Description
The MCP16323 is a highly integrated, high-efficiency,
fixed frequency, synchronous step-down DC-DC
converter in a 16-pin QFN package that operates from
input voltages up to 18V. Integrated features include a
high-side and low-side N-Channel switch, fixed
frequency Peak Current Mode Control, internal
compensation, peak current limit, V

overvoltage
protection and overtemperature protection. Minimal
external components are necessary to develop a
complete synchronous step-down DC-DC converter
power supply.
High converter efficiency is achieved by integrating a
high-speed, current limited, low resistance, high-side
N-Channel MOSFET, as well as a high-speed, low-
resistance, low-side N-Channel MOSFET and
associated drive circuitry. High switching frequency
minimizes the size of the inductor and output capacitor,
resulting in a small solution size.
The MCP16323 device can supply 3A of continuous
current while regulating the output voltage from 0.9V to
5V. A high-performance peak current mode
architecture keeps the output voltage tightly regulated,
even during input voltage steps and output current
transient conditions that are common in power
supplies.
The regulator can be turned on and off with a logic level
signal applied to the EN input. The EN pin is internally
pulled up to a 4.2V reference and is rated for a
maximum of 6V. With EN low, typically 5 µA of current
is consumed from the input, making the part ideal for
power shedding and load distribution applications. The
PG output is an open-drain output pin used to interface
with other components of the system, and can be
pulled up to a maximum of 6V.
The output voltage can either be fixed at output
voltages of 0.9V, 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, 5V or
adjustable using an external resistor divider. The
MCP16323 is offered in a 3x3 QFN-16 surface mount
package.

Regulator SW pin is forced off for 240 ns every eight cycles to ensure the BOOST cap is replenished.
As a result of the maximum duty cycle limitations, 3A of output current for 5V output conditions may not
regulate the voltage. External component selection may have an impact on this. A minimum input voltage
of 6.5V is recommended.
