Dual Mode PWM/Linear
BUCK Converter
The NCP1500 is a dual mode converter that operates as either a
pulse width modulated (PWM) buck converter or as a linear regulator.
The converter automatically transitions between the two modes. The
converter operates as a PWM when a synchronization signal is present
at the sync input. The converter operates as a linear regulator in the
absence of a synchronization signal. The PWM mode offers excellent
performance at normal to heavy loads at the sacrifice of output ripple
voltage. The linear mode offers excellent noise rejection at the
sacrifice of system efficiency. The user is able to select which mode
will give the best performance for a given operating condition.
Internal protection features include thermal shutdown with hysteresis
and cycle−by−cycle current limit in the PWM mode. Additionally, the
converter transitions into PFM mode at very light loads if a
synchronization signal is present and an output overvoltage condition
is detected.

PIN FUNCTION DESCRIPTIONS
Pin # Symbol Pin Description
1 SHD Device is placed in shutdown when SHD is driven low. In shutdown mode, the internal MOSFET and output
are turned off. Driven to high for normal operation. This pin is floating internally and needs to be tied to a
fixed source externally.
2 SYN External Synchronization Clock Signal Input. If a clock signal is present at this pin, the device will go into
PWM mode. If SYN is driven low, the device operates in linear mode.
3 V
O
Connected to internal voltage divider for feedback.
4 LX Pin for the connection between the drain of the internal P−MOSFET and the external inductor.
5 V
IN
Voltage Supply Input. Bypass with 10 F capacitor.
6 GND Ground.
7 CB1 Control Bit 1 Input for output voltage level selection. Internally pulled low.
8 CB0 Control Bit 0 Input for output voltage level selection. Internally pulled low.
