DESCRIPTION

The

MP8606

is

a

fully-integrated,

high-

frequency, synchronous, rectified step-down

switch-mode converter. It offers a very compact

solution to achieve 6A of continuous output

current from a 2.9V-to-6.5V input with excellent

load and line regulation.

The advanced PWM scheme provides fast

transient response and eases loop stabilization.

The MP8606 integrates a 14m

Ω high-side

switch and an 8m

Ω low-side synchronous

switch for high efficiency without an external

Schottky diode. Fault protections include peak

current limiting, hiccup over-current protection,

and thermal shutdown. It also has a power-

good output.

The MP8606 requires a minimal number of

readily available standard external components

and is available in a 3mmx4mm flip-chip QFN

package.
