The MCP1601 is a fully integrated synchronous BUCK
(step down) DC/DC converter for battery powered systems. With an input operating range of 2.7V to 5.5V, the
MCP1601 is ideal for applications being powered by
one single cell Li-Ion, 2 to 3 cell NiMH, NiCd or alkaline
sources. Output voltages can range from 0.9V to VIN to
accommodate a wide range of applications. Efficiency
can exceed 92% while operating at 750 kHz with load
current capability up to 500 mA. The MCP1601 is used

The PWM mode switching frequency is internally set to
a fixed 750 kHz allowing the use of low profile, surface
mount inductors and ceramic capacitors while
maintaining a typical efficiency of 92%.
The MCP1601 is capable of three distinct operating
modes: PWM, PFM and Low Drop Out.
When operating in PWM (pulse width modulation)
mode, the DC/DC converter switches at a single high
frequency determined by either the internal 750 kHz
oscillator or external synchronization frequency.
For applications that operate at very light to no load for
extended periods of time, the MCP1601 is capable of
operating in PFM (pulse frequency modulation mode)
to reduce the number of switching cycles/sec and
consume less energy.
The third mode of operation (LDO mode) occurs when
the input voltage approaches the output voltage and the
BUCK duty cycle approaches 100%. The MCP1601 will
enter a low drop out mode and the high-side P-Channel
BUCK switch will saturate, providing the output with the
maximum voltage possible.
The MCP1601 has integrated over-current protection,
over-temperature protection and UVLO (Under Voltage
Lockout) to provide for a fail safe solution with no
external components.
The MCP1601 is available in the 8-pin MSOP package,
with an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

MCP1601
4.0
DEVICE OPERATION
The MCP1601 is a synchronous DC/DC converter with
integrated switches. Developed to provide high efficiency across a wide line and load range, the
MCP1601 integrates the three modes of operation
described below. In addition to three operating modes,
the MCP1601 also integrates many features that minimize external circuitry, saving board space and cost.
With two external resistors used to set the output voltage, the MCP1601 output is adjustable from 0.9V to
VIN.
4.1
Operating Modes
The MCP1601 has three distinct modes of operation,
with each one optimized for a specific operating condition commonly encountered in handheld portable
power applications.
4.1.1
FEEDFORWARD VOLTAGE PULSE
WIDTH MODULATION (PWM) MODE
The Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) mode of operation
is desired when operating from typical to maximum output currents with the proper head room voltage at the
input. This mode of operation optimizes efficiency and
noise by switching at a fixed frequency. Typical output
ripple voltage is less than 10 mV when using a 10 µH
inductor and 10 µF ceramic capacitor. The internal
operating frequency of the MCP1601 is 750 kHz, nominal. The duty cycle, or “ON” time, of the high-side, integrated, P-Channel MOSFET is determined by the
continuous mode BUCK transfer function. For the continuous inductor current case, the duty cycle can be
approximated by VOUT/VIN. The integrated high-side
BUCK P-Channel switch will conduct for the “on” time.
At the end of the “on” time, the high-side P-Channel
switch is turned off and the integrated, low-side, NChannel synchronous switch is turned on to freewheel
the inductor current. The PWM mode architecture
employed in the MCP1601 is a feedforward voltage
mode control and feeds the input voltage into the PWM
oscillator ramp. This information is used to quickly
change the operating duty cycle in the event of a sudden input voltage change. The effects on the output
voltage are minimized. To force the MCP1601 into
PWM mode, the SYNC/PWM pin should be tied to a
logic high. The forced PWM mode should be used for
applications that require the fastest transient response
from light load to heavy load or applications that require
a single switching frequency independent of load.
An external oscillator between 850 kHz and 1 MHz can
be connected to the SYNC/PWM pin for synchronization to an external clock source. The MCP1601 will
always operate in the PWM mode when synchronized
to an external oscillator.
DS21762A-page 10
4.1.2
PULSE FREQUENCY MODULATION
(PFM) MODE
The MCP1601 is also capable of operating in a pulse
frequency modulation mode. This mode of operation is
desired for applications that have very long periods of
inactivity and the output current requirement placed on
the MCP1601 is very low. By entering the PFM mode of
operation, the switching frequency becomes mainly a
function of load current and will decrease as the load
current decreases. By switching slower, the energy
used turning “on” and “off” the high-side P-Channel and
low-side N-Channel is reduced, making the PFM mode
more efficient with light output load currents. When
load activity is encountered, the MCP1601 will automatically switch from the PFM mode to the fixed frequency PWM mode by sensing the increase in load
current. The auto PWM/PFM mode is selected by placing a logic low at the SYNC/PWM input pin. If an external clock is used to synchronize the MCP1601
switching frequency, the PFM mode is automatically
disabled.
To enter the PFM mode of operation, the SYNC/PWM
pin must be held to a logic low level and the peak inductor current, sensed internal to the MCP1601, is below
the internal PFM threshold for more than 1024 clock
cycles. If both of these conditions are met, the
MCP1601 will enter the PFM mode. While in the PFM
mode, the MCP1601 will disable the low-side N-Channel switch to optimize efficiency at low operating currents. A cycle will begin by turning on the high-side
P-Channel switch and will end when the output voltage
exceeds a predetermined voltage set point. If the peak
inductor current exceeds the internal PFM mode current threshold prior to the output voltage exceeding the
voltage set point, the load current has increased and
the MCP1601 will automatically switch to PWM operation. The typical hysteresis on the PFM comparator is
6 mV. The typical output ripple voltage is below 40 mV
when using a 10 µH inductor and 10 µF ceramic output
capacitor when VIN = 4.2V. For proper PFM mode operation, the value of the external inductor and the external capacitor should be the same. For example, when
using a 10 µH inductor, a 10 µF capacitor should be
used. When using a 22 µH inductor, a 22 µF capacitor
should be used.
4.1.3
LOW DROP OUT (LDO) MODE
When the input voltage to the MCP1601 is decreasing
and approaches the set output voltage level, the duty
cycle increases to a maximum of 90% (typically). To
continue to regulate the output to as high a voltage as
possible, the MCP1601 enters the low drop out mode
of operation. In this mode, the high-side P-Channel
MOSFET acts like a saturated LDO. This mode allows
the operation of the load circuitry down to the minimum
input supply that is typical in battery-powered
applications.

MCP1601
4.2
Cross-Conduction Timing
Proper timing between turning on the P-Channel, highside MOSFET and turning off the N-Channel, low-side
MOSFET (and vice versa) is critical to obtaining high
efficiency. This delay between transitions is what limits
the maximum duty cycle obtainable by the MCP1601.
The delay between transitions leads to more time when
the external inductor current is freewheeling through
the internal N-Channel body diode and leads to a
decrease in efficiency. If the timing delay is too short
and both the internal P-Channel MOSFET and NChannel MOSFET conduct, high peak currents will be
observed shooting through the device. This will also
reduce the operating efficiency. The MCP1601 inset
timing is integrated to optimize efficiency for the entire
line and load operating range of the device.
4.3
4.3.1
Integrated Protection Features
SHUTDOWN
By placing a logic low on the SHDN pin of the
MCP1601, the device will enter a low quiescent current
shutdown mode. This feature turns off all of the internal
bias and drivers within the MCP1601 in an effort to minimize the quiescent current. This feature is popular for
battery-operated, portable power applications. The
shutdown low quiescent current is typically 1 µA.
4.3.2
4.3.3
INTERNAL SOFT START
The MCP1601 completely integrates the soft start function and requires no external components. The soft
start time is typically 0.5 ms and is reset during overcurrent and over-temperature shutdown.
4.3.4
OVER-TEMPERATURE
PROTECTION
The MCP1601 protects the internal circuitry from overtemperature conditions by sensing the internal device
temperature and shutting down when it reaches
approximately 160°C. The device will shut down, the
temperature will cool to approximately 150°C, soft start
will be enabled and normal operation will resume with
no external circuit intervention.
4.3.5
UNDER-VOLTAGE LOCKOUT
Protection from operating at sustained input voltages
that are out of range is prevented with the integrated
Under-Voltage Lockout feature. When the input voltage
dips below 2.5V (typically), the MCP1601 will shutdown
and the soft start circuit will be reset. Normal operation
will resume when the input voltage is elevated above
2.7V, maximum. This hysteresis is provided to prevent
the device from starting with too low of an input voltage.
INTERNAL OSCILLATOR AND
SYNCHRONIZATION CAPABILITY
The internal oscillator is completely integrated and
requires no external components. The frequency is set
nominally to 750 kHZ in an effort to minimize the external inductor and capacitor size needed for the BUCK
topology. In addition to the internal 750 kHz oscillator,
the MCP1601 is capable of being synchronized to an
external oscillator. The external oscillator frequency
must be greater than 850 kHz and less than 1 MHz. For
proper synchronization, the duty cycle of the external
synchronization clock must be between 10% and 90%.
The minimum low voltage level should be below 15% of
VIN and the high level of the clock should be above
45% of VIN. Rise and fall time requirements for the
external synchronization clock must be faster than
100 ns from 10% to 90%. When synchronizing to an
external clock, the MCP1601 will always operate in the
PWM mode in an effort to eliminate multiple switching
frequency’s and their harmonics.

Setting Output Voltage
5.1.1
LEAD CAPACITOR
The MCP1601 output voltage is set by using two external resistors for output voltages ≥ 1.2V. For output voltages < 1.2V, a third 1 MΩ series resistor is necessary
to compensate the control system. A 200 kΩ resistor is
recommended for R2, the lower end of the voltage
divider. Using higher value resistors will make the circuit more susceptible to noise on the FB pin, causing
unstable operation. Lower value resistors can be used
down to 20 kΩ or below, if necessary.
Capacitor C1 is used for applications that utilize
ceramic output capacitors. To lower the PFM mode ripple voltage, a 47 pf capacitor for C1 is used to couple
the output AC ripple voltage to the internal PFM mode
comparator. For PWM mode, only applications that use
electrolytic capacitors that have 0.2Ω or greater of ESR
(Equivalent Series Resistance), C1 is not necessary.
The feedback reference voltage for the MCP1601 is
typically 0.8V. The equation used to calculate the
output voltage is shown below.
5.2.1
EQUATION
R1 = R2 × [ ( VOUT ⁄ V FB ) – 1 ]
Where: VOUT is the desired output voltage,
VFB is the MCP1601 internal feedback

Choosing External Components
CAPACITORS
The MCP1601 was developed to take full advantage of
the latest ceramic capacitor technology, though electrolytic types can be used as well. When selecting the best
capacitor for the application, the capacitance, physical
size, ESR, temperature coefficient, ripple current ratings (electrolytic) and cost are considered in making
the best choice.
When selecting ceramic capacitors for COUT, the temperature coefficient of the dielectric should be evaluated. Two dielectrics are recommended as they are
stable over a wide temperature range (X5R and X7R).
Other dielectrics can be used, but their capacitance
should stay within the recommended range over the
entire operating temperature range.

MCP1601
5.2.1.1
Input
For all BUCK-derived topologies, the input current is
pulled from the source in pulses, placing some burden
on the input capacitor. For most applications, a 10 µF
ceramic capacitor connected to the MCP1601 input is
recommended to filter the current pulses. Less capacitance can be used for applications that have low source
impedance. The ripple current ratings for ceramic
capacitors are typically very high due to their low loss
characteristics. Lower-cost electrolytic capacitors can
be used, but ripple current ratings should not be
exceeded.
5.2.1.2
Output
For BUCK-derived topologies, the output capacitor filters the continuous AC inductor ripple current while
operating in the PWM mode. Typical inductor AC ripple
current for the MCP1601 is 120 mA peak-to-peak with
a 3.6V input, 10 µH inductor for a 1.8V output application. Using an output capacitor with 0.3Ω of ESR, the
output ripple will be approximately 36 mV.
The recommended range for the output capacitor is
from 10 µF (±20%) to 47 µF (±20%). Larger value
capacitors can be used, but require evaluation of the
control system stability.
EQUATION
V Ripple = ILRipple × COUTesr
The above equation assumes that the output capacitance is large enough so that the ripple voltage (as a
result of charging and discharging the capacitor) is
negligible and can be used for applications that use
electrolytic capacitors with esr > 0.3Ω.
The maximum peak inductor current is equal to the
maximum DC output current plus 1/2 the peak-to-peak
AC ripple current in the inductor. The AC ripple current
in the inductor can be calculated using the following
relationship.
EQUATION
VL = L ×
dI
dt
Solving for ∆IL:
EQUATION
∆IL = ( VL ⁄ L ) × ∆t
Where: ∆t is equal to the “on” time of the P-Channel
switch and,
VL = the voltage across the inductor
(VIN - VOUT)
Example:
VIN =
3.6V
VOUT =
1.8V
FSW =
750 kHz
IOUT(MAX) = 300 mA
The approximate “on” time is
Duty Cycle (VOUT / VIN) x 1/FSW.

∆IL =

When using a 10 µF ceramic X5R dielectric capacitor,

BUCK INDUCTOR
There are many suppliers and choices for selecting the
BUCK inductor. The application, physical size requirements (height vs. area), current rating, resistance,
mounting method, temperature range, minimum inductance and cost all need to be considered in making the
best choice.
When choosing an inductor for the MCP1601 Synchronous BUCK, there are two primary electrical
specifications to consider.
1.
2.
Current rating of the inductor.
Resistance of the inductor.
When selecting a BUCK inductor, many suppliers
specify a maximum peak current.
to
the
IOUTMAX + 1/2 ∆IL
Many suppliers of inductors rate the maximum RMS
(Root Mean Square) current. The BUCK inductor RMS
current is dependent on the output current, inductance,
input voltage, output voltage and switching frequency.
For the MCP1601, the inductor RMS current over the
2.7V to 5.5V input range, 0.9V to 5V output voltage
range is no more than 15% higher than the average DC
output current for the minimum recommended inductance of 10 µH ±20%. When selecting an inductor that
has a maximum RMS current rating, use a simple
approximation that the RMS current is 1.2 times the
maximum output current.
Example:
IOUT(MAX) = 300 mA, the inductor should have an RMS
rating > 360 mA (1.2 x IOUT(MAX)).
 2003 Microchip Technology Inc.
DS21762A-page 13
MCP1601
DC resistance is another common inductor specification. The MCP1601 will work properly with inductor DC
resistance down to 0Ω. The trade-off in selecting an
inductor with low DC resistance is size and cost. To
lower the resistance, larger wire is used to wind the
inductor. The switch resistance in the MCP1601 is
approximately 0.5Ω. Inductors with DC resistance
lower than 0.1Ω will not have a significant impact on the
efficiency of the converter.
5.3
L and COUT Combinations
When selecting the L-COUT output filter components,
the inductor value range is limited from 10 µH to 22 µH.
However, when using the larger inductor values, larger
capacitor values should be used. The following table
lists the recommended combinations of L and COUT.
TABLE 5-1:
Note:

10 µF to 47 µF

22 µH

For proper PFM mode operation, the value
of the external inductor and the external
capacitor should be the same. For example, when using a 10 µH inductor, a 10 µF
capacitor should be used. When using a
22 µH inductor, a 22 µF capacitor should
be used.

Efficiency
Efficiency will be affected by the external component
selection and the specific operating conditions for the
application. In Section 2.0, “Typical Performance
Curves”, there are curves plotted using typical inductors that can be used to estimate the converter
efficiency for 1.2V, 1.8V and 3.3V.

Printed Circuit Board Layout
The MCP1601 is capable of switching over 500 mA at
750 kHz. As with all high-frequency, switch mode,
power supplies, a good board layout is essential to preventing the noise generated by the power train switching from interfering with the sensing circuitry. The
MCP1601 has not demonstrated a sensitivity to layout,
but good design practice will prevent undesired results.

Component Placement.
When designing a board layout for the MCP1601, the
first thing to consider is the physical placement of the
external components. In Figure 5-2, SM0805 10 µF
ceramic capacitors are used for CIN and COUT. The
SM0603 package is used for R1, R2 and C1. The inductor used is the Coilcraft® LPO2506 series low profile
(0.047” high). The board outline in this example is 1” x
1”. CIN, L and COUT are positioned around the
MCP1601 to make the high current paths as short as
possible.

FIGURE 5-3:
Top Layer.
The top layer of the board layout is shown in
Figure 5-3. The power conversion process is made up
of two types of circuits. One circuit carries changing
large signals (current, voltage), like CIN, COUT, L and
the VIN, LX PGND pins of the MCP1601. The other circuitry is much smaller in signal and is used to sense,
regulate and control the high-power circuitry. These
components are R1, R2, C1 and pins FB, AGND. The top
layer is partitioned so that the larger signal connections
are short and wide, while the smaller signals are routed
away from the large signals.
FIGURE 5-4:
AGND
Bottom Layer.
In Figure 5-4, the bottom layer is a partitioned ground
plane that connects AGND to PGND near the input
capacitor. The large signal current will circulate on the
top PGND partition. The lower partition is used for a
“quiet” ground, where AGND is connected.
The MCP1601 utilizes two ground pins to separate the
large signal ground current from the small signal circuit
ground. The large signal (“Power Ground”) is labeled
“PGND”. The small signal is labeled “Analog Ground” or
“AGND”. In Figure 5-3, the PGND and the AGND are kept
separate on the top layer.
