND provides error amp
compensation.
Internal reference is connected to this ground. Connect directly at the load for ground remote
sensing.
A resistor from this pin to SGND sets switching frequency.
Input Power Supply Pin. It supplies power to control circuitry. A 0.1
µF
decoupling cap is
recommended.
Negative input for overcurrent comparator.
Positive input for overcurrent comparator.
Power supply input for the low side driver.
Low Side Synchronous FET driver pin. Capable of delivering peak currents of 1.0 A.
High Current ground for the GATE(H) and GATE(L) pins.
