NCV8925
3 MHz, 600 mA Step-Down
DC-DC Converter
High-Efficiency, Low Ripple, Adjustable
Output Voltage
The NCV8925 DC-DC buck converter is available in a space saving
low profile TSOP-5 and
mUDFN6
package. The part can supply output
voltages from 0.9 V to 3.3 V by an external resistor divider and is able
to deliver output currents up to 600 mA. This switching regulator
operates at 3.0 MHz and automatically switches between PFM and
PWM modes to improve system efficiency.
Soft-start, cycle-by-cycle current limiting and thermal shutdown
protection are also integrated in NCV8925.
The device is optimized for automotive applications and bring a high
frequency DC-DC solution for automotive requirements.

Description
Power supply input for the PFET power stage, analog and digital blocks. The
pin must be decoupled to ground by a 10
mF
ceramic capacitor.
This pin is the GND reference for the NFET power stage and the analog sec‐
tion of the IC. The pin must be connected to the system ground.
Enable for switching regulators. This pin is active HIGH and is turned off by
logic LOW on this pin.
Feedback voltage from the output of the power supply. This is the input to the
error amplifier.
Connection from power MOSFETs to the Inductor.

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. Maximum electrical ratings are defined as those values beyond which damage to the device may occur at T
A
= 25°C.
2. According to JEDEC standard JESD22-A108B.
3. This device series contains ESD protection and exceeds the following tests:
Human Body Model (HBM) per JEDEC standard: JESD22-A114.
Machine Model (MM) per JEDEC standard: JESD22-A115.
4. Latchup current maximum rating per JEDEC standard: JESD78.
5. JEDEC Standard: J-STD-020A.
6. In applications with high power dissipation (low V
IN
, high I
OUT
), special care must be paid to thermal dissipation issues. Board design
considerations - thermal dissipation vias, traces or planes and PCB material - can significantly improve junction to air thermal resistance R
qJA
(for more information, see design and layout consideration section). Environmental conditions such as ambient temperature Ta brings thermal
limitation on maximum power dissipation allowed.
The following formula gives calculation of maximum ambient temperature allowed by the application:
Ta
MAX
= Tj
MAX
- (R
qJA
x Pd)
Where Tj is the junction temperature,
Where
Pd is the maximum power dissipated by the device (worst case of the application),
Where
and R
qJA
is the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
7. To prevent permanent thermal damages, this device include a thermal shutdown which engages at 180°C (typ).
