Product Preview
1.5 A, 1.5 MHz Current
Mode PWM Buck Down
Converter
The NCP1596/NCP1596A is a current mode PWM buck converter
with integrated power switch. It can provide up to 1.5 A output current
with high conversion efficiency. High frequency PWM control
scheme can provide a low output ripple noise. Thus, it allows the
usage of small size passive components to reduce the board space. In a
low load condition, the controller will automatically change to PFM
mode which provides a higher efficiency at low load. Additionally, the
device includes soft−start, thermal shutdown with hysteresis,
cycle−by−cycle current limit, and short circuit protection. This device
is available in a compact 3x3 DFN package.
