Parameters Sym Min Typ Max Units Conditions
Note 1: 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.
2: Reference Feedback Voltage Tolerance applies to adjustable output voltage setting.
3: V
R
is the output voltage setting.
4: 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. T
A
, T
J
,
JA
). Exceeding the maximum
allowable power dissipation causes the device to initiate thermal shutdown.
5: The internal MOSFET switches have an integral diode from the L
X
pin to the V
IN
pin, and from the L
X
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.
6: The current limit threshold is a cycle-by-cycle peak current limit.
