DESCRIPTION
The MP38894 is a monolithic step-down switch
mode converter with a built in internal power
MOSFET. It achieves 4.5A continuous output
current over a wide input supply range with
excellent load and line regulation.
Current mode operation provides fast transient
response and eases loop stabilization.
Fault condition protection includes cycle-by-cycle
current limiting and thermal shutdown.
The MP38894 requires a minimum number of
readily available standard external components
and is available in an 8-pin SOIC package with
exposed pad.

PIN FUNCTIONS
Pin # Name Description
1 SW Switch Output.
2 BST
Bootstrap. This capacitor is needed to drive the power switch’s gate above the supply
voltage. It is connected between SW and BS pins to form a floating supply across the power
switch driver.
3 VCC BG Driver Bias Supply. Decouple with a 1µF ceramic capacitor.
4 BG Gate Driver Output. Connect this pin to the gate of the synchronous MOSFET.
5 GND
Ground. This pin is the voltage reference for the regulated output voltage. For this reason
care must be taken in its layout. This node should be placed outside of the M2 to C1 ground
path to prevent switching current spikes from inducing voltage noise into the part.
6 FB
Feedback. An external resistor divider from the output to GND, tapped to the FB pin sets
the output voltage. To prevent current limit run away during a short circuit fault condition the
frequency foldback comparator lowers the oscillator frequency when the FB voltage is
below 250mV.
7 EN/SYNC On/Off Control and External Frequency Synchronization Input.
8 IN
Supply Voltage. The MP38894 operates from a +4.5V to +42V unregulated input. C1 is
needed to prevent large voltage spikes from appearing at the input.
