XRP6124
Non-Synchronous PFET Step-Down Controller
May 2018
Rev. 1.1.1
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XRP6124 is a non synchronous step down
(buck) controller for up to 5Amps point of
loads. A wide 3V to 30V input voltage range
allows for single supply operations from
industry standard 3.3V, 5V, 12V and 24V
power rails.
With a proprietary Constant On-Time (COT)
control scheme, the XRP6124 provides
extremely fast line and load transient response
while the operating frequency remains nearly
constant. It requires no loop compensation
hence simplifying circuit implementation and
reducing overall component count. The
XRP76124 also implements an emulated ESR
circuitry allowing usage of ceramic output
capacitors and insuring stable operations
without the use of extra external components.
Built-in soft start prevents high inrush currents
while under voltage lock-out and output short
protections insure safe operations under
abnormal operating conditions.
The XRP6124 is available in a RoHS compliant,
green/halogen free space-saving 5-pin SOT23
package.

Feedback pin
Gate Pin. Connect to gate of PFET. This pin pulls the gate of the PFET approximately
6V below Vin in order to turn on the FET. For 6V>VIN>3V the gate pulls to within 0.4V
of ground. Therefore a PFET with a gate rating of 2.6V or lower should be used.
