MCP1603T-180I/OS Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The MCP1603T-180I/OS from Microchip Technology is a fully-integrated 500mA synchronous buck regulator designed for applications requiring efficient power conversion. It features a fixed 1.8V output voltage and operates at a 2.0 MHz fixed-frequency PWM mode for heavy loads, providing a low noise and low-output ripple solution.

 

This regulator is ideal for battery-powered devices due to its high efficiency (over 90% typical) and low quiescent current (45 µA typical in PFM mode for MCP1603/L variants). It supports a wide input voltage range, making it suitable for 1-cell Li-Ion or 2-cell/3-cell NiMH/NiCd batteries. The device includes Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) and Overtemperature Protection for enhanced reliability.

 

Packaged in a space-saving TSOT-23-5 package, the MCP1603T-180I/OS is designed for surface mount applications. Its integrated design minimizes external component count, contributing to a compact overall solution.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a 500mA output current, 1.8V fixed output, 2.7V input voltage range, and 2MHz switching frequency. The device also offers 100% duty cycle operation and automatic PWM-to-PFM mode transition for MCP1603/L variants, optimizing efficiency across varying load conditions.
