A synchronous rectified step-down converter, also known as a synchronous buck converter, is a type of DC-DC (Direct Current to Direct Current) converter commonly used in power electronics. It is designed to efficiently step down a higher voltage to a lower voltage while minimizing power losses.
The synchronous rectified step-down converter typically consists of a high-side MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor), a low-side MOSFET, an inductor, and a diode. The operation of the converter involves switching the MOSFETs to control the flow of current through the inductor, thus stepping down the voltage.

Description
The MP1482 is a monolithic synchronous buck regulator. The device integrates two 130mΩ MOSFETs, and provides 2A of continuous load current over a wide input voltage of 4.75V to 18V. Current mode control provides fast transient response and cycle-by-cycle current limit. An adjustable soft-start prevents inrush current at turn-on, and in shutdown mode the supply current drops to 1μA. [ … ]
