MP1495
High Efficiency 3A, 16V, 500kHz
Synchronous Step Down Converter
The Future of Analog IC Technology
DESCRIPTION
The MP1495 is a high-frequency, synchronous,
rectified, step-down, switch-mode converter
with built-in power MOSFETs. It offers a very
compact solution to achieve a 3A continuous
output current with excellent load and line
regulation over a wide input supply range. The
MP1495 has synchronous mode operation for
higher efficiency over the output current load
range.
Current-mode operation provides fast transient
response and eases loop stabilization.
Full protection features include over-current
protection and thermal shut down.
The MP1495 requires a minimal number of
readily-available standard external components,
and is available in a space-saving 8-pin
TSOT23 package.
