DESCRIPTION

The MP8725 is a high frequency synchronous

rectified step-down switch mode converter with

built in internal power MOSFETs. It offers a

very compact solution to achieve 5A continuous

output current over a wide input supply range

with excellent load and line regulation. The

MP8725 operates at high efficiency over a wide

output current load range.

Current mode operation provides fast transient

response and eases loop stabilization.

Full protection features include OCP and thermal

shut down.

The MP8725 requires a minimum number of

readily available standard external components

and is available in a space saving 3mm x 4mm

14-pin QFN package.
