MP3421
5.5A, 600kHz High-Efficiency, Synchronous Step-Up Converter with True Output Disconnect
in a 2mmx2mm QFN Package
DESCRIPTION
The MP3421 is a high-efficiency, synchronous, current–mode, step-up converter with true output disconnect.
The MP3421 starts up from low input voltage (as low as 1.9V) while providing in-rush current limiting and output short-circuit protection. The integrated, P-channel synchronous rectifier improves efficiency and eliminates the need for an external Schottky diode; the P-channel disconnects the output load from the input during shutdown.
The MP3421 has 600kHz switching frequency, which accommodates small external components. In addition, its internal compensation and soft-start functions minimize external component count.
