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 DCDC 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 stepdown, stepup, or
voltageinverting 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.

PIN FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
SOIC16 DFN18 PIN NAME DESCRIPTION
1 15 LVI Output This pin will sink current when FB1 and FB2 are less than the LVI threshold (V
th
).
2 16 Voltage Feedback 2 Connecting this pin to a resistor divider off of the output will regulate the application
according to the V
out
design equation in Figure 22.
3 17 Voltage Feedback 1 Connecting this pin directly to the output will regulate the device to 5.05 V.
4 18 GND Ground pin for all internal circuits and power switch.
6 1 Timing Capacitor Connect a capacitor to this pin to set the frequency. The addition of a parallel resist-
or will decrease the maximum duty cycle and increase the frequency.
