DESCRIPTION

The MP4459 is a high frequency step-down

switching regulator with an integrated internal

high-side high voltage power MOSFET. It

provides 1.5A output with current mode control

for fast loop response and easy compensation.

The

wide

3.8V

to

36V

input

range

accommodates

a

variety

of

step-down

applications, including those in automotive

systems. A 120µA operational quiescent current

is

suitable

for

use

in

battery-powered

applications.

The frequency foldback helps prevent inductor

current runaway during startup and thermal

shutdown

provides

reliable,

fault

tolerant

operation.

In some applications, such as AM radio and

ADSL applications, in which the device is

sensitive to frequency band, the MP4459 can

avoid the related EMI problem by setting the

frequency at 4MHz.

The MP4459 is available in thin 10-pin 3mm x 3mm

TQFN package.
