The NCP1529 step-down DC-DC converter is a monolithic integrated circuit for portable applications powered from one cell Li-ion or three cell Alkaline/NiCd/NiMH batteries. The device is able to deliver up to 1.0 A on an output range externally adjustable from 0.9 V to 3.9 V or fixed at 1.2 V or 1.35 V.It uses synchronous rectification to increase efficiency and reduce external part count. The device also has a built-in 1.7 MHz (nominal) oscillator which reduces component size by allowing a small inductor and capacitors. Automatic switching PWM/PFM mode offers improved system efficiency.Additional features include integrated soft-start, cycle-by-cycle current limiting and thermal shutdown protection. The NCP1529 is available in a space saving, low profile 2x2x0.5 mm UDFN6 package and TSOP-5 package.

The NCP154 is 300 mA, Dual Output Linear Voltage Regulator that offers two independent input pins and provides a very stable and accurate voltage with ultra low noise and very high Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR) suitable for RF applications. The device doesn’t require any additional noise bypass capacitor to achieve ultra low noise performance. In order to optimize performance for batteryoperated portable applications, the NCP154 employs the Adaptive Ground Current Feature for low ground current consumption during light-load conditions.

The NCP1546 is a 1.5 A buck regulator IC operating at a fixed frequency of 170 kHz. The device employs the V2™ control architecture to provide unmatched transient response, the best overall regulation and the simplest loop compensation. The NCV8842 accommodates input voltages from 4.0 V to 40 V and contains synchronization circuitry. The on-chip NPN transistor is capable of providing a minimum of 1.5 A of output current and is biased by an external boost capacitor to ensure saturation, thus minimizing on-chip power dissipation. Protection circuitry includes thermal shutdown, cycle-by-cycle current limiting and frequency foldback short-circuit protection.

The NCP156 is Dual Output Linear Voltage Regulator optimized for camera module application. The device offers unique combination of High Current Low Voltage Bias Rail Topology for supplying digital block and very precise second output for powering analog sensor block. This combination allows achieving the best performance and power efficiency.

The NCP1562x is a family of voltage mode controllers designed for dc-dc converters requiring high efficiency and low parts count. These controllers incorporate two in phase outputs with an overlap delay to prevent simultaneous conduction and facilitates soft switching. The main output is designed for driving a forward converter primary MOSFET. The secondary output is designed for driving an active clamp circuit MOSFET, a synchronous rectifier on the secondary side, or an asymmetric half bridge circuit. The NCP1562 family reduces component count and system size by incorporating high accuracy on critical specifications such as maximum duty cycle limit, undervoltage detector and overcurrent threshold. Two distinctive features of the NCP1562 are soft-stop and a cycle skip current limit with a time threshold. Softstop circuitry powers down the converter in a controlled manner if a severe fault is detected. The cycle skip detector enables a softstop sequence if a continuous overcurrent condition is present. Additional features found in the NCP1562 include line feedforward, frequency synchronization up to 1.0 MHz, cycle by cycle current limit with leading edge blanking (LEB), independent under and overvoltage detectors, adjustable output overlap delay, programmable maximum duty cycle, internal startup circuit and soft-start.
