NCP1546
1.5 A, 170 kHz, Buck
Regulator with
Synchronization Capability
The NCP1546 is a 1.5 A buck regulator IC operating at a
fixed−frequency 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 high−speed
logic. The NCP1546 accommodates input voltages from 4.0 V to 40 V
and contains synchronization circuitry.
The on−chip 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 on−chip power dissipation.
Protection circuitry includes thermal shutdown, cycle−by−cycle
current limiting and frequency foldback.
Features
• V
2
Architecture Provides Ultra−Fast Transient Response, Improved
Regulation and Simplified Design
• Wide Operating Range: 4 V to 40 V
• 2.0% Error Amp Reference Voltage Tolerance
• Switch Frequency Decrease of 4:1 in Short Circuit Conditions
Reduces Short Circuit Power Dissipation
• BOOST Lead Allows “Bootstrapped” Operation to Maximize
Efficiency
• Sync Function for Parallel Supply Operation or Noise Minimization
• Shutdown Lead Provides Power−Down Option
• 1.0 mA Quiescent Current During Power−Down
• Thermal Shutdown
• Soft−Start
• These are Pb−Free Devices
