NCP3101C
Wide Input Voltage
Synchronous Buck Converter
The NCP3101C is a high efficiency, 6 A DC−DC buck converter
designed to operate from a 5 V to 12 V supply. The device is capable
of producing an output voltage as low as 0.8 V. The NCP3101C can
continuously output 6 A through MOSFET switches driven by an
internally set 275 kHz oscillator. The 40−pin device provides an
optimal level of integration to reduce size and cost of the power
supply. The NCP3101C also incorporates an externally compensated
transconductance error amplifier and a capacitor programmable
soft−start function. Protection features include programmable short
circuit protection and input under voltage lockout (UVLO). The
NCP3101C is available in a 40−pin QFN package.

Description
Power phase node (PWRPHS). Drain of the low side power MOSFET.
Power ground. High current return for the low−side power MOSFET. Connect
PWRGND with large copper areas to the input and output supply returns, and
negative terminals of the input and output capacitors.
Supply rail for the internal circuitry. Operating supply range is 4.5 V to 13.2 V.
Decouple with a 1
mF
capacitor to GND. Ensure that this decoupling capacitor is
placed near the IC.
IC ground reference. All control circuits are referenced to these pins.
The inverting input pin to the error amplifier. Use this pin in conjunction with the
COMP pin to compensate the voltage−control feedback loop. Connect this pin to the
output resistor divider (if used) or directly to output voltage.
Compensation or disable pin. The output of the error amplifier (EA) and the
non−inverting input of the PWM comparator. Use this pin in conjunction with the FB
pin to compensate the voltage−control feedback loop. The compensation capacitor
also acts as a soft start capacitor. Pull the pin below 400 mV to disable controller.
Not Connected. The pin can be connected to AGND or not connected.
High side MOSFET driver output.
The controller phase sensing for short circuit protection.
Supply rail for the floating top gate driver. To form a boost circuit, use an external
diode to bring the desired input voltage to this pin (cathode connected to BST pin).
Connect a capacitor (C
BST
) between this pin and the CPHS pin.
High side MOSFET gate.
Input supply pin for the high side MOSFET. Connect VCCPWR to the VCC pin or
power separately for split rail application..
The current limit set pin.

Stresses exceeding Maximum Ratings may damage the device. Maximum Ratings are stress ratings only. Functional operation above the
Recommended Operating Conditions is not implied. Extended exposure to stresses above the Recommended Operating Conditions may affect
device reliability.
NOTE: These devices have limited built−in ESD protection. The devices should be shorted together or the device placed in conductive
foam during storage or handling to prevent electrostatic damage to the device.
