DESCRIPTION

The MP1593 is a step-down regulator with an

internal Power MOSFET. It achieves 3A

continuous output current over a wide input

supply range with excellent load and line

regulation.

Current mode operation provides fast transient

response and eases loop stabilization.

Fault condition protection includes cycle-by-cycle

current limiting and thermal shutdown. Adjustable

soft-start reduces the stress on the input source

at turn-on. In shutdown mode the regulator draws

The MP1593 requires a minimum number of

readily

available

external

components

to

complete a 3A step down DC to DC converter

solution.
