DESCRIPTION
The MPQ4459 is a high frequency step-down
switching regulator with an integrated internal
high-side high voltage power MOSFET. It
provides 1.5A output with current mode control
for fast loop response and easy compensation.
The wide 3.8V to 36V input range
accommodates a variety of step-down
applications, including those in automotive
systems. A 120µA operational quiescent current
is suitable for use in battery-powered
applications.
The frequency foldback helps prevent inductor
current runaway during startup and thermal
shutdown provides reliable, fault tolerant
operation.
By switching at 4MHz, the MPQ4459 prevents
EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) noise
problems, such as those found in AM radio and
ADSL applications.
The MPQ4459 is available in thin 10-pin 3mm x
3mm TQFN package.
