MP2136
2.5V to 6V Input, 2MHz, 1A
Synchronous Step-Down Converter
The Future of Analog IC Technology
DESCRIPTION
The MP2136 is a 2MHz constant frequency,
current mode, PWM step-down converter with
integrated main switch and synchronous
rectifier that is ideal for powering portable
equipment that runs from a single Li-Ion or Li-
Polymer battery.
The MP2136 can supply up to 1A load current
from a 2.5V to 6V input voltage. The output
voltage can be as low as 0.6V.
Additional features include <1µA shutdown
current, internal soft-start, cycle-by-cycle over
current protection, short circuit protection, and
thermal shutdown.
The MP2136 is available in a 6-pin, QFN6
2mm×2mm package.

Notes:
1) Exceeding these ratings may damage the device.
2) The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the
maximum junction temperature T
J
(MAX), the junction-to-
ambient thermal resistance
θ
JA
, and the ambient temperature
T
A
. The maximum allowable continuous power dissipation at
any ambient temperature is calculated by P
D
(MAX) = (T
J
(MAX)-T
A
)/θ
JA
. Exceeding the maximum allowable power
dissipation will cause excessive die temperature, and the
regulator will go into thermal shutdown. Internal thermal
shutdown circuitry protects the device from permanent
damage.
3) The device is not guaranteed to function outside of its
operating conditions.
4) Measured on JESD51-7, 4-layer PCB.
