Microchip Technology Inc., has
launched the MCP16301-
Microchip's first 30V-input,
buck switching regulator with 600mA
output capability. The MCP16301
features a wide input
voltage range, from 4V
to 30V, an output
voltage range from 2V
to 15V and provides up
to 95 percent
efficiency. The 600mA
MCP16301 is offered
in a 6-pin SOT-23
package with an integrated high-side
switch, and requires a minimal
number of external components. It is
ideal for applications in the industrial,
telecommunications, consumer and
automotive markets, such as set-top
boxes, LED lighting, HVAC systems
and power meters.
The MCP16301 provides an efficient
and compact solution for stepping
down 12V to 24V DC
power rails, for use
with PICĀ®
microcontrollers and
other low-voltage
devices in a wide range
of applications. The
high-speed peak
current mode control
allows fast responses to sudden inputvoltage
and load transients
encountered in power applications.
