DESCRIPTION
The MP2365 is a 1.4MHz step-down regulator
with a built-in 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 MP2365 is available in an 8-pin SOIC
package with an exposed pad, and requires a
minimum number of readily available external
components to complete a 3A step-down DC to
DC converter solution.
