NCP3155A, NCP3155B
3 A Synchronous Buck
Regulator
The NCP3155 is a DC/DC synchronous switching regulator with
fully integrated power switches and full fault protection. The
switching frequency of 1 MHz and 500 kHz allows the use of small
filter components, which results in smaller board space and reduced
BOM cost. Available in a SOIC-8 package.

PIN FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
Pin

2
Pin Name
PGND
V
IN
Description
The PGND pin is the high current ground pin for the lower MOSFET and drivers which should be soldered to a
large copper area to reduce thermal resistance.
The V
IN
pin powers the internal control circuitry and is monitored by an undervoltage comparator. The V
IN
pin
is also connected to the internal power NMOS switch. It is also used in conjunction with the V
SW
pin to sense
current in the high side MOSFET. The V
IN
pin has high dI/dt edges and must be decoupled to PGND pin close
to the pin of the device.
Supply rail for the floating top gate driver. Connect a capacitor (CBST) between this pin and the V
SW
pin. Typ-
ical values for CBST range from 1 nF to 10 nF.
Compensation pin. The comp pin is the output of the transconductance amplifier and the non−inverting input of
the PWM comparator. The comp pin in conjunction with the FB pin are used to compensate the voltage−control
feedback loop.
Inverting input to the Operational Transconductance Amplifier (OTA). The FB pin in conjunction with the extern-
al compensation serves to stabilize and achieve the desired output voltage with voltage mode compensation.
The AGND pin serves as small−signal ground. All small−signal ground paths should connect to the AGND pin
at a single point to avoid any high current ground returns.
Bottom gate MOSFET driver pin and the internal current set pin. Place a resistor to ground to set the current
limit of the converter.
The V
SW
pin is the connection of the drain and source of the internal N MOSFETS. The V
SW
pin swings from
V
IN
when the high side switch is on to small negative voltages when the low side switch is on with high dV/dt
transitions.
