MP4459
1.5A, 4MHz, 36V
Step-Down Converter
The Future of Analog IC Technology
DESCRIPTION
The MP4459 is a high frequency step-down
switching regulator with an integrated internal
high-side high voltage power MOSFET. It
provides 1.5A output with current mode control
for fast loop response and easy compensation.
The wide 3.8V to 36V input range
accommodates a variety of step-down
applications, including those in automotive
systems. A 120µA operational quiescent current
is suitable for use in battery-powered
applications.
The frequency foldback helps prevent inductor
current runaway during startup and thermal
shutdown provides reliable, fault tolerant
operation.
In some applications, such as AM radio and
ADSL applications, in which the device is
sensitive to frequency band, the MP4459 can
avoid the related EMI problem by setting the
frequency at 4MHz.
The MP4459 is available in thin 10-pin 3mm x 3mm
TQFN package.
