NCP3163/D
NCP3163, NCV3163
3.4 A, Step-Up/Down/
Inverting 50-300 kHz
Switching Regulator
The NCP3163 Series is a performance enhancement to the popular
MC33163 and MC34163 monolithic DC−DC converters. These
devices consist of an internal temperature compensated reference,
comparator, controlled duty cycle oscillator with an active current
limit circuit, driver and high current output switch. This controller was
specifically designed to be incorporated in step−down, step−up, or
voltage−inverting applications with a minimum number of external
components. The NCP3163 comes in an exposed pad package which
can greatly increase the power dissipation of the built in power switch.
Features
• Output Switch Current in Excess of 3.0 A
• 3.4 A Peak Switch Current
• Frequency is Adjustable from 50 kHz to 300 kHz
• Operation from 2.5 V to 40 V Input
• Externally Adjustable Operating Frequency
• Precision 2% Reference for Accurate Output Voltage Control
• Driver with Bootstrap Capability for Increased Efficiency
• Cycle−by−Cycle Current Limiting
• Internal Thermal Shutdown Protection
• Low Voltage Indicator Output for Direct Microprocessor Interface
• Exposed Pad Power Package
• Low Standby Current
• NCV Prefix for Automotive and Other Applications Requiring Site
and Change Control
• These are Pb−Free Devices
