MCP1640CT-I

Microchip Tech · DC-DC Converters · SOT-23-6

MCP1640CT-I from Microchip Tech, in a SOT-23-6. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 SW passive Switch node and boost inductor input: connect the inductor from VIN to SW, which carries inductor current and can be as high as 800 mA peak.
2 GND power_in Ground return pin for circuit ground; keep the input cap return, output cap return and GND trace as short as possible to minimize noise on this pin.
3 EN input Logic-level enable input: a logic high above 90% of VIN enables the regulator output, and a logic low below 20% of VIN ensures it is disabled.
4 FB input Feedback voltage pin for output regulation through an external resistor divider; FB is 1.21 V typical with the output in regulation.
5 VOUT power_out Output voltage pin that connects the integrated P-Channel MOSFET to the output capacitor, and to which the FB voltage divider is connected for regulation.
6 VIN power_in Power supply input voltage pin, to be decoupled to GND with a 4.7 µF minimum capacitor.
