15.5 Pinning
16 MP2012 (U176)
17 General description
The MP2012 is a fully integrated, internally compensated 1.2MHz fixed frequency PWM
step-down converter. It is ideal for powering portable equipment that runs from a single
cell Lithium-Ion (Li+) Battery, with an input range from 2.7V to 6V. The MP2012 can
provide up to 1.5A of load current with output voltage as low as 0.8V. It can also operate
at 100% duty cycle for low dropout applications. With peak current mode control and
internal compensation, the MP2012 is stable with ceramic capacitors and small inductors.
Fault condition protection includes cycle-by-cycle current limiting and thermal shutdown.
