General Description:
The MCP16311/2 is a compact, high-efficiency, fixed
frequency, synchronous step-down DC-DC converter
in a 8-pin MSOP, or 2 x 3 TDFN package that operates
from input voltage sources up to 30V. Integrated
features include a high-side and a low-side switch,
fixed frequency Peak Current Mode Control, internal
compensation, peak-current limit and overtemperature
protection. The MCP16311/2 provides all the active
functions for local DC-DC conversion, with fast
transient response and accurate regulation.
High-converter efficiency is achieved by integrating
the current-limited, low-resistance, high-speed lowside and high-side switches, and associated drive
circuitry. The MCP16311 is capable of running in
PWM/PFM mode. It switches in PFM mode for light
load conditions and for large buck conversion ratios.
This results in a higher efficiency over all load ranges.
The MCP16312 is running in PWM mode-only, and is
recommended for noise-sensitive applications.
The MCP16311/2 can supply up to 1Aof continuous
current while regulating the output voltage from 2V to
12V. An integrated, high-performance peak current
mode architecture keeps the output voltage tightly
regulated, even during input voltage steps and output
current transient conditions, that are common in power
systems.
The EN input is used to turn the device on and off.
While off, only a few micro amps of current are
consumed from the input.
Output voltage is set with an external resistor divider.
The MCP16311/2 is offered in a small MSOP-8 and
2 x 3 TDFN surface mount packages.

increase the input voltage necessary for regulation. See characterization graphs for typical input to output

The EN pin is a logic-level input used to enable or

Connect the input voltage source to VIN. The input
source should be decoupled to GND with a
4.7 µF - 20 µF capacitor, depending on the impedance
of the source and output current. The input capacitor
provides current for the switch node and a stable voltage source for the internal device power. This capacitor
should be connected as close as possible to the V

X7R or X5R ceramic capacitor can be used.

This is a separate ground connection used for the lowside synchronous switch.The length of the trace from
