The MB3886 is a symmetrical-phase type of two-channel, DC/DC converter IC using pulse width modulation (PWM) , incorporating an overcurrent protection circuit (requiring no current sense resistor) and an overvoltage protection circuit. Providing high output driving capabilities, the MB3886 is suitable for down-conversion. The MB3886 adopts both synchronous rectification to provide high efficiency and symmetrical phasing (two antiphase triangular waves) which contributes to making the input capacitor small. The MB3886 contains a 5-volt regulator resulting in a reduced number of components used. It also contains a variety of protection features which output the protection status upon detection of an overvoltage or overcurrent while reducing the number of external protective devices required. The result is an ideal built-in power supply for driving products with high speed CPU's such as home TV game devices and notebook PC's.
