NCP1522B
Buck Converter - DC-DC
3 MHz, 600 mA
The NCP1522B step−down DC−DC converter is a monolithic integrated circuit optimized for portable applications powered from one
cell Li−Ion or three cell Alkaline/NiCd/NiMH batteries. The part,
available in adjustable output voltage versions ranging from 0.9 V to
3.3 V, is able to deliver up to 600 mA. It uses synchronous rectification
to increase efficiency and reduce external part count. The device also
has a built−in 3 MHz (nominal) oscillator which reduces component size by allowing smaller inductors and capacitors. Automatic switching
PWM/PFM mode offers improved system efficiency.
Additional features include integrated soft−start, cycle−by−cycle
current limiting and thermal shutdown protection.
