MP1484 3A, 18V, 340KHz Synchronous Rectified Step-Down Converter The Future of Analog IC Technology DESCRIPTION FEATURES The MP1484 is a monolithic synchronous buck 3A Continuous Output Current regulator. The device integrates top and bottom Wide 4.75V to 18V Operating Input Range 85m MOSFETS that provide 3A of continuous Integrated 85m Power MOSFET Switches load current over a wide operating input voltage Output Adjustable from 0.925V to 20V of 4.75V to 18V. Current mode control provides Up to 95% Efficiency fast transient response and cycle-by-cycle Programmable Soft-Start current limit. Stable with Low ESR Ceramic Output Capacitors An adjustable soft-start prevents inrush current Fixed 340KHz Frequency at turn-on and in shutdown mode, the supply Cycle-by-Cycle Over Current Protection current drops below 1A. Input Under Voltage Lockout Thermally Enhanced 8-Pin SOIC Package The MP1484 is PIN compatible to the MP1482 2A/18V/Synchronous Step-Down Converter.
