Product Overview

The NCP1580 is a Texas Instruments synchronous buck controller for Power_Management designs using external N-channel MOSFETs. It uses voltage mode PWM control with an internal fixed oscillator specified at 350 kHz typical and a 0.8 V internal reference. The device supports regulation down to 0.8 V and includes an example 12 V input application producing 1.0 V at 20 A.

Supply operation is specified across 4.5-13.2 V on VCC, while the bootstrap operating range is specified up to 26.5 V. The BST pin supplies the floating top gate driver and is used with a 0.1-1 uF boost capacitor between BST and PHASE. A 1 uF VCC decoupling capacitor is specified from VCC to GND near the IC.

The controller is offered in an 8-pin SOIC package, D suffix, Case 751. Protection and operating limits include input UVLO, thermal shutdown, an operating ambient range of -40 to 85 °C, and an operating junction range of -40 to 150 °C. When UVLO is reached, switching stops, soft-start discharges, and all gate pins go low.
