DESCRIPTION
The MP1430 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 20µA of supply current.
The MP1430 requires a minimum number of readily available external components to complete a 3A step down DC to DC converter solution.
