PIN FUNCTIONS
Pin # Name Description
1 BS
High-Side Gate Drive Boost Input. BS supplies the drive for the high-side N-Channel MOSFET
switch. Connect a 10nF or greater capacitor from SW to BS to power the high-side switch.
2 IN
Power Input. IN supplies power to the IC. Drive IN with a 4.75V to 28V power source. Bypass IN
to GND with a suitably large capacitor to eliminate noise on the input to the IC. See Input
Capacitor.
3 SW
Power Switching Output. SW is the switching node that supplies power to the output. Connect
the output LC filter from SW to the output load. Note that a capacitor is required from SW to BS
to power the high-side switch.
4 GND Ground. Note: Connect the exposed pad to Pin 4.
5 FB
Feedback Input. FB senses the output voltage and regulates it. Drive FB with a resistive voltage
divider from the output voltage to ground. The feedback threshold is 1.222V. See Setting the
Output Voltage.
6 COMP
Compensation Node. COMP is used to compensate the regulation control loop. Connect a series
RC network from COMP to GND. In some cases, an additional capacitor from COMP to GND is
required. See Compensation.
7 EN
Enable Input. EN is a digital input that turns the regulator on or off. Drive EN high to turn on the
regulator; low to turn it off. An Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO) function can be implemented by
the addition of a resistor divider from V
IN
to GND. For complete low current shutdown the EN pin
voltage needs to be less than 1.5V. For automatic startup leave EN disconnected.
8 SS
Soft-Start Control Input. SS controls the soft-start period. Connect a capacitor from SS to GND
to set the soft-start period. A 0.1μF capacitor sets the soft-start period to 10ms. To disable the
soft-start feature, leave SS disconnected.

Figure 1—Functional Block Diagram
The MP1593 is a current-mode step-down
regulator. It regulates input voltages from 4.75V to
28V down to an output voltage as low as 1.22V,
and is able to supply up to 3A of continuous load
current.
The MP1593 uses current-mode control to
regulate the output voltage. The output voltage
is measured at FB through a resistive voltage
divider and amplified through the internal error
amplifier. The output current of the
transconductance error amplifier is presented at
COMP where a network compensates the
regulation control system. The voltage at COMP
is compared to the internally measured switch
current to control the output voltage.
The converter uses an internal N-Channel
MOSFET switch to step-down the input voltage
to the regulated output voltage. Since the
MOSFET requires a gate voltage greater than
the input voltage, a boost capacitor connected
between SW and BS drives the gate. The
capacitor is internally charged when SW is low.
An internal 10 switch from SW to GND is used
to insure that SW is pulled to GND when it is
low to fully charge the BS capacitor.
