DESCRIPTION
The MP2227 is an internally compensated
1.3MHz fixed frequency PWM synchronous
step-down regulator. MP2227 operates from a
3V to 24V input and generates an adjustable
output voltage from 0.8V to 0.9xV
IN
at up to 3A
load current.
The MP2227 integrates a 160mΩ high-side
switch and an 80mΩ synchronous rectifier for
high efficiency without an external Schottky
diode. With peak current mode control and
internal compensation, it is stable with an
output ceramic capacitor and a small inductor.
Fault protection includes hiccup short-circuit
protection, cycle-by-cycle current limiting and
thermal shutdown. Other features include
frequency synchronization and soft-start.
The MP2227 is available in a small 3mm x 3mm
10-lead QFN package.
