PIN FUNCTIONS

Pin #

Name Description

1

COMP Compensation Pin. Connect a capacitor and resistor in series to ground for loop stability.

2

FB

Feedback Input. Reference voltage is 1.25V. Connect a resistor divider to this pin.

3

EN

Regulator On/Off Control Input. A high input at EN turns on the converter, and a low input turns

6V) for automatic startup. EN cannot be left floating.

4

GND

Ground.

5

SW

Power Switch Output. SW is the drain of the internal MOSFET switch. Connect the power

inductor and output rectifier to SW. SW can swing between GND and 25V.

6

IN

Input Supply Pin. IN must be locally bypassed.

7

FSEL

GND for 700KHz operation.

8

SS

Soft-Start Control Pin. Connect a soft-start capacitor to this pin. The soft-start capacitor is

charged with a constant current of 6µA.

OPERATION

The MP1542 uses a constant frequency, peak

current mode boost regulation architecture to

regulate the feedback voltage.

The

operation

of

the

MP1542

can

be

understood by referring to the block diagram of
