DESCRIPTION

The MP8760 is a fully-integrated, high-

frequency, synchronous, rectified, step-down,

switch-mode converter. It offers a very compact

solution to achieve a 6A output current over a

wide input-supply range with excellent load and

line regulation. The MP8760 operates at high

efficiency over a wide output-current load range.

The MP8760 uses Constant-On-Time (COT)

control mode to provide fast transient response

and ease loop stabilization.

An external resistor programs the operating

frequency

from

200kHz

to

1MHz.

The

frequency stays nearly constant as the input

supply

varies

with

the

feed-forward

compensation.

The default under voltage lockout threshold is

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 full integrated protection features that

include over-current protection, over-voltage

protection and thermal shutdown.

The MP8760 is available in a 3mm×4mm QFN

package, and requires a minimal number of

readily-available components.
