DESCRIPTION
The MPQ8636 is a fully-integrated, high-
frequency, synchronous, rectified, step-down,
switch-mode converter. It offers a very compact
solution to achieve 10A/20A output current over a
wide input supply range, with excellent load and
line regulation. The MPQ8636 operates at high
efficiency over a wide output-current–load range.
The MPQ8636 uses Constant-On-Time (COT)
control to provide a fast transient response and
ease loop stabilization.
An external resistor programs the operating
frequency from 200kHz to 1MHz, and the
frequency keeps nearly constant as input
supply
varies
with
the
feed-forward
compensation.
The default under-voltage lockout threshold is
internally set at 4.1V, but a resistor network on
the enable pin can increase this threshold. The
soft-start pin controls the output-voltage startup
ramp. An open-drain power-good signal
indicates that the output is within nominal
voltage range.
It has fully-integrated protection features that
include over-current protection, over-voltage
protection and thermal shutdown.
The MPQ8636 requires a minimal number of
readily-available standard external components
and is available in a 16-Pin QFN 3mm×4mm or a
29-Pin QFN 5mm×4mm package.
