NCP1546
1.5 A, 170 kHz, Buck
Regulator with
Synchronization Capability
The NCP1546 is a 1.5 A buck regulator IC operating at a
fixedfrequency of 170 kHz. The device uses the V
2
t control
architecture to provide unmatched transient response, the best overall
regulation and the simplest loop compensation for today’s highspeed
logic. The NCP1546 accommodates input voltages from 4.0 V to 40 V
and contains synchronization circuitry.
The onchip NPN transistor is capable of providing a minimum of
1.5 A of output current, and is biased by an external “boost” capacitor
to ensure saturation, thus minimizing onchip power dissipation.
Protection circuitry includes thermal shutdown, cyclebycycle
current limiting and frequency foldback.

PACKAGE PIN DESCRIPTION
SO8 DFN18
PIN SYM-
BOL
FUNCTION
1 1 BOOST The BOOST pin provides additional drive voltage to the onchip NPN power transistor. The
resulting decrease in switch on voltage increases efficiency.
2 24 V
IN
This pin is the main power input to the IC.
3 57 V
SW
This is the connection to the emitter of the onchip NPN power transistor and serves as the
switch output to the inductor. This pin may be subjected to negative voltages during switch off
time. A catch diode is required to clamp the pin voltage in normal operation. This node can
stand 1.0 V for less than 50 ns during switch node flyback.
4 8 SHDNB The shutdown pin is active low and TTL compatible. The IC goes into sleep mode, drawing less
than 1.0 mA when the pin voltage is pulled below 1.0 V.
This pin should be pulled up to V
CC
with a resistor.
5 10 SYNC This pin provides the synchronization input.
6 13 GND Power return connection for the IC.
7 16 V
FB
The FB pin provides input to the inverting input of the error amplifier. If V
FB
is lower than 0.29 V,
the oscillator frequency is divided by four, and current limit folds back to about 1 ampere. These
features protect the IC under severe overcurrent or short circuit conditions.
8 17 V
C
The V
C
pin provides a connection point to the output of the error amplifier and input to the PWM
comparator. Driving of this pin should be avoided because onchip test circuitry becomes active
whenever current exceeding 0.5 mA is forced into the IC.
