NCP3126
3 A Synchronous PWM
Switching Converter
The NCP3126 is a flexible synchronous PWM Switching Buck
Regulator. The NCP3126 is capable of producing output voltages as
low as 0.8 V. The NCP3126 also incorporates voltage mode control.
To reduce the number of external components, a number of features
are internally set including switching frequency. The NCP3126 is
currently available in an SOIC8 package.

Table 1. PIN DESCRIPTION
Pin Pin Name Description
1 PGND The PGND pin is the high current ground pin for the lowside MOSFET and the drivers. The pin should be
soldered to a large copper area to reduce thermal resistance.
2 FB Inverting input to the Operational Transconductance Amplifier (OTA). The FB pin in conjunction with the
external compensation, serves to stabilize and achieve the desired output voltage with voltage mode
control.
3 COMP COMP pin is used to compensate the OTA which stabilizes the operation of the converter stage. Place
compensation components as close to the converter as possible.
4 AGND The AGND pin serves as smallsignal ground. All smallsignal ground paths should connect to the AGND
pin at a single point, avoiding any high current ground returns.
5 BST Supply rail for the floating top gate driver. To form a boost circuit, use an external diode to bring the desired
input voltage to this pin (cathode connected to BST pin). Connect a capacitor (CBST) between this pin and
the VSW pin. Typical values for CBST range from 1 nF to 10 nF. Ensure that CBST is placed near the IC.
6 VIN The VIN pin powers the internal control circuitry and is monitored by an undervoltage comparator. The VIN
pin is also connected to the internal power NMOSFET switches. The VIN pin has high dI/dt edges and must
be decoupled to PGND pin close to the pin of the device.
7 ISET Current set pin and bottom gate MOSFET driver. Place a resistor to ground to set the current limit of the
converter.
8 VSW The VSW pin is the connection of the drain and source of the internal NMOSFETs. The VSW 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.
