MP1586
The Future of Analog IC Technology
3A, 28V, 50kHz to 400kHz
Step-Down Converter
DESCRIPTION
The MP1586 is a high frequency step-down
switching regulator with an integrated internal
high-side high voltage power MOSFET. It
provides 3A output with current mode control for
fast loop response and easy compensation.
The wide 4.5V to 28V input range accommodates
a variety of step-down applications, including
those in an automotive input environment. A
115µA operational quiescent current allows use in
battery-powered applications.
High power conversion efficiency over a wide
load range is achieved by scaling down the
switching frequency at light load condition to
reduce the switching and gate driving losses.
The frequency foldback helps prevent inductor
current runaway during startup and thermal
shutdown provides reliable, fault tolerant
operation.
The MP1586 is available in a thermally enhanced
SOIC8E package.

Notes:
1) Exceeding these ratings may damage the device.
2) The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the
maximum junction temperature T
J
(MAX), the junction-to-
ambient thermal resistance
θ
JA
, and the ambient temperature
T
A
. The maximum allowable continuous power dissipation at
any ambient temperature is calculated by P
D
(MAX)=(T
J
(MAX)-
T
A
)/
θ
JA
. Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation
will cause excessive die temperature, and the regulator will go
into thermal shutdown. Internal thermal shutdown circuitry
protects the device from permanent damage.
3) The device is not guaranteed to function outside of its
operating conditions.
4) Measured on JESD51-7, 4-layer PCB.

Description
Switch Node. This is the output from the high-side switch. A low forward drop Schottky diode to
ground is required. The diode must be close to the SW pins to reduce switching spikes.
Enable Input. Pulling this pin below the specified threshold shuts the chip down. Pulling it up
above the specified threshold or leaving it floating enables the chip.
Compensation. This node is the output of the error amplifier. Control loop frequency
compensation is applied to this pin.
Feedback. This is the input to the error amplifier. The output voltage is set by a resistive divider
connected between the output and GND which scales down V
OUT
equal to the internal +0.8V
reference.
5
6
7
8
GND
Ground. It should be connected as close as possible to the output capacitor to shorten the high
Exposed
current switch paths. Connect exposed pad to GND plane for optimal thermal performance.
Pad
Switching Frequency Program Input. Connect a resistor from this pin to ground to set the
FREQ
switching frequency.
Input Supply. This supplies power to all the internal control circuitry, both BS regulators and the
VIN
high-side switch. A decoupling capacitor to ground must be placed close to this pin to minimize
switching spikes.
Bootstrap. This is the positive power supply for the internal floating high-side MOSFET driver.
BST
Connect a bypass capacitor between this pin and SW pin.
