NCV51411
1.5 A, 260 kHz, Low Voltage
Buck Regulator with
Synchronization Capability
The NCV51411 is a 1.5 A buck regulator IC operating at a
fixed−frequency of 260 kHz. The device uses the V
2
t
control
architecture to provide unmatched transient response, the best overall
regulation and the simplest loop compensation for today’s high−speed
logic. The NCV51411 accommodates input voltages from 4.5 V to
40 V and contains synchronization circuitry.
The on−chip NPN transistor is capable of providing a minimum of
1.5 A of output current, and is biased by an external “boost” capacitor
to ensure saturation, thus minimizing on−chip power dissipation.
Protection circuitry includes thermal shutdown, cycle−by−cycle
current limiting and frequency foldback. The NCV51411 is
functionally pin−compatible with the LT1375.

FUNCTION
The BOOST pin provides additional drive voltage to the on−chip NPN power transist-
or. The resulting decrease in switch on voltage increases efficiency.
This pin is the main power input to the IC.
This is the connection to the emitter of the on−chip NPN power transistor and serves
as the switch output to the inductor. This pin may be subjected to negative voltages
during switch off−time. A catch diode is required to clamp the pin voltage in normal
operation. This node can stand
−1.0
V for less than 50 ns during switch node flyback.
Shutdown_bar input. This is an active−low logical input, TTL compatible, with an in-
ternal pull−up current source. The IC goes into sleep mode, drawing less than 85
mA
when the pin voltage is pulled below 1.0 V. This pin may be left floating in applications
where a shutdown function is not required.
This pin provides the synchronization input.
Power return connection for the IC.
The FB pin provides input to the inverting input of the error amplifier. If V
FB
is lower
than 0.29 V, the oscillator frequency is divided by four, and current limit folds back to
about 1 ampere. These features protect the IC under severe overcurrent or short cir-
cuit conditions.
The V
C
pin provides a connection point to the output of the error amplifier and input to
the PWM comparator. Driving of this pin should be avoided because on−chip test
circuitry becomes active whenever current exceeding 0.5 mA is forced into the IC.
