4.0 A 280 kHz/560 kHz
Boost Regulators
The NCP1442/3/4/5 products are 280 kHz/560 kHz switching
regulators with a high efficiency, 4.0 A integrated switch. These parts
operate over a wide input voltage range, from 2.7 V to 30 V. The
flexibility of the design allows the chips to operate in most power
supply configurations, including boost, flyback, forward, inverting,
and SEPIC. The ICs utilize current mode architecture, which allows
excellent load and line regulation, as well as a practical means for
limiting current. Combining high−frequency operation with a highly
integrated regulator circuit results in an extremely compact power
supply solution. The circuit design includes provisions for features
such as frequency synchronization, shutdown, and feedback controls
for either positive or negative voltage regulation.

PACKAGE PIN DESCRIPTION
Package Pin Number

Pin Symbol
V
C
Function
Loop compensation pin. The V
C
pin is the output of the error amplifier and is used for loop
compensation, current limit and soft start. Loop compensation can be implemented by a sim-
ple RC network as shown in the application diagram on page 2.
Positive regulator feedback pin. This pin senses a positive output voltage and is referenced to
1.276 V. When the voltage at this pin falls below 0.4 V, chip switching frequency reduces to
20% of the nominal frequency.
These pins are connected to internal test logic and should either be left floating or tied to
ground. Connection to a voltage between 2.0 V and 6.0 V shuts down the internal oscillator
and leaves the power switch running.
Negative feedback pin. This pin senses a negative output voltage and is referenced to
−2.475
V. When the voltage at this pin goes above
−0.65
V, chip switching frequency reduces to 20%
of the nominal frequency.
Ground pin. This pin provides a ground for the controller circuitry and the internal power
switch. This pin is internally connected to the metal pad of the package to provide an addition-
al ground connection as well as an effective means of dissipating heat.
High current switch pin. This pin connects internally to the collector of the power switch. The
open voltage across the power switch can be as high as 40 V. To minimize radiation, use a
trace as short as practical.
Synchronization and shutdown pin. This pin may be used to synchronize the part to nearly
twice the base frequency. A TTL low will shut the part down and put it into low current mode.
If synchronization is not used, this pin should be either tied high or left floating for normal
operation.
Input power supply pin. This pin supplies power to the part and should have a bypass capaci-
tor connected to GND.
