Product details
Overview
MCP16414T-I/UN from Microchip Technology is a 500 kHz fixed-frequency, synchronous step-up DC-DC converter with automatic input-to-output bypass mode, programmable UVLO (0.83–0.87 V start), and integrated PGT (Power Good + Die Overtemperature) output. It delivers up to 600 mA in bypass mode and supports 1.8–5.25 V adjustable output from 0.82–5.25 V input, optimized for single-cell Li-ion or two-cell alkaline/NiMH battery systems in portable health monitors and Bluetooth headsets.
For engineers reviewing the MCP16414T-I/UN datasheet, MCP16414T-I/UN pinout, MCP16414T-I/UN application, or MCP16414T-I/UN equivalent, key selection criteria include its PWM-only operation (no PFM), input-to-output bypass shutdown option, 0.97 V feedback reference, 2.3 µA shutdown current, and thermal shutdown at 140°C - all critical for low-noise, battery-life-sensitive designs.
Technical Context
The MCP16414T-I/UN implements a fixed 500 kHz PWM switching architecture with internal N- and P-channel MOSFETs (RDS(ON) = 0.4 Ω / 0.5 Ω), enabling stable regulation without frequency variation under light loads. Its automatic bypass mode activates when VIN ≥ VOUT, routing input directly to output via the integrated PMOS switch while disabling switching to minimize quiescent loss.
It features dual monitoring functions on the PGT pin: Power Good (90% VOUT threshold, 5% hysteresis) and die overtemperature detection (75°C typical trip). The device uses separate PGND and SGND pins for noise isolation and includes internal compensation, soft-start, and anti-ringing control to reduce EMI in compact PCB layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Mode | PWM only at 425–575 kHz - ensures constant frequency for EMI filtering and avoids audible noise in audio-sensitive applications. |
| Feedback Voltage | 0.95–0.985 V - sets precise output voltage via external resistor divider; enables 1.8–5.25 V adjustment range. |
| UVLO Start Threshold | 0.83–0.87 V (typ. 0.85 V) - prevents deep discharge of alkaline batteries; configurable via resistive divider on UVLO pin. |
| Shutdown Current | 2.3 µA (typ.) - minimizes battery drain during system sleep; enabled by logic-low EN signal. |
| Bypass Output Current | 600 mA max - sustains regulated output without switching when VIN ≥ VOUT, improving efficiency in narrow-step-up scenarios. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 140°C (typ.) with 10°C hysteresis - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking in sealed enclosures. |
| Operating Junction Temp | –40°C to +125°C - supports industrial-grade reliability in wearable and medical devices exposed to ambient temperature extremes. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-Lead MSOP (3.0 mm × 4.9 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad (EP) connected to PGND/SGND per layout guidelines.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 – UVLO | Undervoltage lockout input | Accepts resistive divider to set startup threshold; internal 485 mV reference enables battery monitoring down to 0.85 V. |
| 2 – LBO | Open-drain low-battery indicator | Asserts low when VIN drops below programmed UVLOSTART; requires external pull-up for system-level alert signaling. |
| 3 – PGT | Open-drain Power Good + Overtemperature output | Signals fault if VOUT falls >10% or die temp exceeds 75°C - single-pin dual-function monitoring for space-constrained designs. |
| 4 – VFB | Feedback voltage input | Compares against 0.97 V internal reference to regulate VOUT; high-impedance (1 nA bias) enables precision divider design. |
| 5 – VOUT | Regulated output node | Connects to output capacitor and load; carries full output current; integrates synchronous PMOS switch source terminal. |
| 6 – SW | Switch node | Drives boost inductor; handles peak currents up to 1 A; connects internal NMOS drain and PMOS source - requires low-inductance layout. |
| 7 – PGND | Power ground return | High-current return path for NMOS switch; must be tied to SGND externally to avoid ground bounce in sensitive analog sections. |
| 8 – SGND | Signal ground reference | Return for error amplifier and reference circuitry; separation from PGND reduces noise coupling into feedback loop. |
| 9 – VIN | Main input supply | Accepts 0.82–5.25 V; requires ≥10 µF local ceramic decoupling; powers internal bias circuits and gate drivers. |
| 10 – EN | Enable control input | Schmitt-trigger input; active-high (>82% VIN); pulls low to enter 2.3 µA shutdown with input-to-output bypass mode enabled. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic Input-to-Output Bypass | Enables direct VIN-to-VOUT conduction when input exceeds output, eliminating switching losses and ripple during high-battery conditions - extends usable battery life by ~15% in two-cell alkaline systems. |
| Integrated Synchronous Rectifier | Eliminates external Schottky diode; reduces conduction loss and board area; supports >96% peak efficiency at medium loads (e.g., 3.3 V/200 mA @ 1.5 V IN). |
| Programmable Low-Battery Detection | LBO pin asserts when VIN drops below UVLOSTART - allows host MCU to initiate graceful shutdown before battery leakage or brownout occurs. |
| Internal Compensation | Removes need for external compensation network; simplifies design validation and reduces BOM count by one capacitor and two resistors. |
| Low-Noise Anti-Ringing Control | Suppresses voltage spikes at SW node during turn-off; reduces EMI emissions by >10 dBµV in 30–100 MHz band - critical for FCC/CE compliance in Bluetooth headsets. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-up converter applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP16412T-I/UN | PWM-only like MCP16414T-I/UN but uses output discharge shutdown instead of input-to-output bypass. | Suitable where rapid VOUT discharge is required after shutdown (e.g., to reset downstream logic), not for energy retention in bypass mode. | Select MCP16412T-I/UN if system requires active VOUT discharge; choose MCP16414T-I/UN when preserving residual battery energy during standby is critical. |
| TPS61291DRVR | Lower IQ (300 nA shutdown), but no bypass mode, no PGT output, and no programmable UVLO - uses fixed 0.8 V UVLO. | Better for ultra-low-power always-on sensors; unsuitable for thermal-safety-critical or battery-leakage-sensitive applications. | Choose TPS61291DRVR only for sub-µA sleep budgets where bypass and thermal monitoring are unnecessary; MCP16414T-I/UN remains superior for medical/wearable safety compliance. |
Compared with MCP16412T-I/UN and TPS61291DRVR, the MCP16414T-I/UN uniquely combines PWM-only stability, input-to-output bypass for battery longevity, and dual-function PGT monitoring - making it the only option meeting simultaneous requirements for EMI control, thermal safety, and alkaline battery protection in Class II medical wearables.

FAQ
What is the switching frequency of the MCP16414T-I/UN and is it adjustable?
The MCP16414T-I/UN operates exclusively in PWM mode at a nominal 500 kHz, with tolerance of ±75 kHz (425–575 kHz). This frequency is fixed by internal oscillator design and is not user-adjustable. Unlike PFM/PWM variants in the MCP1641X family, the MCP16414T-I/UN does not support frequency modulation or external synchronization - ensuring predictable EMI behavior for certified wireless devices.
Does the MCP16414T-I/UN support automatic input-to-output bypass mode, and how does it activate?
Yes, the MCP16414T-I/UN supports automatic input-to-output bypass mode. It activates when VIN ≥ VOUT, routing input directly to output through the internal PMOS switch while disabling switching activity. This mode reduces quiescent current to <1 µA and eliminates switching noise - confirmed in DS20006394D-page 3, Note 1 and Figure 2-44. Bypass operation sustains up to 600 mA output current with RDS(ON)P = 0.5 Ω.
What functions are implemented on the PGT pin of the MCP16414T-I/UN?
The PGT pin of the MCP16414T-I/UN implements both Power Good and Die Overtemperature monitoring. It asserts low when VOUT drops below 90% of nominal value (5% hysteresis) or when die temperature exceeds 75°C (typical). This dual-function capability is exclusive to MCP16411/2/3/4 variants - confirmed in Table 3-1 and Section 4.3 of DS20006394D. The MCP16414T-I/UN uses PGT, not PG.
What is the minimum input voltage required for the MCP16414T-I/UN to start switching?
The MCP16414T-I/UN has a typical start-up input voltage of 0.85 V (range 0.83–0.87 V) when UVLO is connected directly to VIN. If an external resistive divider is used on the UVLO pin, the start threshold becomes programmable. The device stops switching at UVLOSTOP = 0.8 V (typ.), preventing deep discharge of alkaline batteries - verified in Electrical Characteristics table, DS20006394D-page 3.
How does the shutdown behavior of the MCP16414T-I/UN differ from other MCP1641X variants?
The MCP16414T-I/UN implements input-to-output bypass during shutdown (EN = GND), maintaining VOUT ≈ VIN – IOUT × RDS(ON)P rather than discharging VOUT. This differs from MCP16411/2/5/6 variants, which use output discharge shutdown. The bypass shutdown mode preserves energy in the output capacitor and extends battery life during intermittent operation - specified in Table 3-1 and Section 5.1 of DS20006394D.
