NCP1589L
Low Voltage Synchronous
Buck Controller with Light
Load Efficiency and
Transient Enhancement
The NCP1589L is a low cost PWM controller designed to operate
from a 5 V or 12 V supply. This device is capable of producing an
output voltage as low as 0.8 V and converting voltage from as low as
2.5 V. It is easy to operate and provides an optimal level of integration
to reduce size and cost of the power supply. It operates in Ramp Pulse
Modulation mode for superior load step and release response. In
addition to fast transient response, it also includes a 1.5 A gate driver
design and light load efficiency features such as adaptive non−overlap
circuitry and diode emulation. It normally operates at a range of
200−500 kHz in continuous current conduction mode, which reduces
with current at light load for further power saving. Protection features
include programmable overcurrent protection, output overvoltage and
undervoltage protection and input undervoltage lockout (UVLO).

PIN FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
Pin No.

Symbol
BOOT
Description
Supply rail for the floating top gate driver. To form a boost circuit, use an external diode to bring the desired
input voltage to this pin (cathode connected to BOOT pin). Connect a capacitor (C
BOOT
) between this pin and
the LX pin. Typical values for C
BOOT
range from 0.1
mF
to 1
mF.
Ensure that C
BOOT
is placed near the IC.
Switch node pin. This is the reference for the floating top gate driver. Connect this pin to the source of the top
MOSFET. Also used for low side MOSFET R
DS(on)
current detection and diode emulation.
Top gate MOSFET driver pin. Connect this pin to the gate of the top N−channel MOSFET.
Bottom gate MOSFET driver pin. Connect this pin to the gate of the bottom N−channel MOSFET. Also used to
set the overcurrent limit.
IC ground reference. All control circuits are referenced to this pin. Connect to FLAG.
Supply rail for the internal circuitry. Operating supply range is 4.5 V to 13.2 V. Decouple with a 1
mF
capacitor
to GND. Ensure that this decoupling capacitor is placed near the IC. Also low−side MOSFET drive voltage.
Compensation Pin. This is the output of the error amplifier (EA) and the non−inverting input of the PWM com-
parator. Use this pin in conjunction with the FB pin to compensate the voltage−control feedback loop. Pull this
pin low for disable.
This pin is the inverting input to the error amplifier. Use this pin in conjunction with the COMP pin to com-
pensate the voltage−control feedback loop. Connect this pin to the output resistor divider (if used) or directly
to V
out
.
