MP8675
6A, 42V, 420kHz Step-Down Converter
with Synchronizable Gate Driver
The Future of Analog IC Technology
DESCRIPTION
The MP8675 is a monolithic step-down switch
mode converter with a built in, internal high-side
power MOSFET. It achieves 6A continuous
output current over a wide input supply range
with excellent load and line regulation.
Current mode operation provides fast transient
response and eases loop stabilization.
Fault condition protection includes cycle-by-cycle
current limiting and thermal shutdown.
The MP8675 requires a minimum number of
readily available standard external components
and is available in an 8-pin SOIC package with
exposed pad.

Notes:
1) Exceeding these ratings may damage the device.
2) The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the
maximum junction temperature T
J
(MAX), the junction-to-
ambient thermal resistance
θ
JA
, and the ambient temperature
T
A
. The maximum allowable continuous power dissipation at
any ambient temperature is calculated by P
D
(MAX) = (T
J
(MAX)-T
A
)/θ
JA
. Exceeding the maximum allowable power
dissipation will cause excessive die temperature, and the
regulator will go into thermal shutdown. Internal thermal
shutdown circuitry protects the device from permanent
damage.
3) The device is not guaranteed to function outside of its
operating conditions.
4) Measured on JESD51-7, 4-layer PCB.

Name

Description
Switch Output.
Bootstrap. This capacitor is needed to drive the power switch’s gate above the supply
BST
voltage. It is connected between SW and BS pins to form a floating supply across the
power switch driver.
VCC
BG Driver Bias Supply. Decouple with a 1µF ceramic capacitor to GND.
BG
Gate Driver Output. Connect this pin to the gate of the synchronous MOSFET.
Ground. This pin is the voltage reference for the regulated output voltage. For this reason
GND,
care must be taken in its layout. This node should be placed outside of the M2 to C1
Exposed Pad ground path to prevent switching current spikes from inducing voltage noise into the part.
Exposed pad and GND must be connected together.
Feedback. An external resistor divider from the output to GND, tapped to the FB pin sets
the output voltage. To prevent current limit run away during a short circuit fault condition
FB
the frequency foldback comparator lowers the oscillator frequency when the FB voltage
is below 250mV.
EN/SYNC
On/Off Control and External Frequency Synchronization Input.
Supply Voltage. The MP8675 operates from a +4.5V to +42V unregulated input. C1 is
IN
needed to prevent large voltage spikes from appearing at the input.
