DESCRIPTION
The EVM3680-RE-00A is used for
demonstrating the performance of MPS’
MPM3680, a 6A step-down power module with
built-in power MOSFETs and power inductor.
High power efficiency over a wide load range is
achieved by scaling down the switching
frequency at light load to reduce the switching
related loss by constant on time control. Over-
Current-Protection, Over-Voltage Protection,
Under-Voltage Protection, and thermal
shutdown provide reliable operation.
MPM3680 is available in QFN 12x12x4mm
package.
