The STMicroelectronics DCP3601 series comprises high-efficiency, synchronous step-down converters designed to meet the demands of various industrial applications. These converters, including the DCP3601CMR, DCP3601NMR, DCP3601NDMR, and DCP3601CDMR models, offer a wide input voltage range from 3.3 V to 36 V and can deliver up to 1 A of output current. Operating at a fixed switching frequency of 1 MHz, these converters ensure optimized solution size and improved EMI performance through optional switching frequency dithering. The DCP3601 series is built on a peak current mode architecture, featuring an internal compensation network, soft-start circuit, overcurrent protection, overtemperature protection, and output overvoltage protection. Packaged in a compact SOT23-6L, these converters are ideal for space-constrained designs.
