NCP3170
Synchronous PWM
Switching Converter
The NCP3170 is a flexible synchronous PWM Switching Buck
Regulator. The NCP3170 operates from 4.5 V to 18 V, sourcing up to
3 A and is capable of producing output voltages as low as 0.8 V.
The NCP3170 also incorporates current mode control. To reduce the
number of external components, a number of features are internally set
including soft start, power good detection, and switching frequency.
The NCP3170 is currently available in an SOIC−8 package.

Description
The power ground pin is the high current path for the device. The pin should be soldered to a large copper
area to reduce thermal resistance. PGND needs to be electrically connected to AGND.
The input voltage pin powers the internal control circuitry and is monitored by multiple voltage comparators.
The VIN pin is also connected to the internal power PMOS switch and linear regulator output. The VIN pin
has high di/dt edges and must be decoupled to ground close to the pin of the device.
The
analog ground
pin serves as small-signal ground. All small-signal ground paths should connect to the
AGND
pin and should also be electrically connected to power ground at a single point, avoiding any high
current ground returns.
Inverting input to the OTA error amplifier. The FB pin in conjunction with the external compensation serves to
stabilize and achieve the desired output voltage with current mode compensation.
The loop compensation pin is used to compensate the transconductance amplifier which stabilizes the
operation of the converter stage. Place compensation components as close to the converter as possible.
Connect a RC network between COMP and AGND to compensate the control loop.
Enable pin. Pull EN to logic high to enable the device. Pull EN to logic low to disable the device. Do not leave
it open.
Power good is an open drain 500
mA
pull down indicating output voltage is within the power good window. If
the power good function is not used, it can be connected to the VSW node to reduce thermal resistance. Do
not connect PG to the VSW node if the application is turning on into pre-bias.
The VSW pin is the connection of the drains of the internal N and P MOSFETS. At switch off, the inductor will
drive this pin below ground as the body diode and the NMOS conducts with a high dv/dt.
