NCP1532
Dual Output Step-Down
Converter 2.25 MHz
High-Efficiency, Out of
Phase Operation, Low
Quiescent Current, Source
up to 1.6 A
The NCP1532 dual step down DCDC converter is a monolithic
integrated circuit dedicated to supply core and I/O voltages of new
multimedia design in portable applications powered from 1−cell
Li−ion or 3 cell Alkaline / NiCd / NiMH batteries.
Both channels are externally adjustable from 0.9 V to 3.3 V and can
source totally up to 1.6 A, 1.0 A maximum per channel. Converters are
running at 2.25 MHz switching frequency which reduces component
size by allowing the use of small inductor (down to 1
mH)
and
capacitors and operates 180° out of phase to reduce large amount of
current demand on the battery. Automatic switching PWM/PFM mode
and synchronous rectification offer improved system efficiency. The
device can also operate into fixed frequency PWM mode for low noise
applications where low ripple and good load transients are required.
Additional features include integrated soft−start, cycle−by−cycle
current limit and thermal shutdown protection. The device can also be
synchronized to an external clock signal in the range of 2.25 MHz.
The NCP1532 is available in a space saving, ultra low profile
3x3 x 0.55 mm 10 pin
mDFN
package.

Type

Description
Feedback voltage from the output 1. This is the input to the error amplifier.
Enable for converter 1. This pin is active HIGH (higher than 1.2 V) and is turned off by
logic LOW (lower than 0.4 V.
Do not leave this pin floating.
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.
Connection from power MOSFETs of output 1 to the Inductor.
This pin is the GROUND reference for the analog section of the IC. The pin must be
connected to the system ground by 10
mF
low ESR ceramic capacitor.
Combination Mode Selection and Oscillator Synchronization. If this pin is LOW, the
regulator runs in automatic switching PFM/PWM. With a HIGH level (equal or lower
Analog Input voltage), the converter runs in PWM mode only. This pin can be also syn-
chronized to an external clock in the range of 2.25 MHz; in this case the device runs in
PWM mode only. Insert the clock before enabling the part is recommended to force
external synchronization. Do not let this pin floating.
Following rule is being used:
”0”: Eco mode, automatic switching PFM/PWM, 180° out of phase.
“1”: Low noise, forced PWM mode, 180° out of phase.
”CLK”: External synchronization, forced PWM mode, 0° in phase.
Connection from power MOSFETs of output 2 to the Inductor.
Power On Reset. This is an open drain output. This output is shutting down when each
output voltages are less than 90% of their nominal values and goes high after 120 ms
when active outputs are within regulation. A pullup resistor around 500k should be
connected between POR and V
IN
, V
OUT1
or V
OUT2
depending on the supplied device.
Enable for converter 2. This pin is active HIGH (higher than 1.2 V) and is turned off by
logic LOW (lower than 0.4 V). Do not let this pin floating.
Feedback voltage from the output 2. This is the input to the error amplifier.
This pin is the GROUND reference for the NFET power stage of the IC. The pin must
be connected to the system ground and to both input and output capacitors.

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 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: T
A(max)
= T
J(max)
−
(R
qJA
x P
d
)
Where
T
J
is the junction temperature,
P
d
is the maximum power dissipated by the device (worst case of the application), 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 (typical).
8. Board recommended UDFN10 layout is described in Layout Considerations section.
