NCV8843
1.5 A, 340 kHz, Buck
Regulator with
Synchronization Capability
The NCV8843 is a 1.5 A buck regulator IC operating at a
fixedfrequency of 340 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 highspeed
logic. The NCV8843 accommodates input voltages from 4.0 V to 40 V
and contains synchronization circuitry.
The onchip 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 onchip power dissipation.
Protection circuitry includes thermal shutdown, cyclebycycle
current limiting and frequency foldback.

PIN SYM-
BOL
FUNCTION
1 15 1 BOOST The BOOST pin provides additional drive voltage to the onchip NPN power tran-
sistor. The resulting decrease in switch on voltage increases efficiency.
2 16 24 V
IN
This pin is the main power input to the IC.
3 1 57 V
SW
This is the connection to the emitter of the onchip NPN power transistor and
serves as the switch output to the inductor. This pin may be subjected to negative
voltages during switch offtime. A catch diode is required to clamp the pin voltage
in normal operation. This node can stand 1.0 V for less than 50 ns during switch
node flyback.
4 2 8 SHDNB The shutdown pin is active low and TTL compatible. The IC goes into sleep mode,
drawing less than 1.0 mA when the pin voltage is pulled below 1.0 V.
This pin should be pulled up to V
CC
with resistor.
5 7 10
SYNC External synchronization single input, with 60k internal pulldown resistor. If not
used, leave unconnected or connect to GND.
6 8 13 GND Power return connection for the IC.
7 9 16 V
FB
The FB pin provides input to the inverting input of the error amplifier. If V
FB
is lower
than 0.29 V, the oscillator frequency is divided by four, and current limit folds back
to about 1 A. These features protect the IC under severe overcurrent or short cir-
cuit conditions.
8 10 17 V
C
The V
C
pin provides a connection point to the output of the error amplifier and
input to the PWM comparator. Driving of this pin should be avoided because on
chip test circuitry becomes active whenever current exceeding 0.5 mA is forced
into the IC.
