DESCRIPTION

The

MP8792

is

a

fully

integrated,

high-

frequency,

synchronous

buck

converter.

It

offers a compact solution to achieve up to 12A

of output current over a wide input supply range

with excellent load and line regulation. The

MP8792 operates at high efficiency over a wide

output current load range.

The MP8792 adopts internally compensated

constant-on-time (COT) control to provide fast

transient response and ease loop stabilization.

The operating frequency can be set to 600kHz,

800kHz, or 1000kHz with MODE configuration,

allowing the MP8792

’s frequency to remain

constant regardless of the input or output

voltages.

The output voltage start-up ramp is controlled

by an internal 1ms timer. It can be increased by

adding a capacitor on TRK/REF. An open-drain

power good (PG) signal indicates whether the

output is within its nominal voltage range. The

PGOOD pin is clamped to about 0.7V by an

external pull-up voltage when the input supply

fails to power the MP8792.

Fully integrated protection features include over-

current protection (OCP), over-voltage protection

(OVP), under-voltage protection (UVP), and over-

temperature protection (OTP).

The MP8792 requires a minimal number of

readily available, standard external components.

It is available in a QFN (3mmx4mm) package.
