DESCRIPTION
The MP2355 is a step-down regulator with a
built in internal Power MOSFET. It achieves 3A
continuous output current over a wide input
supply range with excellent load and line
regulation.
Current mode operation provides fast transient
response and eases loop stabilization. Fault
condition
protection
includes
current limiting and thermal shutdown. Adjustable
soft-start reduces the stress on the input source
at turn-on. In shutdown mode the regulator draws
20μA of supply current.
cycle-by-cycle
The MP2355 uses a minimum number of
readily available external components to
complete a 3A step-down DC to DC converter
solution.
