Functional Description

4.2.1

STEP-DOWN OR BUCK

CONVERTER

The MCP16301/H devices are non-synchronous

step-down or buck converters, capable of stepping

input voltages ranging from 4V to 30V (MCP16301) or

36V (MCP16301H) down to 2.0V to 15V for VIN >VOUT.

The integrated high-side switch is used to chop or

modulate the input voltage using a controlled duty cycle

for output voltage regulation. High efficiency is

achieved by using a low-resistance switch, low forward

drop diode, low equivalent series resistance (ESR), an

inductor and a capacitor. When the switch is turned on,

a DC voltage is applied to the inductor (VIN –VOUT),

resulting in a positive linear ramp of inductor current.

When the switch turns off, the applied inductor voltage

is equal to -VOUT, resulting in a negative linear ramp of

inductor current (ignoring the forward drop of the

Schottky diode).

For

steady-state,

continuous

inductor

current

operation, the positive inductor current ramp must

equal the negative current ramp in magnitude. While

operating in steady state, the switch duty cycle must be

equal to the relationship of VOUT/VIN for constant

output voltage regulation, under the condition that the

inductor current is continuous or never reaches zero.

For discontinuous inductor current operation, the

steady-state duty cycle will be less than VOUT/VIN to

maintain voltage regulation. The average of the

chopped input voltage or SW node voltage is equal to

the output voltage, while the average of the inductor

current is equal to the output current.
