Ultra light load high efficiency,VIN=17V,Current mode Step-down Io=3A Buck Regulator IC
NR131A
General Descriptions
The NR131A is buck regulator ICs integrates High-side
power MOSFETs. With the current mode control, ultra
low ESR capacitors such as ceramic capacitors can be
used. The ICs can realize super-high efficiency by
performing pulse skip operation at light load condition.
The ICs have protection functions such as Over-Current
Protection (OCP), Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO) and
Thermal Shutdown (TSD). Soft starting time can be set
up by selecting an external capacitor value. The ON/OFF
pin (EN Pin) turns the regulator on or off and helps to
achieve low power consumption requirements. The
NR131A is available in an 8-pin eSOIC package with an
exposed thermal pad on the back side.
