Overview

The MC33063ADR is a versatile monolithic control circuit containing the primary functions required for DC-to-DC converters. It features an internal temperature-compensated reference, a comparator, a controlled-duty-cycle oscillator with an active current-limit circuit, a driver, and a high-current output switch capable of handling up to 1.5A.

Why Choose This Part

This regulator is highly flexible, supporting buck, boost, and inverting topologies with a wide input voltage range from 3V to 40V. Its integrated 1.5A switch reduces external component count, while the 2% precision internal reference ensures stable output regulation.

Applications

Battery-Powered Step-Up Converters
Boosting low-voltage battery rails to higher operational voltages for sensors or peripheral logic.
Voltage Inverting Regulators
Creating negative voltage rails from a positive input for analog operational amplifier stages.
Point-of-Load Step-Down Conversion
Efficiently reducing 12V or 24V industrial rails down to 5V or 3.3V logic levels.

Getting Started

Design begins by calculating the timing capacitor for the 100kHz oscillator and selecting an inductor based on the peak switch current. Engineers should utilize the equations provided in the datasheet to set the adjustable output via a resistor divider and implement the short-circuit current limiting using a sense resistor at the Ipk pin.
