OPERATION

The

MP2565

is

a

variable

frequency,

non-synchronous,

step-down

switching

regulator with an integrated high-side high

voltage power MOSFET. It provides a single

highly efficient solution with current mode

control for fast loop response and easy

compensation. It features a wide input voltage

range, internal soft-start control and precision

current limiting. Its very low operational

quiescent current makes it suitable for battery

powered applications.

PWM Control

At moderate to high output current, the MP2565

operates in a fixed frequency, peak current

control mode to regulate the output voltage. A

PWM cycle is initiated by the internal clock. The

power MOSFET is turned on and remains on

until its current reaches the value set by the

COMP voltage. When the power switch is off, it

remains off for at least 100ns before the next

cycle starts. If, in one PWM period, the current

in the power MOSFET does not reach the

COMP set current value, the power MOSFET

remains on, saving a turn-off operation.
