Circuit Working Explanation
The working principle of this buck converter circuit is simple and its main component is the MP1495 IC (U1). When a 5V–16V DC supply is applied to the input pin-2 of the IC (U1), the circuit begins switching at a frequency between 100–500kHz. The output from the SW pin-3 passes through the inductor (L1). A voltage divider resistors (R3, R4) sets the EN/Sync control pin-6 to enable the internal 5V regulator.
Another voltage divider resistors (R1, R2), is connected between the 5V regulated VCC pin-7 and ground to provide a 0.5V reference at the AMM pin-1, defining the transition point between AAM and CCM modes.
To supply sufficient voltage to the integrated MOSFET gate, the SW pin-3 output is coupled through capacitor (C5) and resistor (R6) to the BST pin-5.
A voltage divider resistors (R7, R8) between the inductor (L1) output and ground provides a reference voltage that, via resistor R5, feeds the feedback pin 8 to set the default 1.25 V output. To select one fixed output voltage (1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V, or 5V), the corresponding resistor (R9–R13) is chosen by shorting the appropriate onboard pad. Capacitors C1, C2, C3, C4, C6, and C7 stabilize the DC voltage and filter switching noise.
