DESCRIPTION
The MP2115 is a high frequency, current mode,
PWM step-down converter with integrated input
current limit switch. The step-down converter
integrates a main switch and a synchronous
rectifier for high efficiency without an external
Schottky diode. The input average current limit
can be externally programmed. It is ideal for
powering portable equipment that is powered
by an USB port. The MP2115 can supply 2A of
load current from a 2.8V to 6V input voltage.
The output voltage can be regulated as low as
0.6V.
The MP2115 is available in a space-saving
10-pin QFN package.
