GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The MP1567 is a 1.2A, 800KHz DC to DC

converter designed for low voltage applications

requiring high efficiency. Capable of providing

output voltages as low as 0.9V from a 3.3V

supply voltage, the MP1567 eliminates the

need for a 5V rail, providing over 90% efficiency

via synchronous rectification and eliminating

heat issues in confined spaces. Soft-start

operation protects internal circuitry from hard

turn on issues. Switching at 800KHz reduces

the size of external components and thereby

reduces board space.

The MP1567 includes cycle-by-cycle current

limiting and under voltage lockout. Internal

power switches combined with the tiny 10-pin

MSOP or QFN packages provide a solution

requiring a minimum of space.
