NCP3231A Buck Converter Overview

The NCP3231A is a high current synchronous buck converter that operates from 4.5V to 18V input and can generate output voltages down to 0.6V at up to 25A. It features a wide input voltage range, 500kHz switching frequency, lossless low-side FET current sensing, and protection against over-voltage, under-voltage, over-temperature, and faults. The NCP3231A is well-suited for use in 25A voltage regulators for applications such as cellular base stations, telecom equipment, and server systems.
