External Bootstrap Diode
An external bootstrap diode may enhance the
efficiency of the regulator. The applicable
conditions of external BST diode are:
z V
OUT
=5V or 3.3V; and
z Duty cycle is high: D=

>65%
In these cases, an external BST diode is
recommended from the output of the voltage
regulator to BST pin, as shown in Figure.5

Output Voltage Tracking and Sequencing
The MP38876 allows the user to program how
its output voltage ramps during startup by
means of the SS pin. Through this pin, the
output voltage can be set to either
coincidentally or rationally track another output
voltage, as shown below.

Two Phase Operation
The MP38876 can be configured as a two-phase
interleaving regulator to provide up to 30A load
current. The current balance is automatically
achieved by connecting the two COMP pins
together. See Figure 7 for detail configurations.
