At heavy loads, the MCP1603/B/L operates in the
2.0 MHz fixed frequency pulse-width modulation
(PWM) mode, which provides a low noise, low-output
ripple, small-size solution. When the load is reduced to
light levels, the MCP1603/L automatically changes
operation to a Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM)
mode to minimize quiescent current draw from the
battery. No intervention is necessary for a smooth
transition from one mode to another. These two modes
of operation allow the MCP1603/L to achieve the
highest efficiency over the entire operating current
range.
The MCP1603B device disables the PFM mode
switching, and operates only in normal PWM mode
over the entire load range (without skipping).
MCP1603B is for applications that cannot tolerate the
low-frequency output ripple associated with PFM
switching.
The MCP1603/B/L family is available with either an
adjustable or fixed-output voltage. The available fixed
output voltage options for MCP1603/L are 1.2V, 1.5V,
1.8V, 2.5V and 3.3V, and for MCP1603B are 1.8 and
3.3V. When a fixed option is used, only three additional
small external components are needed to form a
complete solution. Couple this with the low profile,
small-foot print packages and the entire system
solution is achieved with minimal size.
Additional protection features include:
overtemperature and overcurrent protection.

The input voltage should be greater then the output voltage plus headroom voltage; higher load currents
increase the input voltage required for regulation. MCP1603B device requires a minimum load for
regulation. See Section 2.0, Typical Performance Curves for typical operating voltage ranges.
Reference Feedback Voltage Tolerance applies to adjustable output voltage setting.
VR is the output voltage setting.
The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of ambient temperature, the maximum allowable
temperature and the thermal resistance from junction to air (i.e. TA, TJ, JA). Exceeding the maximum
allowable power dissipation causes the device to initiate thermal shutdown.
The internal MOSFET switches have an integral diode from the LX pin to the VIN pin, and from the LX pin
to the GND pin. In cases where these diodes are forward-biased, the package power dissipation limits
must be adhered to. Thermal protection is not able to limit the junction temperature for these cases.
The current limit threshold is a cycle-by-cycle peak current limit.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
4.1
Device Overview
The MCP1603/L is a synchronous buck regulator that
operates in a Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM)
mode or a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) mode to
maximize system efficiency over the entire operating
current range. Capable of operating from a 2.7V to
5.5V input voltage source, the MCP1603 can deliver
500 mA of continuous output current.
The MCP1603B device disables the PFM mode
switching, and operates only in normal PWM mode.
When using the MCP1603/B/L, the PCB area required
for a complete step-down converter is minimized, since
both the main P-Channel MOSFET and the synchronous N-Channel MOSFET are integrated. Also while in
PWM mode, the device switches at a constant
frequency of 2.0 MHz (typical), which allows for small
filtering components. Both fixed and adjustable output
voltage options are available. The fixed voltage options
(1.2V, 1.5V 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V) do not require an external
voltage divider, which further reduces the required
circuit board footprint. The adjustable output voltage
options allow for more flexibility in the design, but
require an external voltage divider.
Additionally, the device features an undervoltage lockout (UVLO), overtemperature shutdown, overcurrent
protection and enable/disable control.
4.2
Synchronous Buck Regulator
The MCP1603/L has two distinct modes of operation
that allow the device to maintain a high level of
efficiency throughout the entire operating current and
voltage range. The device automatically switches
between PWM mode and PFM mode, depending on
the output load requirements. MCP1603B switches in
PWM mode only.
4.2.1
PFM/PWM MODE DEVICE OPTION
(MCP1603/L)
During heavy load conditions, the MCP1603/L
operates at a high, fixed switching frequency of
2.0 MHz (typical) using current mode control. This
minimizes output ripple (10 – 15 mV, typically) and
noise, while maintaining high efficiency (88% typical
with VIN = 3.6V, VOUT = 1.8V, IOUT = 300 mA).
 2007-2012 Microchip Technology Inc.
During normal PWM operation, the beginning of a
switching cycle occurs when the internal P-Channel
MOSFET is turned on. The ramping inductor current is
sensed and tied to one input of the internal high-speed
comparator. The other input to the high-speed
comparator is the error amplifier output. This is the
difference between the internal 0.8V reference and the
divided-down output voltage. When the sensed current
becomes equal to the amplified error signal, the highspeed comparator switches states and the P-Channel
MOSFET is turned off. The N-Channel MOSFET is
turned on until the internal oscillator sets an internal RS
latch, initiating the beginning of another switching
cycle.
PFM-to-PWM mode transition is initiated for any of the
following conditions:
• Continuous device switching
• Output voltage has dropped out of regulation
4.2.1.1
Light Load, PFM Mode
During light-load conditions, the MCP1603/L operates
in a PFM mode. When the MCP1603/L enters this
mode, it begins to skip pulses to minimize unnecessary
quiescent-current draw by reducing the number of
switching cycles per second. The typical quiescent current draw for this device is 45 µA.
PWM-to-PFM mode transition is initiated for any of the
following conditions:
• Discontinuous inductor current is sensed for a set
duration
• Inductor peak current falls below the transition
threshold limit
4.2.2
PWM MODE DEVICE OPTION
(MCP1603B)
There are applications that cannot tolerate the low
frequency pulse skipping mode or the output ripple
voltage associated with it, which is distinctive for PFM
switching.
The MCP1603B device has disabled the PFM mode
switching. It operates only in normal PWM mode over
the entire load range (without skipping pulses). During
periods of light load operation, the MCP1603B
continues to operate at a constant 2 MHz switching
frequency, keeping the output ripple voltage lower than
PFM mode. Because there are no skipping pulses, a
minimum load current is necessary to keep output in
regulation (see Figure 2-15, without a minimum load,
the output voltage will be greater than the set point).
The minimum load value depends on the input-tooutput ratio.
DS22042B-page 15
MCP1603/B/L
4.3
Soft Start
The output of the MCP1603 is controlled during startup. This control allows for a very minimal amount of
VOUT overshoot during start-up from VIN rising above
the UVLO voltage or SHDN being enabled.
4.4
Enable/Disable Control
The SHDN pin is used to enable or disable the
MCP1603/B/L. When the SHDN pin is pulled low, the
device is disabled. When pulled high, the device is
enabled and begins operation, unless the input voltage
is below the UVLO threshold or a fault condition exists.
Overtemperature Protection
Overtemperature protection circuitry is integrated in the
MCP1603/B/L device family. This circuitry monitors the
device junction temperature and shuts the device off, if
the junction temperature exceeds the typical +150°C
threshold. If this threshold is exceeded, the device will
automatically restart once the junction temperature
drops by approximately 10°C. The soft start is reset
during an overtemperture condition.
4.5
4.6
Overcurrent Protection
Cycle-by-cycle current limiting is used to protect the
MCP1603/B/L device family from being damaged when
an external short circuit is applied. The typical peak
current limit is 860 mA. If the sensed current reaches
the 860 mA limit, the P-Channel MOSFET is turned off,
even if the output voltage is not in regulation. The
device will attempt to start a new switching cycle when
the internal oscillator sets the internal RS latch.
DS22042B-page 16
4.7
Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The UVLO feature uses a comparator to sense the
input voltage (VIN) level. If the input voltage is lower
than the voltage necessary to properly operate the
MCP1603, the UVLO feature will hold the converter off.
When VIN rises above the necessary input voltage, the
UVLO is released and soft start begins. Hysteresis is
built into the UVLO circuit to compensate for input
impedance. For example, if there is any resistance
between the input voltage source and the device when
it is operating, there will be a voltage drop at the input
to the device equal to IIN x RIN. The typical hysteresis
is 140 mV.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
5.1
Typical Applications
The MCP1603/B/L 500 mA synchronous buck
regulator operates over a wide input voltage range
(2.7V to 5.5V) and is ideal for single-cell Li-Ion batterypowered applications, USB-powered applications,
three cell NiMH or NiCd applications and 3V or 5V
regulated input applications. The 5-lead TSOT and 8lead 2 x 3 DFN packages provide a small footprint with
minimal external components.
5.2
Fixed Output Voltage Applications
The Typical Application Circuit shows a fixed
MCP1603/B/L in an application used to convert three
NiMH batteries into a well-regulated 1.8V @ 500 mA
output. A 4.7 µF input capacitor, 4.7 µF output
capacitor, and a 4.7 µH inductor make up the entire
external component solution for this application. No
external voltage divider or compensation is necessary.
In addition to the fixed 1.8V option, the MCP1603 is
also available in 1.2V, 1.5V, 2.5V, or 3.3V fixed voltage
options.
5.3
Adjustable Output Voltage
Applications
When the desired output for a particular application is
not covered by the fixed-voltage options, an adjustable
MCP1603/B/L can be used. The circuit listed in
Figure 6-2 shows an adjustable device being used to
convert a 5V rail to 1.0V @ 500 mA. The output voltage
is adjustable by using two external resistors as a voltage divider. For adjustable-output voltages, it is
recommended that the top resistor divider value be
200 k. The bottom resistor value can be calculated
using the following equation:
EQUATION 5-1:
V FB
R BOT = R TOP   -----------------------------

Example:
RTOP

VOUT

RBOT
=
200 k x (0.8V/(1.0V – 0.8V))
RBOT
=
800 k(Standard Value = 787 k)
For adjustable output applications, an additional R-C
compensation network is necessary for control loop
stability. Recommended values for any output voltage
are:
RCOMP = 4.99 k
CCOMP = 33 pF
Refer to Figure 6-2 for proper placement of RCOMP and
CCOMP.
5.4
Input Capacitor Selection
The input current to a buck converter, when operating
in Continuous Conduction mode, is a squarewave with
a duty cycle defined by the output voltage (VOUT) to
input voltage (VIN) relationship of VOUT/VIN. To prevent
undesirable input voltage transients, the input capacitor
should be a low-ESR type with an RMS current rating
given by Equation 5.5. Because of their small size and
low ESR, ceramic capacitors are often used. Ceramic
material X5R or X7R are well suited, since they have a
low-temperature coefficient and acceptable ESR.
EQUATION 5-2:
 V OUT   V IN – V OUT 
ICIN ,RMS = I OUT ,MAX   ------------------------------------------------------
V IN


Table 5-1 contains the recommend range for the input
capacitor value.
5.5
Output Capacitor Selection
The output capacitor helps provide a stable output
voltage during sudden load transients, smooths the
current that flows from the inductor to the load, and
reduces the output voltage ripple. Therefore, low-ESR
capacitors are a desirable choice for the output capacitor. As with the input capacitor, X5R and X7R ceramic
capacitors are well suited for this application.
The output ripple voltage is often a design specification. A buck converters’ output ripple voltage is a
function of the charging and discharging of the output
capacitor and the ESR of the capacitor. This ripple
voltage can be calculated by Equation 5-3.

TABLE 5-2:
Inductor Selection
When using the MCP1603, the inductance value can
range from 3.3 µH to 10 µH. An inductance value of
4.7 µH is recommended to achieve a good balance
between converter load transient response and
minimized noise.
The value of inductance is selected to achieve a
desired amount of ripple current. It is reasonable to
assume a ripple current that is 20% of the maximum
load current. The larger the amount of ripple current
allowed, the larger the output capacitor value becomes
to meet ripple voltage specifications. The inductor
ripple current can be calculated according to the
following equation.
EQUATION 5-4:

 I L = ------------------   1 – -------------

Where:
FSW = Switching Frequency
When considering inductor ratings, the maximum DC
current rating of the inductor should be at least equal to
the maximum load current, plus one half the peak-topeak inductor ripple current (1/2 x IL). The inductor
DC resistance adds to the total converter power loss.
An inductor with a low DC resistance allows for higher
converter efficiency.

Thermal Calculations
The MCP1603 is available in two different packages
(TSOT-23 and 2x3 DFN). The junction temperature is
estimated by calculating the power dissipation and
applying the package thermal resistance (JA). The
maximum continuous junction temperature rating for
the MCP1603 is +125°C.
To quickly estimate the internal power dissipation for
the switching buck regulator, an empirical calculation
using measured efficiency can be used. Given the
measured efficiency, the internal power dissipation is
estimated by the following equation:
EQUATION 5-5:
VOUT  IOUT
 ------------------------------------ – V
OUT  IOUT  = P Diss
 Efficiency 
The difference between the first term, input power
dissipation, and the second term, power delivered, is
the internal power dissipation. This is an estimate
assuming that most of the power lost is internal to the
MCP1603. There is some percentage of power lost in
the buck inductor, with very little loss in the input and
output capacitors.

PCB Layout Information
Good printed circuit board layout techniques are
important to any switching circuitry, and switching
power supplies are no different. When wiring the highcurrent paths, short and wide traces should be used.
This high-current path is shown with red connections in
Figure 5-1. The current in this path is switching.
Therefore, it is important that the components along the
high-current path should be placed as close as possible to the MCP1603 to minimize the loop area.
The feedback resistors and feedback signal should be
routed away from the switching node and this switching
current loop. When possible, ground planes and traces
should be used to help shield the feedback signal and
minimize noise and magnetic interference.

Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
•
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
•
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
•
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
•
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
•
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our
products. Attempts to break Microchip’s code protection feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts
allow unauthorized access to your software or other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
