High converter efficiency is achieved by integrating the
current-limited, low-resistance, high-speed high-side
and low-side switches and associated drive circuitry.
The MCP16311 is capable of running in PFM/PWM
mode. It switches in PFM mode for light load
conditions and for large buck conversion ratios. This
results in a higher efficiency over all load ranges. The
MCP16312 runs in PWM-only mode, and is
recommended for noise-sensitive applications.
The MCP16311/2 can supply up to 1A of continuous
current while regulating the output voltage from 2V to
12V. An integrated, high-performance peak current
mode architecture keeps the output voltage tightly
regulated, even during input voltage steps and output
current transient conditions common in power systems.
The EN input is used to turn the device on and off.
While off, only a few micro amps of current are
consumed from the input.
Output voltage is set with an external resistor divider.
The MCP16311/2 is offered in small MSOP-8 and
2 mm x 3 mm TDFN surface mount packages. Passes
automotive AEC-Q100 reliability testing.

capacitor
BOOST Boost Voltage pin that supplies the driver used to control the high-side
NMOS switch. A bootstrap capacitor is connected between the BOOST and
SW pins.
AGND Signal Ground pin
EP
Exposed thermal pad
Feedback Voltage Pin (VFB)
The VFB pin is used to provide output voltage regulation
by using a resistor divider. The VFB voltage will be
0.800V typical with the output voltage in regulation.
3.2
Internal Bias Pin (VCC)
The VCC internal bias is derived from the input voltage
VIN. VCC is set to 5.0V typical. The VCC is used to
provide a stable low bias voltage for the upper and
lower gate drive circuits. This output should be
decoupled to AGND with a 1 µF capacitor, X7R. This
capacitor should be connected as close as possible to
the VCC and AGND pin.
3.3
Enable Pin (EN)
The EN pin is a logic-level input used to enable or
disable the device and lower the quiescent current
while disabled. A logic high (> 1.3V) will enable the
regulator output. A logic low (< 1V) will ensure that the
regulator is disabled.
3.4
Power Supply Input Voltage Pin
(VIN)
Connect the input voltage source to VIN. The input
source should be decoupled to GND with a
4.7 µF-20 µF capacitor, depending on the impedance
of the source and output current. The input capacitor
provides current for the switch node and a stable
voltage source for the internal device power. This
capacitor should be connected as close as possible to
the VIN and GND pins. For light-load applications, a
2.2 µF X7R or X5R ceramic capacitor can be used.
2013-2021 Microchip Technology Inc. and its subsidiaries
3.5
Analog Ground Pin (AGND)
This ground is used by most internal circuits, such as
the analog reference, control loop and other circuits.
3.6
Power Ground Pin (PGND)
This is a separate ground connection used for the lowside synchronous switch.The length of the trace from
the input cap return, output cap return and GND pin
should be made as short as possible to minimize the
noise in the system. The power ground and the analog
ground should be connected in a single point.
3.7
Switch Node Pin (SW)
The switch node pin is connected internally to the lowside and high-side switch, and externally to the SW
node, consisting of the inductor and boost capacitor.
The SW node can rise very fast as a result of the
internal switch turning on.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

4.1
Device Overview
An integrated precise 0.8V reference combined with an
external resistor divider sets the desired converter
output voltage. The resistor divider range can vary
without affecting the control system gain. High-value
resistors consume less current, but are more
susceptible to noise. Consult typical applications for the
recommended resistors value.
The MCP16311/2 is a high input voltage step-down
regulator, capable of supplying 1A typical to a regulated
output voltage from 2.0V to 12V. Internally, the trimmed
500 kHz oscillator provides a fixed frequency, while the
peak current mode control architecture varies the duty
cycle for output voltage regulation. An internal floating
driver is used to turn the high-side integrated
N-Channel MOSFET on and off. The power for this
driver is derived from an external boost capacitor
whose energy is replenished when the low-side NChannel MOSFET is turned on.
4.1.1
PFM/PWM MODE OPTION
The MCP16311 selects the best operating switching
mode (PFM or PWM) for high efficiency across a wide
range of load currents. Switching to PFM mode at lightload currents results in a low quiescent current. During
the sleep period (between two packets of switching
cycles), the MCP16311 draws 44 µA (typical) from the
supply line. The switching pulse packets represent a
small percentage of the total running cycle, and the
overall average current drawn from power line is small.
The disadvantages of PFM/PWM mode are higher
output ripple voltage and variable PFM mode frequency.
The PFM mode threshold is a function of the input
voltage, output voltage and load (see Figure 2-17).
4.1.2
PWM-ONLY MODE OPTION
In the MCP16312 devices, the PFM mode is disabled
and the part runs only in PWM over the entire load
range. During normal operation, the MCP16312
continues to operate at a constant 500 kHz switching
frequency, keeping the output ripple voltage lower than
in PFM mode. At lighter loads, the MCP16312 devices
begin to skip pulses. Figure 2-18 represents the input
voltage versus load current for the pulse skipping
threshold in PWM-only mode.
Because the MCP16312 has very low output voltage
ripple, it is recommended for noise-sensitive applications.

INTERNAL REFERENCE VOLTAGE
(VFB)
INTERNAL BIAS REGULATOR (VCC)
An internal Low Dropout Voltage Regulator (LDO) is
used to supply 5.0V to all the internal circuits. The LDO
regulates the input voltage (VIN) and can supply
enough current (up to 50 mA) to sustain the drivers and
internal bias circuitry. The VCC pin must be decoupled
to ground with a 1 µF capacitor. In the event of a
thermal shut down, the LDO will shut down. There is a
short-circuit protection for the VCC pin, with a threshold
set at 150 mA.
In PFM switching mode, during sleep periods, the VCC
regulator enters Low Quiescent Current mode to avoid
unnecessary power dissipation.
Avoid driving any external load using the VCC pin.
4.1.5
INTERNAL COMPENSATION
All control system components necessary for stable
operation over the entire device operating range are
integrated, including the error amplifier and inductor
current slope compensation. To add the proper amount
of slope compensation, the inductor value changes
along with the output voltage (see Table 5-1).
4.1.6
EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
External components consist of:
•
•
•
•
Input capacitor
Output filter (inductor and capacitor)
Boost capacitor
Resistor divider
The selection of the external inductor, output capacitor
and input capacitor is dependent upon the output
voltage and the maximum output current.
4.1.7
ENABLE INPUT
The enable input (EN) is used to disable the device. If
disabled, the device consumes a minimum current from
the input. Once enabled, the internal soft start controls
the output voltage rate of rise, preventing high-inrush
current and output voltage overshoot.
There is no internal pull-up or pull-down resistor. To
enable the converter, the EN pin must be pulled high.
To disable the converter, the EN pin must be pulled low.

SOFT START
Hysteresis is added to prevent starting and stopping
during start-up as a result of loading the input voltage
source.
The internal reference voltage rate of rise is controlled

the converter from starting until the input voltage is high
enough for normal operation. The converter will
typically start at 4.1V and operate down to 3.6V.

Functional Description
STEP-DOWN OR BUCK
CONVERTER
The MCP16311/2 is a synchronous step-down or buck
converter capable of stepping input voltages ranging
from 4.4V to 30V down to 2.0V to 24V for VIN > VOUT.
The integrated high-side switch is used to chop or
modulate the input voltage using a controlled duty
cycle. The integrated low-side switch is used to
freewheel current when the high-side switch is turned
off. High efficiency is achieved by using low-resistance
2013-2021 Microchip Technology Inc. and its subsidiaries
switches and low equivalent series resistance (ESR)
inductors and capacitors. When the high-side switch is
turned on, a DC voltage is applied to the inductor (VIN –
VOUT), resulting in a positive linear ramp of inductor
current. When the high-side switch turns off and the
low-side switch turns on, the applied inductor voltage is
equal to -VOUT, resulting in a negative linear ramp of
inductor current. To ensure there is no shoot-through
current, a dead time where both switches are off is
implemented between the high-side switch turning off
and the low-side switch turning on, and the low-side
switch turning off and the high-side switch turning on.
DS20005255D-page 13
MCP16311/2
For steady-state, continuous inductor current
operation, the positive inductor current ramp must
equal the negative current ramp in magnitude. While
operating in steady state, the switch duty cycle must be
equal to the relationship of VOUT/VIN for constant
output voltage regulation, under the condition that the
inductor current is continuous or never reaches zero.
For discontinuous inductor current operation, the
steady-state duty cycle will be less than VOUT/VIN to
maintain voltage regulation. When the inductor current
reaches zero, the low-side switch is turned off so that
current does not flow in the reverse direction, keeping
the efficiency high. The average of the chopped input
voltage or SW node voltage is equal to the output
voltage, while the average inductor current is equal to
the output current.

Synchronous Step-Down
PEAK CURRENT MODE CONTROL
The MCP16311/2 integrates a peak current mode
control architecture, resulting in superior AC regulation
while minimizing the number and size of voltage loop
compensation components for integration. Peak
current mode control takes a small portion of the
inductor current, replicates it, and compares this
replicated current sense signal with the error voltage. In
practice, the inductor current and the internal switch
current are equal during the switch-on time. By adding
this peak current sense to the system control, the stepdown power train system can be approximated by a
first order system rather than a second order system.
This reduces the system complexity and increases its
dynamic performance.
For Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) duty cycles that
exceed 50%, the control system can become bimodal,
where a wide pulse followed by a short pulse repeats
instead of the desired fixed pulse width. To prevent this
mode of operation, an internal compensating ramp is
summed into the current sense signal.
4.2.3
IOUT
SW
4.2.2
PULSE-WIDTH MODULATION
The internal oscillator periodically starts the switching
period, which in the MCP16311/2’s case occurs every
2 µs or 500 kHz. With the high-side integrated
N-Channel MOSFET turned on, the inductor current
ramps up until the sum of the current sense and slope
compensation ramp exceeds the integrated error
amplifier output. Once this occurs, the high-side switch
turns off and the low-side switch turns on. The error
amplifier output slews up or down to increase or
decrease the inductor peak current feeding into the
output LC filter. If the regulated output voltage is lower
than its target, the inverting error amplifier output rises.
This results in an increase in the inductor current to
correct for errors in the output voltage. The fixed
frequency duty cycle is terminated when the sensed
inductor peak current, summed with the internal slope
compensation, exceeds the output voltage of the error
amplifier. The PWM latch is set by turning off the highside internal switch and preventing it from turning on
until the beginning of the next cycle.
The MCP16312 devices will operate in PWM-only
mode even during periods of light load operation. By
operating in PWM-only mode, the output ripple remains
low and the frequency is constant (Figure 2-28).
Operating in fixed PWM mode results in lower
efficiency during light-load operation (when compared
to PFM mode (MCP16311)).
When working close to the boundary conduction
threshold, a jitter on the SW node may occur, reflecting
in the output voltage. Although the low-frequency
output component is very small, it may be desirable to
completely eliminate this component. To achieve this,
an RC Snubber between the SW node and GND is
used.
2013-2021 Microchip Technology Inc. and its subsidiaries
MCP16311/2
Typical values for the snubber are: 680 pF and 430.
Using such a snubber completely eliminates the jitter
on the SW node, but slightly decreases the overall
efficiency of the converter.
4.2.4
PFM MODE OPERATION
The MCP16311 devices are capable of automatic
operation in normal PWM or PFM mode to maintain
high efficiency at all loads. In PFM mode, the output
ripple has a variable frequency component that
changes with the input voltage and output current. With
no load, the quiescent current drawn from the output is
very low.
There are two comparators that decide when device
starts switching in PFM mode. One of the comparators
is monitoring the output voltage and has a reference of
810 mV with 10 mV hysteresis. If the load current is
low, the output rises and triggers the comparator, which
will put the logic control of the drivers and other block
circuitry (including the internal regulator VCC) in Sleep
mode to minimize the power consumption during the
switching cycle’s off period.
When the output voltage drops below its nominal value,
PFM operation pulses one or several times to bring the
output back into regulation (Figure 2-26). The second
comparator fixes the minimum duty cycle for PFM
mode. Minimum duty cycle in PFM mode depends on
the sensed peak current and input voltage. As a result,
the PFM-to-PWM mode threshold depends on load
current and value of the input voltage (Figure 2-17). If
the output load current rises above the upper threshold,
the MCP16311 transitions smoothly into PWM mode.
4.2.5
HIGH-SIDE DRIVE
The MCP16311/2 features an integrated high-side
N-Channel MOSFET for high-efficiency step-down
power conversion. An N-Channel MOSFET is used for
its low resistance and size (instead of a P-Channel
MOSFET). The N-Channel MOSFET gate must be
driven above its source to fully turn on the device,
resulting in a gate-drive voltage above the input to turn
on the high-side N-Channel. The high-side N-channel
source is connected to the inductor and boost cap or
switch node. When the high-side switch is off and the
low-side switch is on, the inductor current flows through
the low-side switch, providing a path to recharge the
boost cap from the boost voltage source. The voltage
for the boost cap is supplied from the internal regulator
(VCC). An internal boost blocking diode is used to
prevent current flow from the boost cap back into the
regulator during the internal switch-on time.

The error amplifier is internally compensated to ensure

output capacitance all have an impact on the control
system and should be selected carefully and evaluated
for stability. A 10 kΩ bottom resistor is recommended as a
good trade-off for quiescent current and noise immunity.

General Design Equations
The step-down converter duty cycle can be estimated
using Equation 5-2 while operating in Continuous
Inductor Current mode. This equation accounts for the
forward drop of the two internal N-Channel MOSFETS.
As load current increases, the voltage drop in both
internal switches will increase, requiring a larger PWM
duty cycle to maintain the output voltage regulation.
Switch voltage drop is estimated by multiplying the
switch current times the switch resistance or RDSON.

The MCP16311/2 device features an integrated slope

it is recommended to keep the inductor down-slope
current constant by varying the inductance with VOUT,
where K = 0.22 V/µH.

Input Capacitor Selection
The step-down converter input capacitor must filter the
high-input ripple current that results from pulsing or
chopping the input voltage. The MCP16311/2 input
voltage pin is used to supply voltage for the power train
and as a source for internal bias. A low equivalent
series resistance (ESR), preferably a ceramic
capacitor,
is
recommended. The
necessary
capacitance is dependent upon the maximum load
current and source impedance. Three capacitor
parameters to keep in mind are the voltage rating,
equivalent series resistance and the temperature
rating. For wide temperature range applications, a
multi-layer X7R dielectric is recommended, while for
applications with limited temperature range, a
multi-layer X5R dielectric is acceptable. Typically, input
capacitance between 10 µF and 20 µF is sufficient for
most applications. For applications with 100 mA to
200 mA load, a 4.7 µF to 2.2 µF X7R capacitor can be
used, depending on the input source and its
impedance. In case of an application with high
variations of the input voltage, a higher capacitor value
is recommended. The input capacitor voltage rating
must be VIN plus margin.
Table 5-2 contains the recommended range for the
input capacitor value.
5.5
EQUATION 5-3:
TABLE 5-1:
5.4
Output Capacitor Selection
The output capacitor provides a stable output voltage
during sudden load transients and reduces the output
voltage ripple. As with the input capacitor, X5R and
X7R ceramic capacitors are well suited for this
application. For typical applications, the output
capacitance can be as low as 10 µF ceramic and as
high as 100 µF electrolytic. In a typical application, a
20 µF output capacitance usage will result in a 10 mV
output ripple.
The amount and type of output capacitance and
equivalent series resistance will have a significant
effect on the output ripple voltage and system stability.
The range of the output capacitance is limited due to
the integrated compensation of the MCP16311/2. See
Table 5-2 for the recommended output capacitor range.
The output voltage capacitor rating should be a
minimum of VOUT plus margin.

The MCP16311/2 is designed to be used with small
surface-mount inductors. Several specifications should
be considered prior to selecting an inductor. To
optimize system performance, low DCR inductors
should be used.
To optimize system performance, the inductance value
is determined by the output voltage (Table 5-1) so the
inductor ripple current is somewhat constant over the

Boost Capacitor
The boost capacitor is used to supply current for the
internal high-side drive circuitry that is above the input
voltage. The boost capacitor must store enough energy to
completely drive the high-side switch on and off. A 100 nF
X5R or X7R capacitor is recommended for all
applications. The boost capacitor maximum voltage is 5V.
5.8
Vcc Capacitor
The VCC internal bias regulates at 5V. The VCC pin is
current limited to 50 mA and protected from a shortcircuit condition at 150 mA load. The VCC regulator
must sustain all load and line transients because it
supplies the internal drivers for power switches. For
stability reasons, the VCC capacitor must be at least
1 µF X7R ceramic for extended temperature range, or
X5R for limited temperature range.

MCP16312 – LED Constant
Current Driver
MCP16312 can be used to drive an LED or a string of
LEDs. The process of transforming the MCP16312
from a constant voltage source into a constant current
source is simple. It implies that the sensing/feedback
for the current is on the low side by adding a resistor in
series with the string of LEDs.
DS20005255D-page 17
MCP16311/2
When using the MCP16312 as an LED driver, care must
be taken when selecting the sense resistor. Due to the
high feedback voltage of 0.8V, there will be significant
losses on the sense resistor, so a larger package with
better power dissipation must be selected.
Another important aspect when creating such an
application is the value of the inductor. The value of the
inductor needs to follow Equation 5-3 or, as a guideline,
Table 5-1, where the output voltage is approximated as
the sum of the forward voltages of the LEDs and a 0.8V
headroom for the sense resistor. A typical application is
shown in Figure 5-3.
The following equations are used to determine the
value and the losses for the sense resistor:
EQUATION 5-7:
V OUT I OUT
- – V OUT I OUT
P DIS = -----------------------------Efficiency
The difference between the first term, input power, and
the second term, power delivered, is the total system
power dissipation. The inductor losses are estimated
by PL = IOUT2 x LDCR.

Thermal Calculations
The MCP16311/2 is available in MSOP-8 and DFN-8
packages. By calculating the power dissipation and
applying the package thermal resistance (θJA), the
junction temperature is estimated. The maximum
continuous junction temperature rating for the
MCP16311/2 is +125°C.
To quickly estimate the internal power dissipation for
the switching step-down regulator, an empirical
calculation using measured efficiency can be used.
Given the measured efficiency, the internal power
dissipation is estimated in Equation 5-7. This power
dissipation includes all internal and external
component losses. For a quick internal estimate,
subtract the estimated inductor DCR loss from the PDIS
calculation in Equation 5-7.

Printed Circuit Board (PCB)
Layout Information
supplying high-frequency switch current, the input
capacitor also provides a stable voltage source for the
internal MCP16311/2 circuitry. Unstable PWM
operation can result if there are excessive transients or
ringing on the VIN pin of the MCP16311/2 device. In
Figure 5-1, the input capacitors are placed close to the
VIN pins. A ground plane on the bottom of the board
provides a low-resistive and low-inductive path for the
return current. The next priority in placement is the
freewheeling current loop formed by output capacitors
and inductance (L1), while strategically placing the
output capacitor ground return close to the input
capacitor ground return. Then, CBOOST should be
placed between the boost pin and the switch node pin.
This leaves space close to the MCP16311/2 VFB pin to
place RTOP and RBOT. The feedback loop must be
routed away from the switch node, so noise is not
coupled into the high-impedance VFB input.
Good PCB layout techniques are important to any
switching circuitry, and switching power supplies are no
different. When wiring the switching high-current paths,
short and wide traces should be used. Therefore, it is
important that the input and output capacitors be
placed as close as possible to the MCP16311/2 to
minimize the loop area.
The feedback resistors and feedback signal should be
routed away from the switching node and the switching
current loop. When possible, ground planes and traces
should be used to help shield the feedback signal and
minimize noise and magnetic interference.
A good MCP16311/2 layout starts with the placement of
the input capacitor, which supplies current to the input
of the circuit when the switch is turned on. In addition to
