MP1586
The Future of Analog IC Technology
3A, 28V, 50kHz to 400kHz
Step-Down Converter
DESCRIPTION
The MP1586 is a high frequency step-down
switching regulator with an integrated internal
high-side high voltage power MOSFET. It
provides 3A output with current mode control for
fast loop response and easy compensation.
The wide 4.5V to 28V input range accommodates
a variety of step-down applications, including
those in an automotive input environment. A
115µA operational quiescent current allows use in
battery-powered applications.
High power conversion efficiency over a wide
load range is achieved by scaling down the
switching frequency at light load condition to
reduce the switching and gate driving losses.
The frequency foldback helps prevent inductor
current runaway during startup and thermal
shutdown provides reliable, fault tolerant
operation.
The MP1586 is available in a thermally enhanced
SOIC8E package.
